expatriate employment

Living and working abroad have become increasingly common in the twenty first century. As companies expand abroad, many are required to relocate staff to far flung countries, many with complex and often confusing laws and regulations. An understanding of each country's unique requirements for living and working abroad require expert advice on immigration, residency, taxation, treaties, working permits, driving regulations, immunization---and a host of behavioral rules such as alcohol use and the implications of potentially serious violations of laws and customs. Laws and protocols in the Middle East, for example, are so different from the West, that inadvertent violations by foreigners are common and may result in causing serious offense. Working with our Strategic Partners, having specialized expertise in Ex Pat employment, Sagitta will help our clients avoid the many pitfalls of living and working abroad.
