In short

Your first group takes longest, because it goes through the complete permit and visa process. After that, extra workers and replacements move through a continuous pipeline, so you never start again from scratch.

Step by step

A first group always passes through these steps:

Which steps set the pace

Two steps cannot be accelerated: the permit decision and the visa appointment. Their timing depends on the voivode office for your area and on consulate capacity at the moment. We run every other step in parallel.

Working back from your start date

Give us the date you need people. We plan each step backwards and tell you within one working day whether the date works. If it is too tight for one full group, we suggest a staggered start.

Run a rolling pipeline

Employers who order regularly keep workers moving through the process at all times, so peak headcount and replacements are ready on time instead of each order starting from zero.

You plan the work. RRI covers everything around it. Order Pakistani warehouse and general workers on demand: see how it works or send your order.

Questions employers ask

Who applies for the work permit?

RRI does. You never deal with the voivode office, the consulate or residence formalities.

Can the group start in stages?

Yes. When the date is tight we plan a staggered start so the first workers arrive as early as possible.
