How can we help you?

Moving abroad is an exciting adventure, and meeting new people is easier than you might think. Everyone is in the same situation, open to making new friends and building connections. You can meet people abroad by joining local events, sports clubs, or language exchanges, and by connecting with colleagues or other expats. Many people also use apps like Bumble For Friends or Meetup to find others who have recently moved abroad. At Yobbers, we often see friendships form naturally between candidates who start their new jobs around the same time.

You only need to speak the languages required for the job. In most cases, that is your native language (Dutch or German) and English, which are always listed in the vacancy description. Usually, you do not need to speak the local language to start working abroad, as many international companies use English as their main language. Once you arrive, you can always learn the local language to make everyday life easier and connect with locals.

Typically, you must register with the local municipality or relevant authority in the country where you live and work if you plan to stay long-term. In most EU countries, this registration is required within a few months of your arrival to enable legal residence, healthcare access, and other administrative necessities.

Regarding deregistration from your home municipality, the situation is more nuanced. Deregistration is not always necessary before you leave, but it is mandatory once you establish residency abroad for an extended period.​ In the Netherlands, for example, you are required to deregister from the municipality if you move abroad for longer than 8 months within a year, even if you keep your home in the Netherlands. In Germany, you are generally required to deregister as soon as you no longer have a residence in the country. As preparation, it’s always good to check what applies to you and your situation. Failing to register or deregister properly can cause issues with taxes, health insurance, and access to services.

If you encounter any problems - whether at work, with housing, or if you’re feeling homesick - you can always reach out to Yobbers. Your recruiter is ready to listen, guide you, and help find solutions with your employer or provide tips. We stay in touch even after you start your job to make sure you feel supported.

Some jobs abroad offer the flexibility to work remotely or part-time, but you will still need a fixed place to live in your destination country. Employers usually require a registered address for tax and administrative reasons, even if you work online. They’ll also expect you to have a designated workspace where you can work reliably. If you’re looking for more flexibility, check our remote and hybrid job offers abroad on the Yobbers website. You’ll find roles that allow you to work from home while still enjoying life in another country.

Absolutely! Working abroad is a fantastic way to kickstart your career. At Yobbers, we offer a variety of entry-level jobs abroad with international companies. Whether you have little to no experience or want to try a new field, we help you find opportunities that match your ambitions to begin your career abroad.

Absolutely! Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, working abroad offers valuable opportunities for growth. Many candidates begin in entry-level roles like marketing, sales, or customer service and later develop within the same company. For professionals with experience, international work broadens your skills, expands your network, and often leads to faster promotions and leadership roles. Growing your career abroad means gaining global experience that opens doors to bigger opportunities, both internationally and at home. Read more about how Dennis developed his career in Portugal.

Yes, of course! You can apply again anytime if you’re ready for another job abroad. Whether you want to return to a familiar destination or try something completely new, our recruiters will help you find the right opportunity. Once you’ve worked abroad with Yobbers, applying again is even easier as we already know your profile and can match you faster with new employers.

Your employment contract will always be with the employer abroad, not with Yobbers. We act as the recruitment platform that connects you with trusted companies across Europe, but the official employment relationship is directly between you and your new employer. This means your salary, working conditions, and benefits are arranged according to the employer’s contract and local labor laws. If you encounter any issues or challenges during your employment, Yobbers is here to help and can assist in contacting your employer to help find a solution.

Salaries vary depending on the country, employer, and type of job. Most jobs abroad in Europe offer a monthly salary between €1,100 and €2,200, depending on your experience and the cost of living in the destination. In countries such as Portugal, Greece, or Bulgaria, the cost of living is generally lower than in Northern Europe, which means you can still live comfortably on an average local salary. Many employers also offer extra benefits, such as a signing bonus, performance bonuses, paid accommodation, or relocation support, which help reduce your expenses abroad.

If you decide to end your job abroad, it’s important to follow the notice period stated in your employment contract. This period can differ depending on your employer and destination country, so always check your contract before resigning. If you’re ready for a new adventure abroad, you can easily apply for another job via Yobbers. Our recruiters are happy to help you find a new opportunity that matches your interests and goals.
