Are you traveling to a country for short-term work where you are not a citizen or permanent resident?

Every country has its own process, requirements, and fees for applying for a visa. Some countries may require you to travel to an in-person appointment at a consulate or embassy in select US cities. You can find current visa information by contacting the consulate or embassy of your host country.

• • Check the visa requirements for each country you are visiting and traveling through.
  • Apply for visas through international consulates and embassies.

A consular office may deny your visa application, so it’s best to adhere to their requirements and apply as early as possible. It is important that you know what is required of you before attempting to enter a country. Failing to obtain a visa could result in a denial of entry into a country and even criminal charges.

UMB has developed a Procedure for Employment Outside the United States. This procedure is linked to UMB’s Policy on Out-Of-State Work and Policy on International Activity. Please contact the Global Hub for the procedure while it is being added to the Policy and Procedure Library on the UMB website.

UMB has authorized the use of its affiliate, the Maryland Global Initiatives Corporation (MGIC), to employ individuals outside the US.  MGIC has contracted Employer of Record (EOR) firms to employ staff in countries where MGIC does not have an active business registration.

Administrative costs, employee benefits, and taxation requirements will vary and primarily be determined by the labor law in the destination country. Compliance with these requirements is a key priority for UMB, and International Operations will help you obtain the best advice possible.

International Operations can help you understand employment customs and legal requirements for allowances and benefits, depending on the nationality, residency status, and proposed country of assignment of your employee.
