Expat US

The opening of a new location in the USA is mainly done by transferring already existing employees (so called expats), who are then assigned e.g. to work on outsourced projects, to establish or improve communication between the locations and much more. In most cases, employees are sent abroad because of their existing competencies in the company (so-called know-how transfer).
The assignment of employees abroad should be well planned out. Among other things, the application for a visa, the move, finding an apartment/house, administrative procedures, subsequent immigration of the family members, health insurance, etc., must be thought of early on.

Challenges in the context of employee transfer:

• Visa
• Accommodation
• Relocation
• New professional/private environment
• Employment contract
• Language
• Family life
