Can I take time off to handle a visa or immigration appointment?
Yes, visa and immigration appointments are valid reasons for taking time off. Use personal or vacation days as needed.
Visa and immigration appointments, whether for yourself or a family member, often require time off work to attend. Many employers allow employees to take personal or vacation days for these appointments, which are often mandatory and time-sensitive. Informing your employer about the appointment in advance ensures that your time-off request is processed smoothly. If the immigration process requires multiple appointments or extensive paperwork, discussing flexible work arrangements or additional leave options with your employer may be beneficial.
