This list changes regularly based on a variety of factors, including our own capacity; get started on the application to see the current list.

There is a minimum of six months (six months, in most countries, has significant tax implications, we base our service around this). There is no maximum time. Confidence in your income is a regulating factor.

Requirements vary based on the home and destination country pair, your income, specialization, years experience, education, and other factors including our capacity. Generally speaking, being technically skilled with good income gives you more options.

You fill out an application. If it looks good in principle, we'll collect a (refundable) deposit and set you up on a call with a global mobility specialist. If everything is still good, we'll onboard you and get started.

If accepted into the network, we will second you to our entity in the destination country. You will be employed by us, technically. You will be paid through our global payroll to ensure taxes and compliance. That's it.

Approaches vary per country. In most cases you will have access to public health benefits should you choose them, however we offer a competitive international/expat health insurance plan. Typically this will be $300-400/month. It is optional.

Our current price of $399/month does not include: visa application fee (this varies per country), a health plan, tax return preparation, your relocation costs. There are no fees with our global payroll.

Yes. This is normal for assignments in multinational companies. We can help you apply for a certificate of coverage.

We do a few things to help you that are hard. 1) We ensure the correct taxes are remitted to the proper authorities in your destination. 2) We help you avoid double taxation, primarily through tax credits or deductions offered in bilateral tax treaties. 3) We take liability and pay for any tax disputes that result from our methods of allocating tax between home and host authorities. 4) We assess permanent establishment risks in this type of secondment arrangement by evaluating the type of work you do.

It's win-win. The destination country gains employment taxes and compliance, instead of expats doing work on tourist visas, which is not legal. Long term, talent circulation lifts all countries who host skilled talent; it's how a lot of innovation happens. We should also mention, just as countries want to attract skilled professionals, home-country companies also seek out skilled expats ("localized professionals") during new market expansion.
