Common use of Foreign Personnel Clause in Contracts

Foreign Personnel. The Contractor may bring in to the Country any foreign personnel who are necessary for the execution of the Works to the extent allowed by the Laws. The Contractor shall ensure that these personnel are provided with the required residence visas and work permits. The Employer will, if requested by the Contractor, use his best endeavours in a timely and expeditious manner to assist the Contractor in obtaining any local, state, and national or government permission required for bringing in the Contractor’s personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for the return of these personnel to the place where they were recruited or to their domicile. In the event of the death in the Country of any of these personnel or members of their families, the Contractor shall similarly be responsible for making the appropriate arrangements for their return or burial. Where the Contractor requires repayment of travel costs of foreign personnel initially borne by the Contractor, the terms of repayment shall be reasonable, made clear to the worker, and documented, prior to the worker leaving their country of origin. The worker shall signify agreement with the terms of the loan and its repayment, and shall be entitled to resign under the terms of national labour legislation and elect to repay the outstanding debt.
