BUSINESS IMMIGRATION to EU countries

The overwhelming majority of business immigration programs are related to the employment of a third-country national in a company registered in a jurisdiction where a residence permit is required. In this case, the contract between the employer and the applicant for a residence permit must meet the requirements of immigration law (as a rule, have a duration of at least one year, provide the employee with stable wages, the minimum level of which is also often determined by law, provide social insurance and pension benefits, etc.). Moreover, the company - the employer must fulfill the terms of the labor contract for its part (salary, taxes). Otherwise, the extension of the residence permit is not possible.

A few years ago, the EU Blue Card program was introduced in a number of EU countries, defining a simplified system for employing highly qualified specialists from third countries.

Within the EU, there is a directive on the transfer of employees from a parent company registered outside the EU to the business structure of the European Union. It is assumed that the parent company belongs to the same group of companies as the structure from the EU into which the employee is transferred.
