Documents Employers Must Prepare for Foreign Personnel Employment
The most frequent problem in work-permit applications is missing documentation. Knowing in advance which category a document belongs to, and the form in which it must be submitted, markedly accelerates the process.
Employer Documents
- Current trade registry information
- Documents evidencing the field of activity
- Current financial standing documents
- Information on the existing staffing structure
- Signature circular and authorisation documents
- Authorisation document for the person submitting the application
Documents Relating to the Foreign National
- Passport and identity details
- Diploma or educational certificates
- Vocational qualification and certification documents
- Documents evidencing work experience
- Health documents where required
- Photographs and biometric data
Format Requirements
Form matters as much as content. Currency of dates, completeness of signatures and stamps, sworn translation and, where necessary, notarisation should all be checked systematically. Documents originating abroad may require additional verification steps.
The Checklist Approach
Rather than collecting documents piecemeal, working from a checklist prepared for the specific application type is the most efficient method. It makes visible at a glance which documents are complete, which await translation and which are approaching expiry.
