Immigration & Work Permits

We manage immigration status for foreign employees, investors and Ethiopian-origin nationals — coordinating between the Immigration and Citizenship Service, the Ministry of Labour and Skills, and the Ethiopian Investment Commission, whose requirements interlock more than any one office will tell you.

How we help

• Work permit applications and renewals for foreign employees, including EIC-route permits for investors
• Residence permit applications tied to employment, investment or family status
• Ethiopian Origin ID (yellow card) applications for the diaspora, and the rights that come with it
• Business and investment visa guidance for first entry
• Citizenship questions: reacquisition, renunciation documentation and dual-nationality implications
• Compliance calendars so expatriate staff never fall out of status

For employers

Hiring a foreign national creates parallel obligations — permit quotas, tax registration and reporting. We run the whole sequence so HR teams aren't reconstructing requirements from queue conversations, and we track expiry dates so renewals start early enough to matter.

For the diaspora

The yellow card opens the door to most investment and property rights enjoyed by citizens. We prepare applications correctly the first time and advise on what the card does — and does not — permit.
