Visa Types

Overview

Config > System Setup > Visa Types is a library of the visa types that have been configured for your portal. By default, the portal will include a preset list of Australian visa types, which can be added to, modified or removed to suit your requirements. If you have a portal with New Zealand enabled as a region, you'll see a preset list of NZ visa types as well. 

Each row in the on-screen list includes a description of the Visa Type and the enabled Status.

Active visa types can be assigned to an employee in their Employment Eligibility tab.
