Finally, our immigration experts will also advise whether the worker could qualify for extra-quota visa.

Once assessed that the worker qualifies for an in-quota permit, we will provide the documents checklist and collect all required information from the employer and from the worker.
We will complete the application form during the pre-filing period established by the government. During the designated clickday, we will submit the request and monitor it until completion.

F.A.Q. about the service
How many workers can be sponsored by the same employer?
Employers may submit up to a maximum of three applications for authorization to hire employees for each of the years 2026-2028 as private users. This limit does not apply to employers’ organizations and licensed professionals.
What if the quotas made available are not fully used?
Fifty days after the date of allocation of the quotas, if the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies finds that a significant number of quotas provided for in the D.C.P.M. have not been used, it may redistribute them based on actual labor market needs, without prejudice to the overall maximum limit.
