Overview
What this service covers
Moving people between entities and countries touches immigration, employment, payroll, and social insurance at once. Decisions that look purely commercial — which entity employs, who pays, how long the assignment runs — determine which immigration routes are available and what obligations attach.
We plan mobility with those interactions understood, so assignments are structured in a way that is deliverable, compliant, and does not create problems at the point of extension or return.
What's included
Scope of work
Assignment structuring
How the assignment should be structured — employing entity, duration, and payroll — to be both commercially sound and immigration-deliverable.
Route selection
The appropriate route for each move, with lead times and constraints made explicit.
Dependent planning
Family accompaniment addressed as part of the plan, including schooling and dependent status timing.
Extension and return
Planning for extension and repatriation at the outset, where problems otherwise surface.
Policy framework
A repeatable mobility framework, so each move is not designed from scratch.
How it works
We are Aligned with your Business
Every Docurement engagement follows the same five stages, so you always know where a matter stands and who is responsible for it.
Initial consultation
We start by understanding your entity, workforce, sector, and current position — no commitment required.
Scoped proposal
A clear, transparent breakdown of what is required and how our fees are structured, separate from any government or authority fees.
Engagement & authorisation
Formal engagement with the appropriate authorisation for us to act on your behalf with the relevant authorities.
Dedicated point of contact
A single, accountable contact manages your file from instruction through to completion.
Ongoing reporting
Regular updates on completed actions, items in progress, and anything approaching a deadline.
Why Docurement
What makes the difference
Structure drives eligibility
Which entity employs and who pays are immigration decisions as much as commercial ones. Deciding them together avoids dead ends.
Families are part of the plan
Assignments fail on family circumstances more often than on process. Planning dependents in from the start matters.
Repeatable rather than bespoke
A framework means the tenth assignment is faster and more consistent than the first.
FAQs
Common questions
We address the immigration and status dimension, including social insurance registration where it forms part of the immigration process. Tax structuring sits with your tax advisers, and we coordinate so the two do not conflict.
Shorter than most employers assume. Even short-term and business-visitor activity carries permission requirements, and informal handling of short assignments is a frequent source of breach.
Yes. A mobility framework is often the better investment where volume is growing, and we can build it and then run moves within it.
