Relocation from Ukraine to Cyprus: how a gaming company found a solution for its war-affected team with Acvian EOR
Existential threats like wars or natural disasters require companies to urgently move their teams to safety. Here is how we helped a client to compliantly transition a group of specialists to a new country.

The client
US-based gaming company, had a team of 5 IT specialists in Ukraine, all holding Belarusian citizenship. Following the onset of the full-scale invasion, the client needed to relocate the team internationally and rehire them through an EOR/International PEO.
The challenge
Aside from the urgency of the situation, was selecting a European destination that issues work permits for specialists with Belarusian passports. This was complicated by the impact of the war in Ukraine on embassy and consulate operations in Belarus, as well as the country's domestic policies. Many European states no longer accept Belorussian citizens who want to relocate for work.
The solution
That we implemented for the client was to acquire the right of entry to Cyprus on a tourist visa or type D visa for all 5 employees through an online application. Once the visas were issued, the employees arrived in Cyprus and applied for a long-term work permit through the EOR model. Our specialists were in charge of the entire relocation process.
As a result
The team successfully relocated to Cyprus, with Acvian serving as their new legal employer under the EOR model. The client company thus ensured them a safe living and working environment in the new country.

What our clients say
Our service stands out, but don’t just take our word for it – here are clients’ testimonials!
What I appreciate most about Acvian is their personal touch and dedication to fostering a strong relationship with their clients. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand our unique business needs and tailor their services accordingly. Acvian team is always accessible, responsive, and genuinely interested in our success.
Andreas K.
CMO
We aimed to enter a new foreign market and decided to use an employer of record service before opening our own entity. Acvian helped us with staff hiring, employment contracts and payroll processing.
Marina K.
HRM
Firstly, let me describe the project: our company was a client for 6 months and hired a local worker (hourly contractor) with EOR (which we never used before). The employment process was much faster than we expected, for the duration of the project all was punctual, no problems, with a polite way of communication.
Anna T.
HRM
Old client here! Been collaborating with Acvian for 2 years and employed people in 12 countries with their help and saved a lot of resources. Didn’t have such a positive experience with our previous PEO provider. Very pleased with the quality of service and expertise Acvian offers.
Mick H.
CEO
I am beyond pleased with the service. The response time is short, and their representatives address spontaneous questions and issues with attention to detail. Can recommend Acvian!
