Visa, Work Permit & Immigration Support in Djibouti 

Comprehensive Support for Business Immigration by Global Employer of Record

In today’s dynamic business landscape, reaching your full global potential requires a seamless approach to talent acquisition and employment. Express Global Employment stands as your trusted partner, empowering you to navigate the complexities of global mobility and immigration with confidence.

Who are the ideal candidates for the Express Global Employment and Immigration solution? They include:

  • Corporations seeking to transition their operations to Djibouti, aiming to recruit, relocate, and remunerate expatriates as part of their global workforce strategy.
  • Accomplished professionals who possess individual expertise and have secured sponsorship from their employers for immigration and employment opportunities in Djibouti, facilitating their integration into the country’s dynamic work environment.
  • Businesses intending to deploy their top-tier talent to Djibouti, leveraging their specialized skills and knowledge to enhance their corporate presence and operational efficiency within this strategically important market.

Navigating Documentation Challenges

Navigating the documentation maze is easier said than done. Employers juggle numerous documents, from proof of citizenship or legal residence to employment verification and birth certificates. This effort is further compounded by the necessity to meet specific deadlines and provide correct forms when interacting with governmental agencies. The stakes are high: failure to comply can delay or even rejections of essential work permits and visas.

Simplifying the Process: Expertly Managed Applications

We aim to streamline this complex process at Express Global Employment. Clients must fill out the forms, provide necessary signatures, and furnish proof of employment and other details. Our dedicated team of immigration and global mobility specialists takes over from there. We handle everything else, offering expert advice and support at every stage. Our finely-tuned system reduces the legwork for clients while ensuring that they remain engaged and informed throughout the process.

Services Offered

We provide a comprehensive suite of global mobility and global employment services, including:

  • Expert guidance on the forms required and how to fill them correctly
  • Assistance with document collection and form completion
  • Support in preparing for any face-to-face meetings or interviews
  • Coordination with in-country immigration authorities as required
  • Ongoing support until your case is approved.

Mitigating Risks of Visa and Work Permit Rejections

Risk mitigation is paramount at the core of our services. Express Global Employment, through our Global Employer of Record solution, assumes the responsibility for sponsorship and formal employment, transforming the process of obtaining work permits into a streamlined and dependable operation. If your objective is to manage your international workforce efficiently and cost-effectively, our services are tailored to meet these needs. We provide sponsorship for work permits and visas, regardless of the number of employees or their varied geographical locations. This approach ensures a smooth, compliant, and expedited process for deploying talent globally.

Note: Having a single provider that sponsors a work permit or visa on your behalf and then employs expats in Djibouti minimizes the risks of visa rejection. In addition, it takes the hassle associated with immigration procedures off your head.

Unlike other global Professional Employer Organizations, Acumen International can provide extra benefits in addition to work permits received for further employment of expats in Djibouti. This includes medical insurance, housing, office rent, mobile phone and car provision to meet-and-greet, dependents relocation, etc.

Attention: we are not an immigration service! We do not provide a work permit and immigration support as a standalone solution to individuals willing to find jobs overseas.
