## Route and permissions

Describe whether the business will introduce candidates, employ and supply workers, or provide advice only. Ask MOHRE which agency-licensing route applies to that operation. Its readable agency-branch service concerns an existing agency; the requirements for establishing a new agency have not been verified here.

## What still needs confirmation

The new-agency service could not be retrieved. The readable branch service applies to an existing agency; do not publish its fees as new-agency fees. Domestic-worker recruitment is not established by these pointers.
