Why Balkan employers work with Relexo

Multilingual, culturally aware

Consultants who work in German, English and the languages of the region — and understand family structures and customs, not just German forms.

Communication without a time difference

Same business hours, short travel times and direct lines: your mobility team gets answers the same working day, not the next one.

Families are included

Spouse support, school placement and integration help. An employee whose family is settled stays productive.

Transparent, documented process

Fixed scope, fixed fees, written status reports per employee — ready for your compliance and audit records.

The deputation journey

A defined path from the first document check in the Western Balkans to a settled family in Germany.

1. Document & visa preparation

Degree and qualification check, employment contract review, appointment at the German mission and a complete visa file — prepared together with your HR and mobility team.

2. Arrival & first week

Airport pickup on request, furnished temporary accommodation, bank account and city registration (Anmeldung).

3. Settling in

Permanent home search, utilities, school and kindergarten places, and orientation on communities and shops from the region near your site.

4. Permits & renewals

EU Blue Card or residence permit filing, family reunification, renewals and deadline monitoring for the full assignment.
