Skilled Labor Migration Consulting in EU Countries
The struggle to address the labor shortage in Europe continues. Europe doesn’t just offer us job opportunities. From the technological opportunities in the Netherlands to the high-welfare jobs in Scandinavia; from Austria’s balance of culture and career to its points-based system, European countries offer unique opportunities for skilled professionals. We help individuals and organizations who wish to achieve their goals of working, studying, and living in European countries outside of Germany take the right steps.
However, each country’s immigration system is subject to its own specific laws, procedures, and bureaucratic processes. We provide consulting support for skilled work visa processes in many European countries, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, France, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian countries. For non-EU citizens, work permits in Europe are subject to each country’s national laws.
At ASUR INTERNATIONAL CONSULTING / TRANSLATION, we analyze the specific procedures and general requirements of your target country to provide you with a personalized roadmap. We tailor your profile to best match that country’s definition of “qualified workforce” and manage your application process from start to finish.
