The precautions when working as a freelancer while being under 18 years old
Respected sir,
I am a student and I am 17 years old. Recently I found out that I can make some money by sitting at home and doing online surveys. I need that money so that I do not bother my parents with my small needs and also will, in turn, help them to save money.
My question is that: is it legal and safe to do these online surveys?
On the website, it is mentioned that if I am above 13, I can do these surveys.
Please guide me!
Yours Respectfully,
Dear client,
If you are a resident in the UAE, you should know that it is not allowed to work properly as an employee until you become over 18 years.
However, it seems that you want to work as a freelancer and in this case, if the website officially accepts to contract with you, then you may do it provided that such surveys will not violate the laws and morals.
You should be aware that in case such surveys relate to certain Red Lines that will cause damages to society, government, morals, the security of the state, then you will be in huge problems.
