Safer overseas recruitment and visa enquiries

Verify the people involved

A job offer, recruitment service and immigration advice are different services. Check the employer independently and confirm that a relevant sponsor licence exists where sponsorship is required. Verify any professional or regulatory claims using the appropriate official register. Do not rely solely on a logo, a WhatsApp profile or a statement that a visa is guaranteed.

Understand payments before making them

Ask what each payment is for, who receives it, what the written terms say and what happens if the job or application does not proceed. Government charges and professional fees should be distinguishable. Be cautious about requests to buy a certificate of sponsorship or pay for a guaranteed job. A genuine sponsorship record does not itself grant a visa or remove the application requirements.

Protect your identity and documents

Start an enquiry with a brief description of the route and your question. Do not send passwords, security codes, payment-card details or an entire identity file through an unsolicited chat. Use independent contact details to check an unexpected request. Immigration Advice LTD’s initial WhatsApp flow is for enquiries; it does not accept payments, advertise job vacancies or promise sponsorship through this website.

Turn information into a practical next step

Write down the point you need to resolve, the route you are considering and any date that affects your next action. Keep this summary separate from your full document file. A short initial enquiry can establish what support is appropriate before you share more detailed records.

For individual circumstances, confirm the scope and any fee before relying on professional advice. Prepare a consultation enquiry or browse the related routes below.
