This short checklist summarizes the key checks to make before accepting an overseas job offer described as a free visa offer. A free visa offer does not necessarily mean every cost is covered, so ask for the details in writing.
- Confirm who the employer is, where the company is located, and the exact job title.
- Confirm the salary, working hours, contract duration, and whether accommodation is included.
- Ask for a written breakdown of who pays for the visa or work permit, medical checks, document attestation, and the air ticket.
- Read the written employment contract before accepting, and check that it matches the advertised salary and benefits.
- Do not pay a large upfront amount only because a visa is promised, and verify the employer, recruiter, and official process independently.
- Check the official immigration rules of the destination country, and keep copies of important documents.
Use this checklist as a quick verification step. A genuine offer should be clear, written, and verifiable before any payment or travel decision is made.
