IntoBotswana Immigration Advisory exists to assist businesses and organizations develop holistic approaches to immigration by assisting them with Immigration Case Management, Compliance and Training. We understand that stakeholders do not have time to continuously gather the latest information about work permits and visas, so we provide non-intrusive immigration compliance and training services for employers looking to empower their HR and others including affected expatriate personnel on immigration processes. Immigration is often considered last but has potential to delay or derail project schedules. Managing immigration is tough, challenging and can come with unpleasant surprises. You may have had to tell a new staff member that a start date needs to be put back due to a work permit problem in the past. Perhaps you sometimes find yourself non-compliant; you or your contractors utilising expatriate labour without immigration permits or violating conditions thereof. You may be feeling the pressure, your human resource or mobility departments may have to give quick answers at a moment’s notice about immigration processes. Immigration may be hampering your competitiveness or you may want to be compliant. In order to stay on top of immigration issues you need detailed, up to date information at your fingertips. Botswana immigration laws place a duty on employers to prevent ‘illegal working’ by foreign nationals. Compliance with immigration regulations is the responsibility of the employer and not the expatriate employee. Compliance with immigration laws and regulations is crucial for employers and human resource practitioners because Immigration and Labour enforcement authorities may make unannounced visit to your premises. Violation of the immigration code attracts heavy financial penalties and possible jail term for both the expatriate individual and the employer. Beyond that it comes with reputational damage, disruption of business and loss of valuable time.
