Before you submit a candidate
- A clear scan of every passport page; passport valid for at least 1.5 years
- A CV with real dates, employers and duties — no gaps left unexplained
- The candidate's preferred destination and role, and one alternative
- Contact details that the candidate actually answers: WhatsApp number and email
Mistakes that cost weeks
- Blurry or cropped scans that the employer rejects
- Names spelled differently in the passport, CV and forms
- Promising a timeline before the employer confirms the vacancy
- Police clearance or certificates ordered too late
Setting expectations
Timelines depend on the destination — from a few weeks to several months for employer documents, plus the consulate's own time. Visa decisions belong to the consulate. Tell your client this at the start; it protects your reputation when something takes longer.
Country timelines and documents are on the destination pages.
