What you need for a Work Visa

Expatriate staff all need a work visa which may take several months or more to recieve. The requirements to get a work visa involve all of the following. It is imperative that you keep a copy of all this information in addition to what you send to HIS. If it is digitalized that is even better.

  1. A flexible attitude and one that is submissive to authority.  If this is a difficulty for you, it is best to stop here and not go any further.
