Your part (employer)

  • Start with the country — Romania, the Balkans, Italy and the Baltics each have different laws
  • Please don't send a "Europe labour" request without naming the country

Our part (in Pakistan)

  • Search and trade test against your job description (video or photo file if you want it)
  • Police certificate, passport check and PakSoftSkills pre-departure registration
  • Medical and embassy requirements for that country
  • Protector of Emigrants clearance under OEP 2868/RWP
  • Tickets and airport assistance from Islamabad and Rawalpindi

Usual: see the country page
If the medical, quota or embassy is delayed: see the country page

Who pays for what

What you pay us: nothing for sourcing, screening, trade testing or the shortlist pack.

Paid by the employer or in Bahrain: work permit and visa fees, any medical the destination requires, the air ticket (unless the contract says otherwise), wages, food, housing and insurance under local law.

Replacement: if a selected worker fails the medical or absconds within the agreed period, we find a replacement with no extra agency fee. Re-issuing the ticket or visa follows the terms of the demand letter.

We send copies of our licence and ISO certificate with the feasibility note on request.

Reviewed by Bassam Laiq Sheikh — Director Operations.

The labour shortage across Europe is structural, not seasonal: EU freedom of movement has pulled workers from Romania, Slovakia and the Balkans toward Western Europe for years, and the sites, hotels and factories left behind have to be staffed from somewhere. Crown Enterprises has built documented deployment routes into thirteen European countries to answer that gap, each run under its own national permit system rather than a single generic "Europe" process.

From Romania's D-visa system to Croatia's post-2021 employer-driven HZZ labour-market test to the every corridor below has its own timeline, wage floor and worker-category rules — and its own dedicated page with the current detail. We don't run one script across thirteen countries; we track what each government actually requires.

FAQ

What employers usually ask first.

Which European countries does Crown recruit Pakistani workers for?

Romania, Türkiye, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Moldova, Croatia and Italy — each with its own national work-permit system rather than one shared process.

Does every European country use the same work-permit process?

No. Each country has its own system — for example Romania's D-visa (D/AM1, D/AM2), Türkiye's 16-digit government-tracked reference code's Leje Unike (Unique Permit), and Croatia's post-2021 employer-driven HZZ labour-market test. Crown manages each corridor against its own current rules rather than applying one template to all thirteen.

Which trades are European employers asking for from Pakistan?

Across most of these thirteen corridors the same sectors are short of people: construction and skilled trades, textile and footwear manufacturing, hotels and tourism (particularly on the Adriatic and Black Sea coasts), logistics and transport, and farming and food processing.

Does Crown charge employers for recruitment?

No. Sourcing, screening, trade-testing and documentation are handled and absorbed by Crown at zero cost to the employer. Flight, permit and other logistics costs are arranged case-by-case per employer.

How is Crown licensed and verifiable?

Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment is licensed by Pakistan's Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BEOE) under OEP Licence 2868/RWP, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and a member in good standing of the Pakistan Overseas Employment Promoters Association (POEPA). All of these can be verified independently.
