Planning a trip to the UK, the USA, or European countries and want your domestic staff to accompany you? Oki-Doki offers professional assistance in obtaining visas for your personnel, providing full support at every stage of the process.

Immigration authorities in most countries treat visa applications from accompanying staff with heightened scrutiny. The reason is a high perceived risk of misuse — for example, a staff member entering on a short-term visa and overstaying, thereby violating immigration rules.

As a result:

Such visas are typically granted only for the duration of the employer’s trip;
Approval is based strictly on clear evidence of the temporary nature of the visit.

To improve the chances of approval, it is crucial to provide proof of:

A formal employment contract between the staff member and the employer;
The staff member’s valid UAE residency status;
The employer’s financial sponsorship, such as a bank statement or letter of financial support;
A clearly planned itinerary with dates, bookings, and a logical reason for accompaniment.

📌 We ensure that your application is professionally prepared, leaving no doubts for the visa officer about the legitimacy and temporary nature of the trip.
