Q: How do you get a core team from China to Europe for market entry?

An EOR plus immigration and payroll solution can employ and relocate international employees without a European entity. In this case, 5 employees were employed and relocated from China to Europe in 6 weeks with work permits secured and zero onboarding delays.

Q: Can I employ people in Europe without a European entity?

Yes. An Employer of Record (EOR) acts as the legal employer handling contracts, benefits, payroll, and compliance so e-mobility and EV brands can enter the European market and have a team operational from day one without setting up a local entity.

Q: How long does it take to set up employment and relocation for European launch?

With an integrated EOR and immigration setup, a small core team can be employed and relocated in about 6 weeks covering compliance planning, immigration and employment setup, and payroll go-live so you can focus on market entry and partnerships.

Q: What services are needed for e-mobility or EV expansion into Europe?

Typically: employment setup (legal employer, contracts, benefits), immigration and work authorization (visas and work permits), and payroll and onboarding. One partner can deliver all three for rapid operational readiness.

Q: Are work permits difficult for China-to-Europe relocation?

European immigration has specific requirements, but an experienced partner handles visa and work permit processing and documentation. In this e-mobility case study, 5 work permits were secured with no onboarding delays so the team could operate quickly.

Enabled employment and relocation of 5 international employees from China to Europe zero onboarding delays, rapid operational readiness.
