Can I make a payment for a company that sent me an offer letter as visa expenses?
Hi there
I would like to ask. I got a job offer from this company Alsamira Construction & Petroleum LLC Company (https://alsamira.com).
They also sent me the JOB REFERENCE NUMBER. They want me to pay for the visa work permit but in the offer letter, it says that it's a free flight and visa.
EXPENSES: It is understood that the employee will incur expenses to get his/her valid UAE Residence/Work Permit while the Alsamira Construction & Petroleum LLC.
The company (Alsamira Group) shall make the required arrangements for the employee’s free flight ticket and visa and reimburse the employee for any other moving expenses after he/she presents an expense report and itemized account of expenditures, pursuant to Alsamira Construction & Petroleum LLC Company (Alsamira Group) and will be reimbursed not later than Five (5) working days after submission of the employee’s expenses, reports and receipts.
Can you please give me some advice on what to do?
Dear user,
Please note that according to the UAE Labour Law, the employer should bear the visa costs and not the employee.
Therefore, the offer may be fraudulent, we suggest you don't make any payments in such cases until you are 100% sure it is legit.
