The first step is to verify whether the worker is a Visa National and thus needs to apply for an Entry Visa: an official pre-travel document or stamp in a passport that indicates that at the time the document or stamp was given, there was no objection against coming to (not entering) the country.

An Entry Visa relates to the country that issued the visa. There are also unilateral, bilateral and multilateral arrangements whereby a country provides a simplified or accelerated visa procedure to Visa Nationals, or issues multi-state Entry Visas. 

In this step of the roadmap, you check whether such a special arrangement applies.

The "Basics" section outlines general principles of HR Global Mobility disciplines that are applicable in all relevant countries.

While these general principles apply broadly, you will also need to apply country-specific compliance requirements. For detailed, country-specific information, please consult the Country Guides.
