Flexibility to scale with your business

The scope of work in a Visa/PRO Retainer is defined based on current and anticipated needs, such as the number of employees and dependant visas. However, businesses grow and evolve, and so do their requirements.

If the number of employees or dependants exceeds the initially agreed scope, the retainer agreement can be revised to accommodate the additional workload. This flexibility ensures that a client’s immigration needs are always met without disruption, whilst minimising costs.

Sovereign PPG’s Visa/PRO Retainer offers a comprehensive and flexible solution for managing immigration processes in the UAE. We are seeing increasing demand for these services, especially from businesses with larger headcounts such as schools, oil and gas firms, and large retail conglomerates.

By streamlining operations, ensuring compliance and reducing costs, this service can be an invaluable asset for businesses of all sizes.
