Hiring workers from third countries in Bulgaria

Practical questions before hiring
What is the work permit process in Bulgaria?+
The procedure depends on the type of employment and the candidate’s status. For a single residence and work permit, the application is submitted to the Migration Directorate, with the Employment Agency providing an opinion on labour market access. We assist with documentation and subsequent visa steps where applicable.
Which countries do third-country workers come from?+
Alpha Consult recruits workers from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other non-EU countries. We maintain candidate databases across multiple regions and handle all visa and relocation logistics.
What guarantees does Alpha Consult provide?+
We provide a replacement warranty — if a placed worker leaves or is unsuitable within the agreed period, we replace them at no additional cost. We also provide legal support, post-arrival assistance, and ongoing communication support.
How long does it take to hire workers from third countries?+
The schedule depends on the country, procedure, readiness of documents and processing by the authorities. Recruitment, the visa and arrival are separate stages. We provide an indicative schedule for your request and progress updates, rather than a fixed timeframe for every case.
What do you need to start recruitment?
The role, number of employees, workplace, main duties and required experience. We then clarify shifts, conditions, accommodation and the possible starting date. We will provide information about candidates’ expectations.
Can we interview candidates before selecting them?
Yes. You can meet candidates online. For roles requiring practical skills, we discuss a video test or another appropriate assessment, depending on the occupation and availability.
How do we prepare for their arrival?
We clarify accommodation, travel to work, induction and the company contact person in advance. Good preparation helps employees settle in and join the team.
