Method: Descriptive and quantitative study, carried out with the application of a questionnaire to 54 VISA employees of a municipality. A simple descriptive statistic was performed with the variables professional qualification, work process activities and difficulties. Results: It was verified that the activities were not developed by most workers, except for multiprofessional work (81.5%), and that the reported difficulties, such as the lack of vehicles (36.4%), exist in other services. The professional qualification (46.3%) expressed a relation only to the multiprofessional performance.
