Referral programme

The network behind extraordinary mobility.

Extraordinary people are everywhere. The right introductions help them go further.

Frontier is a referral programme. You introduce someone who might qualify for a visa, we handle the rest, and you are paid when they sign.

Who it's for Individuals with a strong network, and organisations that support exceptional people.
What you do One introduction, with the person's consent. You prepare nothing and you vouch for no outcome.
What you get A share of our fee once your referral becomes a client. The rate is agreed in writing before you refer.
