German Work Permit Approval for a UK Logistics and Technical Services Provider

A British company delivering logistics, technical support and transport services under a German contract required a compliant immigration solution for employees travelling repeatedly from the UK to Germany.

‍

The company needed clarity on the immigration requirements applying to its employees’ ongoing assignments in Germany, taking into account both the nature of the work being performed and their previous periods of stay in the country.

Having identified the appropriate German immigration route, we prepared and submitted the relevant work permit applications to the German authorities.

‍

The German work permit applications were successfully approved, providing the client with a clear and compliant basis for its employees to undertake their assignments in Germany.

‍

The successful outcome gave the company greater certainty when planning future assignments and enabled it to continue delivering its contractual services in Germany while ensuring compliance with applicable German immigration and work authorisation requirements.

‍

Conclusion

This case demonstrates the importance of assessing the actual nature of employees’ activities, travel history and proposed assignments when determining whether work authorisation is required.

‍

Where employees travel repeatedly across borders to deliver contractual services, a clear assessment of the applicable immigration requirements can help organisations establish a compliant route while reducing uncertainty and potential operational disruption.
