Multinational companies occasionally need to transfer staff from one country to another. The practice broadens an individual’s experience and can provide the host company with valuable expertise. As part of its common immigration policy, the European Union (EU) has standard rules to process the transfer applications and to ensure the people concerned are treated fairly when they arrive and work in the EU.
