Applying from abroad or for a visa-sponsored job? Confirm the offer directly with the employer or institution on their own website. Real sponsors never ask you to pay a "visa fee", "processing fee" or agent fee to get an offer. Check visa rules on the destination country's official immigration website, and be wary of anyone who guarantees a visa.
Stay safe. Always confirm the details with the organisation. Legitimate employers, buyers and funders never charge application fees. Found an error or an expired listing? Tell us.
