4. Visa, Work Permit & Immigration Support

• Immigration Logistics: Coordinate visa applications, German work permits/Blue Cards (Blaue Karte EU), and residence permit renewals for international employees and expats in collaboration with local immigration authorities (Ausländerbehörde) and external agencies.
