How we help with employment

Our cooperation starts with your request and a consultation. The scope of our work is fixed in a contract. We agree every stage in advance; timing depends on the country, the vacancy and the consulate, so we name it after the consultation.

The employer's invitation

Many countries admit foreigners for long-term work on a work visa and an invitation from the employer. Where an invitation is optional, it still makes the visa easier to obtain. Once the vacancy is agreed and the employer is ready to hire you, we contact the employer so that the invitation meets the requirements for its content and form.

Documents and certificates

The set of documents depends on the country and the position: the more responsible the role, the more paperwork. Sometimes medical certificates are needed. We prepare the forms for the visa centre and the embassy and help you put the package together.

Relocation and first days

We suggest the best way to travel and help book tickets. In the country of work we help you get your bearings: find housing near work and get to your first meeting or working day on time. Advisory support continues for the whole time you work abroad.
