Immigration and relocation services

Immigration (United Kingdom)

In addition to our complete relocation package we also offer Immigration advice and assistance. This dynamic niche division of our department specialises in obtaining UK Tier 1 and Tier 2 permits and other visas for both employers who wish to employ skilled overseas nationals and candidates. Our immigration advisors provide clients with clear, accurate and impartial advice and are able to assist in a range of application making whilst having their personal immigration contacts within the Home Office. The ability of our experienced and helpful immigration team is reflected by our 100% success rate of all Home Office applications.

Our immigration services may become more relevant as the market becomes potentially harder in certain areas to identify the relevant skills & hence the need to look outside of the EEA. Our core business has always been to identify those hard to find/rare IT/Healthcare/Telecoms skills from within the UK and Overseas. GITPS can facilitate this by providing the necessary immigration advice as we are OISC registered (Ref: F200300148). We can provide advice at Level 1 category 2 (Work Permits).

By assisting in this process we can ensure that the work permits and any relevant visas or applications are processed in a timely manner. Typically we get Home Office decisions within one week. We are happy to discuss this on the phone initially but also to visit your offices and to understand your potential requirements if required. Should you have your own sources to recruit from, you may just need advice on Immigration issues. Let us take the strain.

Immigration (Finland)

In addition to our complete relocation package we also offer Immigration advice and assistance.

Employed persons / EU citizens

EU citizens and citizens of Liechtenstein and Switzerland can freely work in Finland if the work lasts for a maximum of three months. After that, they must register their right to reside in Finland, but they do not need a special residence permit.

Citizens of the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland) are registered at a Register Office if they stay in Finland longer than six (6) months.

Employed persons / Non-EU citizens

Foreign employees who are non-EU citizens and equivalent persons need a residence permit for an employed person if they intend to work in Finland. An alien who has entered the country either with a visa or visa-free is not allowed to engage in remunerated employment in Finland but, rather, has to apply for a residence permit. A residence permit can be granted on the basis of either temporary work or work of a continuous nature.
