Compliance HR can rely on

Immigration rules change and penalties for errors fall on the employer. We keep a calendar of every permit we manage and alert HR well before any expiry.

We coordinate with your tax and payroll advisers on topics such as the special tax regime for inbound workers (the so-called Beckham regime) and social security certificates.

Frequent questions

How far ahead should we start?

As soon as the hire or transfer is likely. Timelines depend on nationality, route and consulate; starting early gives a comfortable margin.

Can the family travel with the employee?

In most routes family members can apply together with or shortly after the employee. We plan it from the start.

Do you handle NIE and TIE?

Yes, including appointments, forms and accompanying the employee when needed.

Can you help an EU employee?

Yes. EU citizens need a registration certificate and NIE, and posted workers need the A1 certificate and the prior notification.
