Work permit extension: how to avoid a gap
A work permit extension is needed when a foreign employee continues to work for the company and the permit is about to expire. It is worth dealing with this in advance: if the permit expires, the employee can no longer work on the same basis, and the company will have to start the process from scratch. SSS Consult handles work permit renewals for employers in Almaty and makes sure the application is filed on time.
What we check before filing
- the validity of the current permit and the employee's passport;
- whether the position and working conditions match those stated in the permit;
- fulfillment of the obligations the company assumed at the initial application;
- whether the company's and the employee's documents are up to date.
Based on the check, a lawyer will tell you whether the permit can be extended or the situation requires another solution.
Work permit reissue
A reissue is needed when the permit is valid but the circumstances have changed. Typical cases: the company has changed its name, gone through a reorganization or needs to replace a foreign specialist. It is important to determine correctly whether reissuing the work permit is enough or a new one is required.
Replacing a foreign specialist
If an employee has resigned or moved to another position, the company can hire another foreigner in their place under the permit already issued. We will prepare the new candidate's documents, check that they meet the requirements for the position and complete the procedure without unnecessary visits to government offices.
What else to consider
Together with the permit extension, it is often necessary to extend the employee's visa or update their registration. We look at the situation as a whole so that all of the employee's documents are valid at the same time.
