Work Permit for Multinational Company Headquarters (SEM)

01 · Who it was described for

Source description

Foreign permanent staff hired directly by a company holding an SEM license, their dependents, and other workers hired by the SEM company under a different migratory status.

02 · Requirements in the source

5 recorded requirements

1. Valid SEM license of the employing company, issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industries
2. Registered employment contract, meeting the minimum salary required for SEM permanent staff
3. SEM Permanent Personnel Visa granted by the SNM, for directly hired staff
4. Registration of the contract with MITRADEL, even though the SEM visa already authorizes work
5. Additional documentation depending on whether the staff is permanent, temporary or a dependent

03 · Duration claimed

Historical wording

Permanent staff with an SEM visa do not need a separate work permit procedure while that status lasts. Other staff hired under a different category follow the validity of their own permit.
