For immigration application work, 50% of the professional fee is generally required as a retainer. Payment terms for outsourced support are determined depending on the contract.
If an immigration application is required, we handle the application work. After employment starts, we provide support, recordkeeping, and reporting according to the support plan.

Important Notes
- Under the Specified Skilled Worker system, accepting companies have various legal and practical obligations. Outsourcing support to a Registered Support Organization does not eliminate the company’s own responsibility.
- Industry-specific requirements, council membership, permits, employment conditions, social insurance, taxes, and support implementation records may affect applications and renewals.
- Our fees do not guarantee approval, renewal, recruitment results, or the absence of future compliance issues. Outcomes depend on individual facts, submitted documents, and examination by the authorities.
