If you receive a job offer to work in the United Arab Emirates, it is essential to ensure that the offer is genuine and officially recognized. To avoid fake job offers and visa fraud, there are several important steps you should follow.
Verification through the UAE Ministry of Human Resources
You can verify your job offer through the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE). All legitimate job offers must be issued by the Ministry, and they include a unique serial number or barcode that you can use to confirm their authenticity.
Online Verification Process
You can verify your job offer by visiting the official website of MOHRE at www.mohre.gov.ae. Go to the “Services” section, select “New Inquiry Services” and then click on the “Verify Job Offer” option. You will be required to enter details like the transaction number, company number, and type of permit.
In Case of a Fake Offer
If the offer is not found in the Ministry’s system, it could be a fraudulent offer, or the employer may not have registered it properly. In such cases, you should ask the employer for additional information.
Verifying the Legality of the Company
To verify if the company is legally licensed and operating in the UAE, you can check through the National Economic Registry (NER) at www.growth.gov.ae. You will be able to find detailed information about the company’s licensing and legal status.
Employment Visa Verification
Once the offer letter is signed, the employer will issue you an employment visa to enter the UAE. You can verify the authenticity of this visa and ensure that your employment contract matches the terms of the signed job offer.
