⚖️ Statutory Service Charge & Fee-Cap Compliance Disclosure

WorkAbroad enforces a strict zero-exploitation policy in accordance with statutory guidelines issued by the Protector General of Emigrants (PGE), Ministry of External Affairs:

ECR Technical & Skilled Trade Categories (Gulf)

Statutory Maximum Cap: ₹30,000 INR (including GST)

Under official MEA guidelines, no registered recruiting agency may charge an Emigration Check Required (ECR) category worker more than the statutory cap of ₹30,000 INR. All visa issuance, work permit fees, and flight tickets must be borne by the accredited foreign employer.

Employer-Sponsored Skilled & Commercial Roles

Zero Cost to Candidate (Employer-Paid)

For direct corporate recruitment (engineering, IT, hospitality management, and commercial fleet drivers), our placement fees are paid directly by the overseas principal company. Candidates incur zero placement charges.

European Healthcare & Adaptation Programs (Germany / Austria)

Fully Subsidized Adaptation & Training

Candidates placed in German and Austrian hospital networks receive employer-funded Defizitbescheid adaptation training, B2 language sponsorship, and visa processing support without illegal placement markups.

⚠️
Important Anti-Fraud Warning: WorkAbroad never asks candidates to transfer money to personal bank accounts, UPI IDs, cryptocurrency wallets, or unauthorized intermediaries. All authorized fee transactions generate a digitally signed GST receipt bearing our corporate tax identifier.
