Is it normal for a company to require an initial payment for visa and work permit?

Dear questioner,

There is no requirement for the employee to bear the visa or work permit costs. According to the law, it is the obligation of the employer to cover these expenses.

It is better to avoid such transactions in the name of a job because there are many similar fraud cases. Therefore, thoroughly check the background of the company.

This is not normal, as the employer should take responsibility for the invitation, visa, ticket, etc., if they offer employment to individuals outside of the UAE. Please be careful, as some people are scamming.

Hello,

I'm Sakina Dickenwala from MBC Legal.

No one can give you an accurate answer, as we do not know the company based in Fujairah.

You need to search for it online, use Google, verify their phone numbers, contact them, and confirm their emails, as what they say may or may not be true.

Dear Questioner,

You may not be charged fees for your recruitment to the Emirates unless you agree to it.
