The total time from job order approval to actual travel varies depending on several country‑specific and worker‑specific factors. Below is a clear breakdown of what influences deployment timelines.
Different destination countries require different levels of documentation. These variations significantly affect how long deployment takes.
Countries with more complex documentation requirements naturally take longer to process.
Medical testing standards differ from country to country.
The more complex the medical requirements, the longer the deployment timeline.
Training obligations also vary by destination.
Countries that require sector‑specific training (e.g., caregiving, hospitality, security) naturally extend the deployment period.
When the recruitment process is worker‑funded, the candidate may need time to mobilize the required fees. This can delay deployment.
Ethical recruitment (free recruitment) eliminates these delays because the employer covers the costs.

If flights are limited or fully booked, travel may be scheduled for the next available departure.
In simple terms:
Visa issued = Ready to travel as soon as a seat is available.
