Industry scope, local recruitment, median wages, staffing ratio, housing, statutory fees, company registration and timeline — each maps to a Labour Department requirement.

FAQ
Does the result mean formal approval?
No. This self-check reflects the Labour Department’s published rules; formal outcomes are decided case by case. Our consultants verify your actual documents in the formal assessment.

Commonly: completing local recruitment with records, arranging compliant housing, and confirming ratios and median wages — all preparable before filing.
