Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every job means moving to the city of the job in Belarus or Russia, and you do not work from India. Every vacancy includes relocation, help with opening the visa, and a personal manager who stays with the candidate until they start work.

Most vacancies need no experience, and the employer trains you on site. Some jobs ask for a specific trade or certificate. Each vacancy lists its requirements.

No. The employer issues the invitation and the work permit, and we prepare your documents and obtain the visa. If you already hold a valid visa, tell us when you apply and we will explain whether it can be used for the job.

No. We are a recruitment agency, not the employer. The employer decides who is hired, and the migration authorities and consulates decide on the work permit and the visa.

You must be 18 or older and able to leave India for the job. If the work permit requires a police clearance and you cannot obtain one, we cannot place you in that job. The full list is on the home page.

A valid passport, a selfie holding your open passport, and your diploma or trade certificate if you have one. A CV is optional. Add a visa only if you already have one, and a police clearance and medical examination when the work permit requires them. Upload PDF, JPG or PNG files up to 10 MB each. A clear phone photo is enough.

The selfie is a photo of your face next to the open passport page. It confirms that the passport belongs to you. It is stored privately, outside the public website, and only you and our verification team can open it, over an authenticated connection. We never publish your documents.

No. Candidates pay nothing, not for the introduction, the visa, the flight or the hostel. The employer pays the agency, the visa, the flight and the hostel. If anyone asks you for money in our name, do not pay, and write to hello@nordkaam.com.

Each vacancy shows its monthly salary in US dollars, as set by the employer. The salary comes from the employer, not from us. Check the pay terms in the contract before you sign it.

The employer pays the agency, the visa, the flight and the hostel. We obtain the visa and book the flight for you. You pay nothing for any of them.

It depends on the employer's work permit and on consulate appointment times, which neither we nor you control. Plan for several weeks to a few months from your first complete set of documents. We cannot guarantee any date, but we will tell you which stage your application is at.

The visa and the work permit are decided by the authorities, not by us or the employer. If a visa is refused, we will tell you the reason we are given and what happens next for your application. You still pay nothing, and applying never guarantees a visa.

We cannot promise this. Whether family members can join you depends on the visa and work permit for your job, and the rules can differ between Belarus and Russia. Ask your personal manager before you accept an offer.

Your employer is the company that offers the job. It signs your employment contract, issues the invitation and the work permit, and decides who is hired. Your personal manager is our staff member who stays with you until you start work.

The employer pays for a hostel room, and we arrange it for you from arrival. We also handle your migration registration within the legal deadline. You live in the city of the job: Minsk, Brest or Gomel in Belarus, or Noyabrsk, Khanty-Mansiysk, Nizhnevartovsk or Irkutsk in northern Russia.

Winters in Noyabrsk, Khanty-Mansiysk, Nizhnevartovsk and Irkutsk are long, dark and very cold, with frost often below -20 °C in midwinter. Shift patterns are set by each employer and written into your contract, so ask for the exact pattern before you accept.

No, you do not need Russian to apply, and the application is in English. Before you accept an offer, ask how the contract and the visa papers will be explained to you, and ask for a copy you can understand. Your personal manager stays with you until you start work.
