Streamline Your Maldivian Workforce
Tired of the Work Permit Maze? We're Your Guide.
The process of bringing expatriate employees to the Maldives involves rigorous regulatory steps—from securing a Quota to obtaining final Work Visas. Any misstep can result in costly delays, fines, or repatriation issues.
ProEmployment specializes in end-to-end Work Permit Management and compliance. We work directly with the Xpat Online System and key government bodies (Ministry of Economic Development, Maldives Immigration) to ensure your workforce remains 100% compliant, allowing you to focus on your core business. Let us transform compliance from a headache into a certainty.
Quota Management (Pre-Hiring)
Securing Your Workforce Quota
Your company's Quota is the essential legal foundation for all foreign employment. We manage the entire lifecycle of your quota requirements:
- New Quota Application: Preparing and submitting comprehensive documentation to secure your initial employment quota.
- Quota Extension & Adjustment: Timely processing of renewals and applications to increase or decrease your permitted expatriate ceiling, ensuring business continuity during peak seasons.
- Strategic Consulting: Advising on optimal quota allocation based on industry requirements (e.g., resort staffing vs. construction projects) and Maldivian labor laws.
