How Swairi transforms the most complex mobility task into a smooth, error-free process.

Work permit initiation is one of the most critical steps in global mobility. It determines how fast an employee can begin work in a new country and how compliant the company remains during the process.
Yet for many HR and mobility teams, this step is the most time-consuming, error-prone, and documentation-heavy part of the assignment lifecycle.

“Work permit initiation doesn’t have to be a complex, manual, error-heavy process.
With Swairi’s automated workflows, HR and mobility teams can manage global moves with confidence, speed, and compliance. The platform ensures every assignment starts smoothly — setting the tone for a successful international experience.

Why Work Permit Initiation Is So Challenging

Before automation, HR teams often faced:

• Endless email threads
• Missing or incorrect documents
• Country-specific variations
• Confusing compliance rules
• Delayed employee responses
• Manual tracking in spreadsheets
• Lack of visibility for stakeholders

These challenges lead to delayed assignments, rejected applications, and increased compliance risks.

How Swairi Automates Work Permit Initiation

Swairi turns a traditionally manual process into a smart, guided workflow.

Swairi’s Mobility Platform solves this by automating the entire work permit initiation workflow, ensuring accuracy, speed, and compliance.

✔ 1. Auto-Triggered Initiation Based on Assignment Details

When an assignment is created in Swairi, the system automatically identifies:

• The correct work permit type
• Required documents
• Country-specific eligibility
• Steps that HR must follow

No more guesswork or searching through guidelines.

✔ 2. Automated Document Collection

Swairi sends employees a personalised checklist and reminders to upload the correct documents:

• Passport
• Job offer/contract
• Photos
• Certificates
• Country-specific forms

Employees upload directly to the platform — removing the need for email chasing.

✔ 3. Intelligent Validation Checks

The system verifies:

• Document completeness
• Expiry dates
• Format requirements
• Missing information
• Country-rule mismatches

This dramatically reduces rejection rates at immigration offices.

✔ 4. Task Automation for HR & Mobility Teams

Swairi auto-generates workflow tasks such as:

• Data collection
• Document review
• Employer declaration preparation
• Payment scheduling
• Appointment booking
• Internal approvals

Each step is automatically routed to the right person.

✔ 5. Real-Time Status Tracking

HR, employees, and mobility teams get:

• A live progress dashboard
• Alerts for delays or issues
• Milestone tracking
• Audit trails

Everyone sees the same information — no confusion, no silos.

✔ 6. Compliance Alerts & Rule Engine

Swairi automatically flags:

• Eligibility issues
• Minimum salary warnings
• Required supporting documents
• Timeline risks
• Country-specific legal conditions

This ensures the entire process stays compliant with host-country laws.

Automation that saves time. Precision that prevents errors. That’s the Swairi way.
