Frequently asked questions
Is Advance Overseas a licensed consultancy?

How long does the overseas hiring process take?
Typically 45–90 days depending on country and documentation.

What documents do candidates need?
Passport, resume, photo, experience letters, education certificates and country-specific documents.
Do I need to pay anything before getting a visa?
No. Legitimate consultants — including us — never ask for full payment before your visa is stamped. Small service and documentation fees are collected against a GST invoice, and the full deployment fee is only due after visa approval.
Which countries can I apply to as a fresher?
Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria regularly hire freshers for hospitality, packaging and warehouse roles. Skilled trades like welding or CNC typically require 2+ years of verified experience.
How long does the full process take?
From CV submission to boarding, most cases close in 60–90 working days. Timelines depend on the employer, your document readiness and embassy slots.
Can my family join me later?
Yes. After you complete your first year on a valid work permit, most EU countries allow family reunification. We help with the paperwork at that stage as well.
What English level is required?
Blue-collar roles usually require A1–A2 (basic conversational English). Supervisory and hospitality roles need B1. We provide free pre-departure language orientation.
Do you help with cultural orientation?
Yes. Every deployed candidate receives a pre-departure briefing covering local laws, workplace culture, weather, food and safety.
What if I want to return before my contract ends?
Contracts allow early return with a notice period, typically 30 days. We help you exit the employment cleanly so your record stays clean for future travel.
Is there any age limit for European jobs?
Most employers hire candidates aged 21–45 for skilled roles and 21–40 for hospitality. Some senior roles accept candidates up to 55.
