Describe your need - we will come back with a route and an estimate

The form takes three steps and requires no documents. The trade, headcount, city and target start date are enough - we clarify the rest in a call.

What to include

Reply within one business day. The request commits you to nothing: the contract is signed later.

A request is an ask for an estimate, not a commitment

After the request you get three things: whether the workers you need are available on a route, a realistic timeline to the first shift, and the cost structure across the three recipients. Only then does it make sense to talk about a contract. Nothing is signed or paid at this step.

What to include in the request, and what to prepare after it

No documents are needed for the request. They come later, once the project starts - which is why it helps to know the list in advance.

Include in the form

  • The trade, or a description of the work on site
  • Headcount and whether you need it in batches
  • City or region of the site
  • Your company's industry
  • Target date for the first shift
  • Whether housing is needed for the group
  • Contact of the person running the project

Prepare for the project start

  • Company details
  • Registry extract
  • Authorized person for the project
  • Draft employment contract
  • Salary information
  • Address of residence for registration

If some of the data is not ready yet, send the request with what you have. A clarification takes one call, while waiting for the full package usually delays the project by weeks.

What happens next

Four steps from your request to a signed contract. Timings are in business days.

  1. 01

    Reviewing the request

    We check whether the workers you need are available on WORKIN's routes and whether your date is realistic. If the timeline does not add up, we say so immediately, not after signing.

    From the companyNo involvement neededTypical timeframeup to 1 business day
  2. 02

    A call about the site

    We clarify the work, shifts, on-site conditions, housing and transport. This is the most useful step: half of the mismatches in projects come from a vague description of the work.

    From the company15-20 minutes on a callTypical timeframe1-2 days
  3. 03

    Commercial proposal

    You receive the scope of work, the timeline, the payment schedule, the replacement clause and the three cost parts separately: state fees, the migration partner's services and WORKIN's fee.

    From the companyApprove the termsTypical timeframe1-2 days
  4. 04

    Contract and start of recruitment

    The contract is signed before recruitment starts. After signing, WORKIN engages partners in the country and you hand over the company document package.

    From the companySignature and document packageTypical timeframe3-5 days

Overall practical benchmark from request to first shift: 4-7 weeks on visa-free routes, 8-14 weeks with a D visa.

When it makes more sense not to start with the form

A request is for when the decision is already made. If it isn't, these pages save more time.

  • You need to work out what it costs

  • You are not sure the company is ready for a group to arrive

What people ask about the request

Answers to what stops people before sending the form.

  • No. The request is an ask to check worker availability and produce an estimate. Obligations only arise after a signed contract, which appears at the fourth step.
