Open guideWhere to start
If you have no written policy, start with the template and the approval workflow guide, then add allowances and expense rules. If you have a policy that people do not follow, look at booking lead times, the hotel programme and how approvals are applied at the moment of booking.
If your staff travel to higher-risk destinations, start with risk assessment, traveller tracking and the emergency response plan. These three together form the core of a duty-of-care programme, and none of them needs expensive software to begin.
Each guide is written for Pakistani companies, with examples from domestic and international travel, and links to official sources where facts can change. Each carries a dated check, and we review them when rules change.
Why it matters
Employers have a responsibility for the health, safety and security of staff who travel for work. In practice that means knowing where people are, assessing risk before higher-risk trips, giving travellers safe options and acting quickly when something happens. A clear policy and a single booking process make all of that possible.

Policy guides: questions
Who are these guides for?
HR, finance and travel managers at Pakistani companies, and anyone writing or updating a travel policy.
Are these guides legal or tax advice?
No. They are practical guidance. Take legal and tax advice before adopting a policy.
Where do the facts come from?
Visa and safety facts link to official sources such as the European Commission, GOV.UK and the UK FCDO, with the date checked.
Can Go Global apply our policy?
Yes. Our managed service books within your policy, and GTOS, launching in January 2027, applies it at the moment of booking.
How we keep the guides current
Rules on visas, insurance and travel advisories change often. Each guide carries the date it was last checked and links to the official source, so readers can confirm the current position before acting.
