An ICT (Intra-Company Transfer) work permit is a type of work permit that allows employees of multinational companies to work in a branch, subsidiary, or affiliate company in another country. This type of permit is intended to facilitate the transfer of specialized knowledge and expertise within a company.
ICT work permits are usually granted for a limited period of time, typically ranging from six months to five years, depending on the country's immigration regulations. The specific requirements for obtaining an ICT work permit can vary depending on the country, but typically require that the employee has been employed with the company for a certain amount of time, has specialized knowledge or skills that are essential to the company's operations, and will be paid a salary that is comparable to local standards.
It is important to note that ICT work permits are not available in all countries and that the rules and regulations governing them can vary greatly from country to country. Therefore, it is important for companies and employees to seek guidance from a qualified immigration lawyer or specialist to determine the eligibility and requirements for obtaining an ICT work permit in a particular country.
