Musafir Workby Musafir Tara

Before you pay or sign

Is this offer ready to accept?

Answer what you can. Anything unclear becomes a point to raise with the employer or recruiter, in writing, before you pay or travel.

Do you have the offer in writing, in a language you understand?
Does it state your pay, how often you are paid, and every deduction?
Does it state working hours, rest days and overtime pay?
Do you know the employer's legal name and where you will work?
Has anyone asked you to pay a fee to get the job?
Has anyone said they will keep your passport or ID?
Are you being pushed to decide or pay quickly?
Do you know which visa or permit you will travel on?
Do you know who pays for travel, housing and the journey home?
Have you checked the recruiter or employer through an official source?
Does someone at home have copies of your contract and documents?

To settle first

    A planning aid, not legal advice. It cannot confirm that an offer is genuine or lawful.

    Not legal or immigration advice. These tools turn what you type into questions and sums. They cannot confirm that a job is genuine or that you may work somewhere. Musafir Work is not a recruiter and lists no jobs.

    Good to know

    • Get it in writing: pay, hours, deductions, housing and who pays for travel. A promise made on the phone is hard to rely on later.
    • Verify before you pay. Look up the employer and the recruiter yourself through an official register, your embassy or a labour office. Do not rely on links or phone numbers they send you.
    • Beware of scams. A fee to get a job, a demand to hand over your passport, or pressure to decide quickly are serious warning signs.
    • This list cannot tell you that a job is safe. Only the employer and the official authority can confirm that an offer is genuine and that you may work there.
