Construction, manufacturing, agriculture and hospitality crews — recruited in Pakistan and moved into Bulgaria (EU) on the work-permit and long-stay D visa route, with the paperwork run end to end from our Islamabad office.
As an EU member with ongoing labour shortages, Bulgaria has become an attractive corridor for Pakistani workers across construction, manufacturing and seasonal sectors. Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment sources, trade-tests and processes workers for Bulgarian employers and manages all Pakistan-side compliance.
Because Bulgaria is an EU member, the route is a structured work-permit and long-stay visa pathway. Crown runs the Pakistan end of that pathway from Islamabad while coordinating with the employer on the European side.

Every Pakistani worker going to Bulgaria must be processed through the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BEOE) and cleared by the Protectorate of Emigrants — it is a legal requirement, and doing it correctly is what separates a compliant deployment from a problem. As a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2869/RWP), we handle Protectorate clearance, attestation, GAMCA/required medicals, police clearance and pre-departure formalities, so your workers arrive legally documented and ready.
Usually the type D long-stay visa, granted once the Bulgarian employer has secured the work authorisation (single permit / work permit). Crown handles the Pakistan-side documents and clearance that follow.
The Bulgarian employer files the work authorisation for the named worker; Crown supplies the trade-tested workers and manages every Pakistan-side compliance step.

Construction, manufacturing, agriculture and food processing, and hospitality are the roles Bulgarian employers ask for most.
