In today’s globalization era, businesses are looking to expand their recruitment pool to attract top-tier talent from around the globe and grow in newer markets. To achieve this, employers may occasionally procure work visas for their employees. However, navigating the intricacies of work visas can be daunting due to varying procedures and laws in countries worldwide.

To streamline this process for you, Multiplier provides end-to-end visa assistance, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for you and your employee.

Here are the visa processing stages to help you move your employees quickly without any admin delays.


Visa Onboarding

To initiate the visa process for an employee during onboarding, follow the below steps.

Step 1: Click on 'Hire & Onboard' in the left sidebar and select ‘Onboard an Employee’.

Step 2: To get started, select the country where the employee requires a work visa.

2.1 In the eligibility section, select 'No, I would like Multiplier to assist me with getting a work visa'.

2.2 Click on ‘Continue’.

Step 3: Fill in the basic details, add compensation, select an insurance plan (mandatory by law in some countries), and check compliance details (leaves, notice period, probation, solicitation, and non-compete policies).

3.1: Click on ‘Continue’.

Step 4: On the compliance page, click on ‘Confirm and Proceed’ to continue.

Note: To edit the contract details, navigate to the 'Review Contract Details' section and click on the edit icon next to each section. To delete the contract, click on ‘Delete’.

Visa Processing

Once the above details have been filled, the visa process will begin. There are five stages in the visa process.

  1. Visa Feasibility Check: Once you have confirmed the employee's details, the employee will be required to upload certain documents for a visa eligibility check.

  2. Contract Signatures: The contract will be sent by the Multiplier team to the employee and signatory for signatures via email. For certain countries (list below), you can send the contract for signatures directly from the platform.

  3. Visa Application: Visa will be filed by Multiplier's mobility team.

  4. Onboarding Documents: The employee will be required to fill in additional details, such as bank details, payroll documents, approved work permit documents, etc, to continue the onboarding process.

  5. Employee Activation: The details will be verified by our team once the visa is issued, and the employee will be activated.

Visa Feasibility Check: Employee Document Submission & Verification

Step 1: Once you have confirmed the employee’s details, the employee will be invited to sign up on the Multiplier platform and is requested to submit visa eligibility documents. In case any additional documents are required, Multiplier’s team will reach out to the employee via mail.

1.1: Once the documents are uploaded, the Multiplier team will begin the verification process.

1.2: Once the verification is done, a ‘Visa Fee Invoice’ will be sent to you. This invoice must be cleared in order to proceed to the next step.

Contract Signatures

Step 2: Once the Visa Fee is paid, the contract will be sent to the employee and the signatory for signatures.

Note: For employees who require visas in Spain, Germany, Japan, and Singapore, you must send the contract for signatures by clicking on ‘Send Contract’ as shown below.

Once the signatory signs the contract, it will be sent to the employee for signature. You will be able to view the status of the contract, as shown below.

Visa Application: Filing and Approval

Step 3: Once the contract is signed, the visa application is prepared and will be filed. At this stage, you will receive an email regarding the ‘Deposit Invoice’ that needs to be cleared to onboard the employee on Multiplier.

Onboarding Details: Additional Employee Documents

Step 4: Once the visa is filed and approved and the Deposit Invoice is paid, the employee is requested to fill in additional details, such as bank details, payroll documents, approved work permit documentation, etc, to continue the onboarding process on the platform.

Employee Activation

Step 5: Our team will verify the details submitted by the employee.

5.1: Once the visa is issued, details are verified, and payment of the ‘Deposit Invoice’ is made, our team will activate the employee on the platform and set them up for payroll. With this, the onboarding process will be complete.
