Immigration

Global Mobility

Coordinated movement of employees, executives and other key people across borders — the assignment held with immigration, employment, payroll and tax, not treated as a standalone filing.

Where mobility starts

Mobility starts with the business need.

An international move is usually an operating decision first. The person, the role and the immigration work follow from what the business is trying to do.

  1. Transfer a senior executive
  2. Deploy a specialist
  3. Launch a team in a new market
  4. Support an international assignment
  5. Relocate an employee with family
  6. Move people after a transaction or restructuring
  7. Establish a repeatable mobility programme

The assignment

The assignment has an architecture.

Business need, person, role, destination and immigration sit in one structure. Employment, payroll and tax often move with them. The classification is identified after that picture is read — not before.

  1. Business / person / role

    Why the move exists, who is going, and what they will do.

  2. Assignment / destination

    The length, terms and jurisdictions the assignment sits inside.

  3. Immigration

    Who may enter, work or remain — and on what basis the assignment actually requires.

  4. Employment / payroll / tax

    The employment relationship, where the person is paid, and the tax residence the move creates.

  5. Family / ongoing compliance

    Accompanying family where relevant, and the operating rhythm after arrival.

Connected work

A mobility matter rarely stays in one discipline.

Immigration, tax, accounting, business services and, where needed, legal or private-client work can sit in the same assignment. Millcorn holds them as one matter. Regulated work is carried out by those entitled to do it.

  1. An executive transfer

    Immigration, payroll, tax residence and the employment arrangement often move together.

  2. A market launch

    Company setup, employer setup, immigration and payroll may be one coordinated sequence.

  3. A family-accompanied assignment

    Employee immigration, family position and personal tax questions often belong in the same conversation.

Typical situations

How the need usually appears.

These are operating situations, not visa categories. Belonging to one of them does not determine a particular immigration route.

How Millcorn helps

Read the assignment, then coordinate the work.

You describe the business objective and who is moving. Millcorn maps the assignment and coordinates the immigration, employment, payroll or tax work it requires.

  1. 01

    Understand the objective

    Why the business is moving people — a transfer, a launch, an assignment or a programme.

  2. 02

    Map person, role and jurisdictions

    Who is moving, what they will do, and where the assignment sits.

  3. 03

    Identify the connected work

    Immigration is read with employment, payroll and tax — not as a separate product name.

  4. 04

    Coordinate the professional work

    Qualified professionals carry out the regulated work. The assignment stays in one conversation.

  5. 05

    Implement and keep visibility

    The client relationship stays with Millcorn while people move, operate, change or return.

Through the assignment

Mobility has a lifecycle.

A single filing is rarely the whole matter. Assignments are planned, prepared, moved, operated, changed — and later returned or made local.

  1. Plan

    Business objective, assignment structure, jurisdictions.

  2. Prepare

    Immigration, employment, tax and payroll preparation.

  3. Move

    Employee and, where relevant, family coordination.

  4. Operate

    Ongoing mobility, payroll and compliance implications.

  5. Change

    Extension, new role, new jurisdiction or restructuring.

  6. Return / remain

    Repatriation, localisation or longer-term residence planning.
