Global Immigration Network

What Global Immigration Network does

Global Immigration Network (G.I.N.) is an unincorporated association of independent immigration and relocation practitioners headquartered in East Melbourne, Australia, providing coordinated visa processing, immigration consultancy, corporate immigration, relocation support, and immigration policy advisory services. The network is structured as a federation of 20 country-specific member firms — including Expat International (Australia), EMDOC (Brazil), Map Relocations (Benelux), Executive Relocations (France), Palladium Mobility Group (Germany), Writer Relocations (India), Relo Japan, Reloko (Korea), Intermark Relocation (Russia), PROVEN SA (Saudi Arabia), Executive Relocations Africa, Nordic Relocation Group (Sweden), EER (UAE), and Lima Relocation Services (Peru) — each holding local legal qualifications and many carrying ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and EuRA Global Quality Seal certifications. The model gives enterprise multinational clients a single point of access to in-country licensed specialists across South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and East Asia, replacing the operational complexity of managing dozens of separate local counsel relationships.

The business model is professional services revenue earned at the member-firm level for case-based immigration and relocation engagements, complemented by what appears to be coordination, referral, and brand-level activity at the central G.I.N. entity. G.I.N. serves two primary segments: corporate clients with globally mobile workforces and individual expatriates/families requiring work visas, residence permits, permanent residency, and family reunification support. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales through member firms, supported by a multilingual corporate website, country-specific microsites, and an active content/blog channel on immigration policy developments. Multiple member firms hold memberships in EuRA, Worldwide ERC, the Migration Institute of Australia, the Migration Alliance, and various national chambers of commerce, providing channel and credibility leverage across the global mobility and HR buyer ecosystem.

The company is private with no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue, and a central headcount of 11-50 employees; technology infrastructure is limited to a WordPress marketing site with standard analytics and consent tooling, and no AI/ML, API, or proprietary platform is disclosed. The network's structural risk is its unincorporated association model, which yields a low asset base at the central level and limits the network's ability to drive coordinated technology investment, centralize revenue, or pursue an exit — making G.I.N. closer to a referral-and-brand consortium than an integrated operating company.
