How to make sure if a job offer is valid and not a scam?
The employer had sent me an offer letter and now asking me to contact the visa agency and pay all my visa fees and everything.
It's from a very big oil and gas firm and I am not sure how is it possible that a billion $ company can ask employees to do this experience.
Kindly guide me, is it possible and legal to do this as per the UAE law, or this is fraud and cheating?

Dear user,
Beware of scam offers from fake employers. No company will make their employees pay visa fees or work permit fees.
Furthermore, Such fees are the responsibility of the employer, and doing otherwise is illegal and against the UAE Labor Law.
In such a case, you may report the issue to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
