Questions

SBA JOB charges a one-time service fee of €150 (EUR). This is the only fee we collect. It covers our recruitment coordination, case management, interview arrangement, and administrative support throughout the process.

Yes. While our service fee is €150, the following are additional third-party costs that are not included and are paid directly by you:

The service fee is only collected after a successful interview. You are not required to pay anything before or during your interview. We only need your personal and professional information before the interview stage.

Your health insurance will be arranged and covered by your employer once you begin employment in the destination country. This is standard practice in the Netherlands, Denmark, France, and Poland, where employers are legally obligated to provide or contribute to employee health coverage. SBA JOB does not charge you for this — it is a benefit of your employment contract.

Yes — the SBA JOB service fee (€150) is refundable upon eligible request. Notary fees, translation fees, and embassy fees are paid to independent third parties and cannot be recovered or refunded by SBA JOB under any circumstances, as these are disbursements for services already rendered.

To request a refund of the service fee, contact SBA JOB in writing (by email) within 14 calendar days of your payment date. Include your full name, payment reference, and reason for the request. Approved refunds are processed back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

The full process from application to work permit issuance takes approximately 45 to 90 days. This includes document preparation, work permit application processing by the relevant government authority, and employer coordination. SBA JOB will keep you informed at every stage.

Yes, an interview is required. After you submit your information, SBA JOB will schedule an interview. This allows us and the employer to assess your suitability for the position. The interview may be conducted in person, by phone, or via video call depending on your location and the employer's preference.

Before your interview, we require basic personal and professional information including:

Your full name, nationality, date of birth, contact details, educational background, work experience, language skills, and preferred destination country. No payment is required before the interview.
