Cross-border FWA compliance
that holds up under audit.

We run the 4-step audit protocol for employers with third-country national workforces across the UK, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Nepal source countries. One practice. Five jurisdictions. One contract.

Who we work with.

Six segments, one practice. Pick the one that matches you.

Tier 1 OEMs with JIS-line supply chains

Volvo, VW, JLR, Stellantis, Kia — and their JIS-line Tier-1 suppliers across multiple jurisdictions.

Tier 1 sub-suppliers

Automotive components, manufacturing, logistics, electronics — anything that ships into a JIS line.

Healthcare clinics

Hiring foreign-trained doctors, dentists, nurses. Nostrification + chamber registration + FWA bundled.

Construction sub-contractors

Bratislava, London, Berlin, Amsterdam — high-volume TCN labour for project sites.

Hospitality and HORECA

Chronic TCN turnover. Managed-service layer that handles Single Permit + chamber + AKMV notification.

SME staffing agencies

Need a compliance layer across jurisdictions. White-label option available.

Five jurisdictions. One contract.

Each jurisdiction has its own register, its own inspectorate, its own criminal liability regime. We run them all under the same managed service.

The 4-step audit protocol.

Universal across every jurisdiction. Localised for every register, every inspectorate, every criminal liability regime.

1

Public register check

MPSVR (Slovakia), UK Sponsor Register, BAMF, IND, Nepal Department of Labour. Unlicensed = illegal employment. 5-minute check, daily refresh.

2

Inspection prep

Foreign Police / UKVI / BAMF / IND workplace-entry readiness review. Worker ≠ permit = immediate sanction. We make sure your documentation is in order before the inspector walks in.

3

Fine + criminal liability avoidance

€100K / Skilled Worker revocation / BAMF Bußgeld / IND boete. The audit protocol that catches the specific failure modes for TCN employers under local law.

4

Tender eligibility protection

UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 · Article 57(4) Directive 2014/24/EU · VgV §124 · Aanbestedingswet 2012. 3-year exclusion risk. We keep you ROPO-clean and your tender pipeline intact.

The 2026 regulatory cliff.

Three shifts landed in the last 60 days that change the math. Companies that pre-clear now get the workers. Companies that wait get priced out or shut out.

⚠ Three regulatory shifts that hit in 2026

  • UK Modern Slavery Act — sponsor licence enforcement tightening, compliance reviews up materially YoY
  • EU Single Permit Directive 2024/1233 — transposed 21 May 2026, 90-day decision deadline is now hard law across all EU member states
  • EU Talent Pool Regulation 2026/1047 — in force 1 June 2026, 18-month first-mover window before platform goes operational end-2027

First-mover advantage: 18 months from June 2026 to lock in pre-cleared TCN pipelines before the EU Talent Pool goes live and the market tightens.

The managed service.

Not a one-off audit. A managed pipeline with real SLAs and indemnification.
