Work-permit and visa processing for the Schengen Area

Most employment routes into the Schengen Area start with an employer-side work permit or authorisation, followed by a national (type D) visa applied for at an embassy or visa centre. Requirements, forms and appointment systems differ from country to country — and often between embassies in different GCC states.

BritFly prepares and checks candidate documents, books embassy and VFS appointments in the candidate’s country of residence, submits the visa file and liaises with the mission until a decision is issued. We work alongside the employer or agency that holds the job offer, and with partners and associates in the destination country.

How we support files for this group

• Document checklists per destination
• Embassy & VFS appointment booking
• National (D) visa file preparation and submission
• Embassy liaison and follow-up
• Interview preparation

Immigration rules change frequently. We always work from the destination authority’s current requirements, and decisions remain with the authorities, embassies and employers.
