Frequently asked questions
Can a new employer start planning now?
Yes. Start with the operating plan, role list and current documentation requirements; the authority decides each application on its evidence.
How long will approval take?
Timing depends on the authority, completeness of the file and the employment process. Build a buffer instead of relying on an assumed approval date.
Can recruitment and document preparation run together?
They can be planned in parallel where the applicable rules allow, provided each step uses consistent role and employer information.
