    "I have been working in the DRC for two years and have always received professional and efficient service from Rob Hackney and the rest of his Icon team with regards to all work permit / visa related matters. The stand out moment for me was when I purchased a house in South Africa and the bank required a letter from the President of the DRC confirming my status. Rob managed to obtain the necessary document within 48 hours."

    Rob Hackney explained the process in detail to me and regularly kept me up to date as things changed as it is a huge process with many steps but from my police clearance, inoculations, medicals, visas through to the final work permit approval stage was all done behind the scenes by Rob and not just for me but for my new employees namely Theuns Erasmus, Louwtjie Vorster, Eduard Legrange to name a few have all received 5 star treatment.
