For employers
From scope to deployment in 12–16 weeks.
The pathway below covers a standard deployment of certified technical workers from India to a Dutch worksite. Timelines vary by role complexity, certification stack, and IND processing queues. Germany deployments follow a comparable structure with additional language and credential-recognition steps.
We do not promise faster. Skilled mobility involves regulated parallel workstreams; compressing them creates compliance risk that the client carries.
