Offer by a company and request to pay visa expenses to travel agency
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I'm a resident of Singapore holding an Indian passport and just a job offer from a company called [--------] in Dubai. In the offer, they've mentioned:
"Newly recruited foreign expatriate employees to join our team are bound to process & obtain 3-year valid U.A.E Residence Visa & Work Permit before joining with our work team on the resumption date. U.A.E Residence Visa and Work Permit are valid only for 3 years (renewable) for employees in Free Zone.
Any Employee who accepts this offer shall contact this Logistics Agency [--------] travel agency & pay all expenses for processing, procurement & acquisition of their UAE Residence Visa & work permit's clearance papers from Ministry of Interior. The employer shall reimburse all expenses upon employee arrival in the UAE."
Is it ok if I pay all the expenses for the UAE Residence Visa/Work permits?
I thought normally Dubai firm shall bear visa expenses.
Thanks
All expenses are borne by the employer who appoints you. Here in the UAE, an employee is not bound to pay any cost for residence visa and work permit.
Before you pay anything, just be confirmed and be sure you that this is not any fake job.
Dear Questioner,
All visa and residency permit expenses are the responsibility of the employer in the UAE.
Hello.
First of all, visa expenses to be covered by the employee.
Second, the residence visa can not be processed by a travel agency, while the person to be employed with another company!
This is most probably a scam.
