Construction, logistics and manufacturing workers — deployed to both the Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska, with entity-correct permit handling.
Bosnia & Herzegovina faces a steep domestic labour deficit, as large numbers of its workers have migrated into Western Europe. That has opened a real corridor for Pakistani construction, logistics and manufacturing talent — and Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment sources, trade-tests and deploys workers for Bosnian employers across both entities of the country.
Bosnia is unusual: it is highly decentralised, and hiring is governed differently depending on which entity your site is in. Most agencies miss this. We don't.
Quotas and salaries are set annually and change; figures indicative. See the 2026 work-permit guide for full detail. We confirm current requirements before any commitment.
Bosnia & Herzegovina is split into two entities with separate labour administrations, and a work permit is processed through the system for the entity where the job is located:
A realistic planning view for Bosnian employers and project budgets:
| Targeted Trade | Core Skills We Source | Indicative Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Civil Construction | Shuttering masons, steel fixers, civil engineers | ~60–90 days |
| Logistics & Transport | Heavy truck (HTV) drivers with international experience | ~60–75 days |
| Manufacturing | CNC operators, assembly-line workers, welders | ~75–90 days |
Timelines are indicative averages and vary by entity, quota availability and individual cases; they are not guarantees. We confirm current requirements before committing.
Workers we deploy to Bosnia receive pre-departure orientation including essential Bosnian/Serbo-Croatian site-safety commands — so crews are safe and productive from day one.
As a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2868/RWP), we complete BEOE Protectorate clearance, attestation, medicals and police clearance in Pakistan, so every worker travels legally documented.

📱 Bosnian employers: message us on WhatsAppBosnia & Herzegovina is decentralised into two entities with separate labour administrations. Roles in Republika Srpska (e.g. Banja Luka) go through the Employment Bureau of Republika Srpska and its quota allocations; roles in the Federation of BiH (Sarajevo, Tuzla, Mostar) go through the Federal Employment Service. We process correctly for whichever entity your project sits in.
Banja Luka is in Republika Srpska, so hiring there runs through the Employment Bureau of Republika Srpska and its quota system.
Sarajevo and Tuzla are in the Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina, so hiring there runs through the Federal Employment Service.
Indicatively around 60–90 days depending on the trade, entity and quota availability — civil construction and manufacturing toward the longer end, logistics often faster. We give a realistic estimate per batch and confirm current requirements.
Civil construction (shuttering masons, steel fixers, civil engineers), logistics (international HTV drivers) and manufacturing (CNC operators, assembly workers, welders).
Yes — pre-departure orientation including essential Bosnian/Serbo-Croatian site-safety commands, so workers are safe and productive on arrival.
