NotesBeware of emailed job offers for childcare and other similar positions in the UK. These are all frauds.

• Since November 2008, no visas are granted for household workers from outside Europe. Work visas are only granted for highly-skilled positions, most of which require university degrees.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK requires you to pay them any money. All fees would be paid by the employer.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a free email address from Yahoo, Gmail, or similar services.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a telephone number that begins with +4470 (070). These are non-geographic numbers available to anyone in the world.

• No legitimate business requests payment via Western Union.

Dear sir/madam,
I got the job offer letter for the position of personal assistance of the CEO of Embawood Interior company via email. The CEO sent me the official agreement letter and acceptance letter. I have a doubt whether it is original or fake. Because they didn't conduct any interview process. After sending CV they simply sent the above mentioned letters. I humbly request you to enquire about the company and provide me your valuable feedback. Looking forward for your reply.

UK Job Offer from hr@tatnefteurope.com
​​​​​​​NAME OF APPLICANT: VIMALENDU PRAKASH CHATURVEDI
APPLICATION NUMBER: UK044295EXP16 (USE THIS AS SUBJECT WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR REQUIREMENTS)
PLEASE OPEN ATTACHMENT TO DOWNLOAD APPLICATION FORM, AND READ CAREFULLY.

Due to the urgency of this application as noted by your employer, i urge your total commitment. Find below the outlined steps required to enable you obtain your UK Work Permit Visa.

Step 1. [Summary of Applicant Requirements]

**Kindly send the below listed to us by email;
Completed UK Work Permit Application Form *attached
Signed job contract
Scanned copy of a valid travel document/passport bio-page [Page(s) with the passport expiration date]. Note: You'll need to have a blank page in your passport on which to put the visa.
One passport sized colour photograph. This must not be more than 6 months old.
State if you plan to relocate with any person(s)
**Family Members and Dependants:
Your family members ('and dependants') can come with you when you come to the UK on this visa. Your family members must have a visa. Below is a list of additional documents required;

For your spouse the additional required documents are:
Marriage or civil partnership certificate:
Passport valid for at least 6 month from application date.
For each child:
Full birth certificate showing both parents names
Passport valid for at least 6 month from application date
For other persons who may qualify as dependants, please contact me.

**Additional Fees:
All dependants will be charged an additional £65 each for their visa application and appointment.

Step 2. [Form completion and submission]
After we have received the above documents, your application will be submitted to the government for approval. Once you have submitted all the requirements to us, you should receive a decision on your visa within 48hours. You may be able to get the approval faster depending on how much work the government office in charge has during the time of submission.

Step 3. [Employment Registration]
On approval of your application, the government agency will state the applicable fee for your employment registration. You must be registered by the United Kingdom Employment board for an Employment number before you can begin work with your company and also before your work permit is issued. You are expected to make this payment yourself. Since the legislation preventing multinationals hiring foreigners from making payments or having ANY financial relationship with newly employed was made by the U.K Government, so company policies changed. The company cannot make this payment on your behalf, but will reimburse you after your work permit is issued.

Step 4. [Eligibility]
You must submit all of the above requirement be eligible for the Work Permit. Additionally, you must prove that you can support yourself and anyone you will be relocating with to the United Kingdom. Afterwards, an appointment letter and your work permit will be mailed to your postal address.

Step 5. [Embassy appointment]
Your appointment letter will detail which documents to take along with you to the embassy where your passport will be stamped, and you'll need to have your fingerprints and photograph (known as 'biometric information') taken at a visa application centre as part of your application. Your stamped passport will be returned the same day or as will be advised by the embassy staff.

Step 6. [Flight, Relocation Allowance, Apartment]
Relocation Allowance: After work permit and visa(s) have been issued, the company will request for your banking details to transfer your relocation allowance and reimbursement for the amount spent during the application process.
Flight: The company will cover the flight costs for you and persons you will be relocating with. We will arrange flight tickets when the visa(s) have been stamped.
Housing: Location of your new apartment and servicing details will be forwarded to you via email. This will also include pictures and a video of the apartment.
Pick up: On arrival to the United Kingdom, a member of our staff will be at the airport to pick you up to your new apartment. The apartment keys will be handed over to you.

NOTE:

Cancellation of your application
1. You fill false information in the form
2. You submit incomplete requirements
How long the entire process will take: Due to the urgency of this application, we hope to complete the entire process within 2-3 weeks.
How long you can stay: This visa will permit you to live and work in the United Kingdom for a maximum of 5 years and 14 days. You can apply to extend this visa for up to another 5 years at expiration."
Education for your children: On this visa your child(ren) are entitled to the same free education provided by the government as British children.
Health care: On this visa, your family/dependants will be eligible to free health care provided by the National Health Service. The company however provides you will a private healthcare coverage.
Work: As a work permit holder, your spouse and some dependants are entitled to take up any lawful employment.
