Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee certification?
No. This is a facilitation service — we prepare and present the strongest possible case, but the certification decision rests entirely with the public entity.
What is the difference between the Tech Visa and the Startup Visa?
The Tech Visa lets certified companies hire non-EU tech talent, while the Startup Visa supports founders launching innovative businesses. We confirm which route fits your company.
What happens if it is rejected?
We handle the communication and any appeal with the authority. If further work is needed beyond the appeal, we tell you and quote it before proceeding.
