Frequently asked questions about immigration/ visa application processing.

Multiplier offers visa assistance in the following countries:

It is important to note that each country has its own timeline and visa application process. Largely, there are two stages in visa processing - pre-application and post-application.

Pre-Application: In this stage, you must fill in the details of the employee on the platform. Once the details have been confirmed, the employee is requested to submit visa eligibility documents. Multiplier’s mobility team will schedule a meeting with you and the employee to take you through the complete procedure and timelines. Once the documents are submitted by the employee and verified by our team, the contract is generated and signed. The next step undertaken is visa filing.

This entire process can take anywhere between 3-16 weeks, depending on the destination country. For example, the visa processing timeline in the UAE is three weeks; in Malaysia, it's sixteen weeks.

Post-Application: Once the visa application is filed, there is a waiting period for its approval. The duration of the waiting period again varies from country to country.

The joining date may get extended sometimes, depending on the visa procedures and processing time. In such scenarios, our team will send a ‘start date extension’ addendum with the new date. The addendum must be signed by the company, the employee, and Multiplier.

Pricing for visa services can vary across regions and countries. In the preliminary visa assessment, our mobility specialists will assist you in identifying a suitable visa option for your employee. After the employee is onboarded on Multiplier, we will send you a deposit invoice (the deposit amount will be equivalent to the salary of the employee during the notice period). Once the employee’s documents have been verified, we will send a visa fee invoice that will include application processing charges. Again, this fee can vary across countries.

A visa fee invoice is the fee that Multiplier charges for visa processing - this may include government and documentation charges while a deposit invoice is used as security to cover for the notice period of the employee in the event their employment is terminated. This helps us ensure that the employee’s salary is disbursed even when invoice payments are delayed.
