“As an HR professional, being the middleman when it comes to immigration is really hard work. All too often I find myself simply passing information, questions and answers back and forth between the business and our immigration lawyers – it’s not a great use of my time or skills. We’ve tried upskilling line managers on the UK’s immigration system, but it’s complex and it changes frequently – I wish there was a way this could be streamlined and promote self-service by the business”

HR professional

We’ve all been there. A line manager asks HR whether it’s possible to get a visa for person X in job Y for salary Z. HR calls the immigration lawyer and relays the same question. The answer?

"Maybe – send us the details by email and we’ll have a look into it..."

HR sends over the details and 24-48 hours later, they get an answer (or requests for more information). This is then communicated back to the line manager, maybe 3-4 days after they first asked the question, by which point there’s a fair chance they’ve either decided they don’t want to proceed or else they’re annoyed it’s taken so long to answer a ‘simple’ question.

What Visa? fixes that. We guide your line managers and HR business partners through the process of performing an eligibility assessment – it takes 5 minutes and they’ll probably have the necessary information to hand. The result?

  • Your business stakeholders know whether an application is viable, the cost, and the timeframe, hours and often days earlier than they otherwise would if asking an immigration lawyer
  • You don’t get charged £000s by the lawyers for an assessment
  • You don’t have to play middleman!
