Assignment of an engineering team to Germany
Assignment of an engineering team for the client's project undertaking in Germany; permit-type selection, EU Blue Card applications, social security coordination, and family reunification were managed within a single programme.
The project schedule must not lose to the visa timeline
The project start date was fixed; the sequence of the applications and the quality of the documents would determine whether the staff were on site on time.
Choosing the right permit for each engineer (Blue Card / secondment) was worked out together with the salary thresholds and the family plan.
Our Approach
Keeping the commercial objective at the centre, we broke the legal risks into measurable steps.
01 · Status Analysis
The staff were sorted into the correct permit tracks according to role, duration, and salary thresholds.
02 · File Production
Diploma, equivalence, and contract documents were turned into a standard bilingual package.
03 · Family & Integration
The family-reunification and settlement steps were carried out in parallel with the main applications.
Chronology
The main stages of the process.
On site, on time and with their families
The team took up their posts in Germany in line with the project schedule; the programme was turned into a repeatable template for subsequent assignment waves.

- Selection of the correct permit type
- Family reunifications running in parallel
