One of the main concerns of applicants is an accurate estimate of costs and the time required. In our approach, we make this information as transparent and predictable as possible:
| No. | Item | Cost | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Initial assessment and consultation | Depends on the type of service package you choose (basic to comprehensive packages) | 1–3 business days |
| 2 | Resume preparation and translation | Depends on specialty, work experience, and the number of projects listed in the resume | 3–5 business days |
| 3 | Translation and certification of documents (Ministry of Science, Judiciary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassy) | Depends on the number of academic documents, degree level, and issuing country (each document has a separate process) | 2–4 weeks |
| 4 | Credential equivalency in the destination country | Fully dependent on field of study, degree level, and the university where the degree was obtained; costs are set by the legal authorities of the destination country | 2–6 weeks |
| 5 | Referral to employer and interview | Included in the package with no separate cost, but timing depends on the number of interview rounds and the employer’s recruitment process | 2–6 weeks |
| 6 | Job offer and contract issuance | Administrative costs are borne by the employer; the contract type (full-time, project-based, part-time) affects the details | 1–2 weeks |
| 7 | Work permit and visa acquisition | Government costs, fully dependent on visa type, validity period, and tariffs announced by the Ministry of Labor of the destination country | 4–8 weeks |
| 8 | Estimated total | Final cost depends on factors such as the number of documents, package type, government tariffs, and exchange rate at the time of the process (personal costs such as tickets, insurance, and temporary accommodation are calculated separately) | 4–6 months |
Important note:
The figures and timelines presented in this table are estimates based on Royal Center’s experience in similar projects and, due to dependence on multiple variables (number of documents, type of specialty, exchange-rate changes, government tariffs, and employer conditions), may vary from applicant to applicant.
We also emphasize that these estimates do not guarantee the final outcome, and the process is always subject to approval by the competent authorities of the destination country. However, our transparent approach helps you make your final decision to start this professional path with open eyes, full awareness, and smart planning.
