It offers EU mobility and a faster path to long-term residence.

The standard employment route for third-country nationals, processed by the Immigration Directorate of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Before hiring, the employer must declare the vacancy to the National Employment Agency (ADEM); if no suitable EU candidate is found, ADEM issues a certificate authorising recruitment of a third-country national.
