The Indian Consulate in Dubai has cautioned job-seekers from India not to travel to the UAE on visit visas. Indian consul general Vipul said that the diplomatic mission has been getting calls from those on visit visas to the UAE being duped by fraudulent agents. Those seeking jobs in the UAE should not come on visit visa and their employment offers must be authenticated along with their entry permit visas before embarking to the UAE. He said the diplomatic mission had to react after a large number of calls and visits to the mission by Indian workers who have been cheated by agents and employers. Workers under the Emigration Clearance Required (ECR) are safe to travel if they come under the e-Migrate online recruitment system of the Government of India. Diplomatic sources said from January to June 2017 there were 792 job inquiries to the mission of which only 66 of them were genuine. TheJob seekers can contact IWRC at help@iwrcuae.in to find out if their visas and job offers are genuine.
