Visa Onboarding

Visa Processing

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’.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
