⌛ Its just a concern for us

Hi i have a concern about JOB IN ABROAD.I am applying job online and I have sent my resume recently.A person who received my resume and application letter contacted me and told me that she wants me to send money for my visa processing.She says that the employer will gonna pay half of visa expences.She says if i do'nt send money the employer wo'nt get visa for me.Have you experience this too?For those who are applying job online.

 

sounds like a scam

Why are they asking money for visa application? Have they interviewed you? Have they told you will get the job? Until you're certain you got the job, and a contract has been presented to you & signed by both the employer and you, I wouldn't sent them a penny. In most cases, you'll need to have a legitimate working contract BEFORE any country would grant you a (working) visa.

 

Employment scams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Illegal recruiting has been running rampant in the Philippines the last two years. If they are asking for money, chances are it is NOT legit!

Hello christ

i am working abroad and i never experienced any kind of money transaction because the employer wants to apply visa for you. This is a no! no! Even from my brother who is directly hired from the company. The company has to cover the expenses for your visa when you want to work abroad. Okay! Please be careful on taking jobs online. If you want you can apply thru agencies. Please check poea website for registered agency and also jobs are there. Ok! I hope this might help.

 

Check also jobsdb or jobstreet online. These website are legitimate in the phils. So better try..... And goo luck.

 

If they're asking you money for visa application, it's a scam for sure.
Here are some tips:


Legit companies usually use company emails. not the free one (@ymail.com, @yahoo.com, @gmail.com)

Check the company's website if it really exist.

 

Have a look at the website of POEA (Philippine Oversees Employment Administration):
Philippine Overseas Employment Administration

 

Yes she told me that i passed the interviewed but she wanted me to send money.She said that the employer will refund me when i start working.She says that the employer will not get visa for me if i do'nt send half of the expences for my visa

 

well, if all given answers and links are not enough, I would highly recommend to send money. I am sure you make some people happy with that.
