AI immigration compliance
AI immigration compliance.
Immigration compliance means keeping every permit holder within the terms of their permit, before filing and for as long as they hold it. Settio uses AI to check documents against the permit's requirements and to flag what a case is missing, and plain rules to watch salaries, expiry dates and job changes. Passports are read from their machine-readable zone and never sent to AI.
In short
What to know
Before filing
Documents checked against the permit's requirements, so a case is complete the first time.

Salaries checked month by month against the permit terms, with the follow-up tasks when a month falls short.
Permit & salary monitoringExpiry and changes
Warnings before permits and passports expire, and a check whenever a job, salary or employer changes.
