You work — we keep your documents under control
No risks, no confusion. We ensure full legalization — everything is official, with no “grey zones” or uncertainty. Legal status means confidence, stability, and the opportunity to build your future in Europe.
We turned to GLW after a disappointing experience with another agency. The difference was clear: professional, transparent, and guaranteed. They staffed a full construction crew for our site in Lithuania. We’re continuing the partnership.

I always dreamed of working in Europe but was afraid of scams. GLW found me a job in a restaurant in Hungary — everything was legal and with a proper contract. Now I’m already in Budapest and very grateful. They delivered on their promise.
