How to avoid Europe job scams
Fake European work permits are one of the most common recruitment scams targeting South Asian workers today. Use this checklist before you pay anyone, including us.
Warning signs
- No employer name, or a job offer you cannot verify
- A guaranteed visa or 100% visa promise; no agent can guarantee an embassy decision
- Pressure to pay the full amount upfront, in cash, or into a personal bank account
- Asked to travel on a tourist or visit visa and get the work permit there
- No written agreement, or no registered office you can visit
- Work permit documents sent only as screenshots on WhatsApp
What a genuine process looks like
- A named employer and a written employment contract
- Payments split into stages with an official receipt for each
- A work permit or approval you can check with the issuing authority
- A visa issued by the embassy before any flight is booked
- Overseas-employment registration in your home country before you depart
