Middle East Immigration & Relocation for Key Talent
A human-led service for companies placing business-critical people in the Middle East — coordinating immigration, employment setup and relocation around local requirements.
HOW THE SOLUTION
WORKS
The country, the role, the person, the business objective, the timing and the family circumstances established from the outset.
Immigration, sponsorship, employment and documentation requirements mapped for the destination, with appropriate local specialist support where required.
Documentation, local specialists and relocation activity kept connected, with the employee and their family supported through the transition.
Local employment, onboarding and practical arrival requirements coordinated, with ongoing support available after the move.
You have found the right person. Now they need to move into a market where sponsorship, employment requirements and relocation processes work differently. The country matters. So does the employer structure, the person moving and the family moving with them.
Akkar coordinates the move through our team in Dubai.
• International businesses expanding into the Middle East
• Companies hiring specialist talent from outside the region
• Relocating a senior or business-critical employee into a Middle Eastern market
• Businesses navigating an unfamiliar local employment and sponsorship structure
• Employees relocating with a partner or family

Immigration in the Middle East is not one process. Sponsorship structures, employment requirements, documentation and arrival processes vary by country. Employer setup, the person moving and their family circumstances all need to align. Akkar keeps these moving parts connected, coordinating local specialist support through our presence in Dubai.
What this Engagement Delivers?
The destination, employment circumstances and relevant immigration requirements established early, with local specialist input coordinated where required.
The responsibilities around employing and sponsoring the person identified before the move progresses, helping the business understand what needs to be in place locally.
Employer and employee requirements tracked through the process, with key stages and dependencies visible before relocation and start dates are committed.
Immigration, relocation, likely costs and practical dependencies considered together so the employee and business understand what needs to happen, and when.
Practical support around housing, schooling, healthcare, local documentation and settling-in requirements, according to the relocation support agreed.
Employers, local specialists and relocation providers can create multiple handovers. Akkar keeps the wider move coordinated around the person making it, through a team operating in the region.
Employment requirements differ between markets. Akkar helps coordinate the relevant local structure, documentation and specialist support needed around the hire.
The practical requirements around arrival and starting work are built into the relocation plan, reducing the risk of important dependencies being addressed too late.
Where circumstances change after arrival, Akkar can coordinate the relevant parties and practical requirements around renewals, dependants or future mobility needs.
