Background
Deel, a global HR and payroll platform, has launched Business Visas, a new service to make short-term international business travel faster and easier. Built with WorkFlex, the service lets companies track applications, follow immigration rules, and get expert-reviewed approvals in real time for travel to more than 150 countries.
Short trips often fall outside standard HR processes. Companies usually rely on law firms, spreadsheets, and emails, which can create mistakes, delays, and extra work. With business travel expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2026, handling these trips efficiently is more important than ever.
Business Visas helps companies manage travel in one place. HR teams can handle dozens or hundreds of travelers for off-sites, meetings, and events. Freelancers, consultants, and founders can also use it to manage their own travel without hiring legal help. Every application is checked by experts, eligibility is verified automatically, and documents are delivered quickly, making the process fast and safe.
Deel is also licensed to provide the first immigration services in the UAE and thus provides visa services to clients via Deel. This was initially launched in the UAE, which will be followed by other countries.
“Short-term travel is important for global companies,” said Pearce Dolan, Head of Product at Deel. “Business Visas make it simple for HR teams and travelers to stay compliant and reduce stress.”
Patrick Koch, Co-Founder of WorkFlex, added: “Our platform makes travel fast, accurate, and easy to manage for both companies and individuals.”
With this launch, Deel now supports both long-term relocation and short-term travel, offering a complete solution for global mobility.
