How to recognise a job or visa scam
Fraudulent overseas job offers are common. Be very cautious if anyone:
- Promises a guaranteed job or visa in exchange for money
- Offers a job without an interview or skills check
- Asks for payment in cash or to a personal account
- Uses free email addresses rather than company domains
- Pressures you to pay or decide immediately
- Asks you to hide information or use false documents
Unsure about an offer? Speak to us before you pay anyone.

Career questions
Which country is easiest for a work permit from Bangladesh?

Talk to an adviser about your goals. You will leave the conversation with a clear picture of your options, the realistic next steps and what each decision involves.
Some countries only allow licensed or registered professionals to give immigration advice or represent applicants (for example, Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants, registered migration agents in Australia, OISC-regulated advisers in the UK, or U.S. immigration attorneys). Where this applies, we tell you clearly and refer you to an appropriately authorised professional.

Decisions on admissions, scholarships, visas and immigration are made solely by universities, funding bodies, embassies and government authorities, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
