Business Travellers

Our team of immigration specialists provides operational and strategic support to help manage the compliance risks of business travellers.

We are experienced in developing and operating systems and procedures to manage your business traveller population and associated risks efficiently, while supporting the commercial objectives behind the global mobility programme as a whole.

A key area of risk is where employees fail to inform the employer through appropriate channels of their travel plans. This has multiple implications relating to immigration compliance, payroll, taxation, expenses management and the employer’s duty of care. Employers should know at any one time where their employees are operating from.

We can help ensure business travel does not take place under the radar and without the knowledge of the HR or mobility team, by ensuring relevant data is captured, systems are updated.

In addition to operational support, our immigration advisers also provide strategic support, with substantial experience of developing organisational governance frameworks that support compliance and employee mobility for commercial needs.

Our expertise includes:

• Drafting & reviewing business travel policies
• Consulting on the appropriate immigration route, ensuring the reason of travel complies with local rules on permissible business activities
• Completing work authorisation & visa application support
• Supporting with border issues and employees detained by immigration control
• Consulting on systems such as traveller tracking, expense and security systems, aligning functionality such as integration and automation to business need across areas such as immigration, tax and payroll
• Supporting with training and travelling employee engagement to promote shared accountability between travellers and HR or mobility teams of compliance requirements
