Client Introduction and Their Challenge

Key Questions Addressed:

• Who is the client and why is global mobility critical for them?
  
• What relocation challenges did the clean-tech company face?‍

A leading clean-technology and recycling systems provider, specializing in reverse vending machines (RVMs) and circular-economy technology, was expanding its operational footprint across Europe. To support technical deployments, engineering projects, and sustainability initiatives, the company needed to relocate specialized talent along with their families.

However, the company faced significant challenges typical in the clean-tech sector’s global mobility needs:

Client Challenges

• Multi-country workforce: Engineers and technical experts needed to be moved between several EU countries.
  
• Diverse nationalities: Employees from India, Turkey, South Africa, and Brazil required different document preparation and immigration steps.
  
• Family relocations: Dependent visas and residence permits added complexity.
  
• Fragmented processes: No unified tracking system for immigration, case progress, or documentation.
  
• Slow vendor communication: Delays in updates impacted project timelines.
  
• Lack of visibility: HR struggled to forecast visa/residence permit issuance dates.
  
• Compliance and accuracy risks: Manual handling increased the chances of errors.
  

The company needed a scalable, compliant, and transparent global mobility solution to support rapid operational growth.

Jobbatical Experience: Fast, Transparent & Built for Clean-Tech Global Mobility

Key Questions Addressed:

• How did Jobbatical support multi-national relocations efficiently?
  
• Which visa types and residence permits were processed?
  
• What measurable improvements did the platform deliver?
  

The program covered the entire journey — from initial eligibility checks and document collection to embassy appointments, visa issuance, pre-departure briefings, arrival support, and post-arrival registration — ensuring zero surprises and full compliance in every destination country. Jobbatical proactively managed family reunification cases so spouses and children experienced little to no separation time, which dramatically reduced employee anxiety and improved long-term retention.

Nationalities Relocated & Destination Breakdown

Visa & Permit Types Managed in This Clean-Tech Relocation Project

• EU Blue Card (highly-skilled migration) The primary visa used for 25 of the 30 engineers (especially the 18 Indians and most Turks moving to Germany and the Netherlands) – a fast-track EU-wide work and residence permit for highly qualified non-EU professionals earning above the threshold, granting immediate work rights and a direct path to long-term residency.
• National Skilled Worker Visas & Residence Permits Applied in cases where the EU Blue Card criteria were not fully met or when national schemes offered faster processing; used as the main route for several South African and Turkish engineers relocating to the Netherlands and Germany.
• Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Permits Utilized for 4 South African engineers who were already employed by the company’s non-EU entities, allowing seamless internal transfers to European branches without labor market testing and with simplified documentation.
• Family Reunification & Dependent Visas Processed for all 10 family members (spouses and children); in most EU cases these were issued simultaneously or shortly after the main applicant’s visa, enabling families to travel together or reunite within weeks – a key factor in achieving zero-stress relocations and 100% satisfaction.
• US Skilled Worker Visas (treated here as business visas for project-based assignments) For the 3 engineers relocating to the United States (2 Indian, 1 Brazilian), Jobbatical managed business/skilled worker visas, allowing them to join U.S. project sites quickly for critical recycling technology deployments.
• National D-Visas (long-stay entry visas) Issued by German and Dutch consulates as the initial entry visa for almost all EU-bound employees; this long-stay “Type D” visa allowed engineers to enter the country immediately and convert it into a full residence permit within days of arrival, dramatically speeding up on-site start dates.

This ensured 100% compliance while accelerating timelines for critical engineering and technical roles.
