Visa sponsorship platform for employers hiring abroad

Hire from anywhere. Vistolane vets the candidate and the case.

How it works

For employers, Vistolane searches and screens international candidates for sponsor-eligible roles, checks salary and licence rules before the offer, then matches the hire with a Vistolane verified and vetted immigration agent to process the work visa. You follow the case from your own account with right-to-work evidence filed automatically.

  1. Intake. Clients or travellers are added from a form, a manifest or your existing records; each gets a file, an owner and a deadline.
  2. Validation. Documents are checked against the authority's published rules before anything is lodged, and missing items are chased automatically.
  3. Filing. A licensed processing partner lodges the application and books biometrics; every step is logged on the audit trail.
  4. Decision. The decision lands against the guaranteed date; your client is notified and the invoice closes.

What we promise

    What changes for employer

    Fewer status calls because clients see the stage themselves; fewer refusals because rules are applied before filing; predictable timelines because the filing date is guaranteed in writing and the decision window is quoted from the authority; and a permanent record of every document and decision for compliance reviews.

    Questions, answered

    How does Vistolane work for employer?

    You keep the client relationship and the fee. Vistolane runs intake, document validation, filing and tracking through licensed processing partners, and every file carries a guaranteed filing date you can quote. Your team and your clients see the same live stage in the portal.

    What does it cost?

    A platform fee per user per month plus a processing fee per file. Government fees are paid by the applicant. There are no setup charges and data migration from spreadsheets or another system is included.

    Which destinations and visa types are covered?

    Tourist, business, student, work, family, investor, settlement and citizenship routes to the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the United States, the Schengen states, the UAE, Singapore and Japan, among others.

    How long does onboarding take?

    One to two weeks. Open cases are imported, users and roles are set up, the branded client portal is connected and the team is trained in a single working session.

    Why employers sponsoring overseas hires use Vistolane

    Hiring from abroad fails in two places: an offer made for a role or salary that the authority will not sponsor, and a permit that lapses because nobody tracked the reporting duties after the hire. Both are avoidable, and both are expensive, because a refused petition delays a start date by months and a compliance breach can cost the sponsor licence that every other foreign employee depends on. HR teams need the rule checked before the offer letter and the duties tracked for the life of the permit.

    Vistolane runs the sponsorship check first: occupation eligibility, the current salary threshold or prevailing wage, the employer's licence or registration status, and the documents the candidate will need, for the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore. Candidates can be sourced from the sponsored jobs board, where every listing has already passed the same test. Once the hire is agreed, a vetted immigration partner prepares and files the petition with the employer, the candidate and the Vistolane team on one record, and the decision window is quoted from the authority.

    After the start date the same record carries right-to-work evidence with its check date, permit expiry reminders, the reports a sponsor must send and the audit trail an inspector would ask to see. Employers see every sponsored employee in one workspace and pay per user per month plus a per-case processing fee; government fees are charged at the published rate.
