A company asks a potential employee to pay the costs of visa. Is it legal?
Hello,
I received an offer letter from an LLC company on 29th November 2021 asking me to be there on 30th December 2021. I'm from Cameroon, they asked me to pay for my visa, work permit, and other fees by a specific company only which they will reimburse.
No interview was made and the mail doesn't tell me from where they took my CV; it says:
The Board of Directors of (Company) accepted and offered you an Offer of Employment to join our Company because your experience and qualifications were found successful and satisfactory. Typically the mode of your selection was based on CV Screening of information on employment datasheet/profile and work experiences once your application is screened and shortlisted (the selection stage may differ from position to position and location of employee). In this case, there is no need for further interviews.
Help me with this, please!
Thanks!

عزيزي،
من فضلك لا تدفع لأن هذا الوضع يبدو غير صحيحًا كما أنه مخالف لقانون دولة الإمارات.
لا يحق للشركة ولا ينبغي لها أن تطلب من أي موظف جديد دفع تكاليف التأشيرة أو أي رسوم أخرى نيابةً عنها. هذا تصرف غير قانوني ويبدو الأمر كأنه عملية احتيال.
يرجى إجراء المزيد من البحث حول الشركة ولكن من فضلك لا تدفع التكاليف التي من المفترض أن يدفعها صاحب العمل.
تحياتي،
