At the permit assessment units, cases are handled including family reunification, EEA, self-employed individuals, researchers, and athletes, as well as other permits and work permits.

What does a migration officer do?

As a migration officer, you will handle, investigate, decide, and prepare proposals for decisions in various types of cases.
