Immigration Immigration can be a highly complex process, involving strict visa controls and complicated migration regulations. Our immigration services simplify the process and reduce any stress by taking the responsibility for all immigration requirements when deploying personnel. These services are coordinated through our local offices and include: • • • •

No two immigration scenarios are ever the same and so we ensure that every case is reviewed and managed independently. Our Global Mobility teams work closely with the people being deployed to ensure that their entry in-country is as straightforward and easy as possible. Below is an example of the proven system that we have in place for managing the visa application process:
Engage

Facilitate
Follow-up calls to support personnel in document gathering, answering queries and providing interim quality assessments on suitability of available documentation and additional resources e.g. booking medical
Lodge

Testimonials Toothache offshore “The Global Mobility Team has always been available to assist and smooth the way and I have never received anything but excellent service…when I dislodged a tooth filling offshore in Nigeria, Air Energi’s Assignment Support Team came to the rescue. Within two days, an emergency dental pack arrived for me courtesy of the UK team. All fixed up and feeling no pain, I stayed the full time and completed many more trips before moving to another assignment with Air Energi. This is just one instance when Air Energi went above and beyond the call of duty.” John Craft Stranded and in danger “When I was stranded without support and despite my not being through Air Energi at the time, the UK support team was kind enough to assist in arranging transportation for me, plus other logistics. I was under an immense amount of stress stranded in a strange and dangerous country and the team helped prevent me from having a breakdown. I promised upon my return I would move over to Air Energi and here I am still. I will never forget the support Air Energi gave to me over this period.” Don Hensley Positive people “I cannot say enough good things about the Global Mobility Team. They made my experience with Air Energi a good one. They were very professional, courteous, and prompt which helped shape my very positive opinion about Air Energi. I would absolutely use Air Energi again and would be happy to recommend their services.” Eric Black

www.airenergi.com
Safe
Our overriding concern at all times is to ensure the safety of personnel deployed. Much of what we do is pre-emptive in creating the right framework and conditions for safe deployment but also to provide an essential safety net should anything go wrong
Innovative
We are continually developing and improving our already comprehensive range of services. Our structure and communication processes allow us to innovate in one part of the world and copy successful implementation and delivery across the globe
Pragmatic
Pragmatism comes from competency and common sense. The experience of our teams is second to none. We know what to do, how to do it and if we still can’t find a solution we know who to ask!
Knowledgeable
From the subtleties of local culture to the intimate knowledge of local taxation and employment law. It is our accumulated and shared wisdom which gives comfort to our clients that risks will be mitigated.
Passionate
Spend a day in an Air Energi office and you will come away with an overwhelming sense of individuals caring about what they do and how they can make other people’s lives that bit easier. It’s the little things that matter. Ask anyone deployed overseas and they will always say the same.
Inclusive
We know what its like to be away from home not quite belonging to either a new community or work group. It is the human touch above all that our clients recognise in the Air Energi global mobility teams that set us apart
We Deliver
Whether it is mobilisation to a tight deadline, accuracy of payroll, acquisition of a work permit, our global mobility teams know what it is like to have to deliver and surpass expectation every day.
