Safety Tips

Searching for a Gulf job is exciting, but it comes with risks — especially scams targeting job seekers. Follow these tips to protect yourself, your money, and your personal information.

Golden rule: never pay money to apply for a job.

Legitimate employers do not charge applicants any fees — not for visas, not for training, not for "reservations."

Common Warning Signs

• Asking for payment for application processing, visa, or medical screening.
• Salary that is unusually high for the role and market.
• Job offer without an interview, or after only a brief chat by message.
• Requests for bank details or a passport copy before a formal contract.
• Contact from generic email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo) on behalf of large companies.
• Pressure for a fast decision ("limited spot", "don't tell anyone").
• Frequent spelling and grammar errors in the listing or recruiter messages.

Before You Apply

• Search the company name online — verify there is a real official website and presence.
• Check the email domain — it should match the company's official domain.
• Read the full listing and compare the salary level to similar roles.

During the Interview

• Ask specific questions about the role, the team, and the office.
• Request to review the contract before signing — never sign what you don't understand.
• Verify visa and residency details under the country's laws.
