Hi All,

booking.com sent me job offer this week, as they want Arabic speakers, the problem is they asked me to must get work permit as they don't provide it.
i have searched the web of how to get it and i found may sites asking for just money to provide it, also fake sites.
i need some one to guide me what is the easiest way to get the work permit , i can pay money no problem but i dont want any one to stole my money for nothing.

I question the validity of the offer. Have you confirmed it's genuine. Is it a Customer Service Executive position? And I don't think you will be able to obtain a visa for that.

How did they contact you? Be aware there is plenty of scams out there, particularly those related to employment in the UK.

They contacted me from their official mail, but I still need to know the steps to get the work permit

Hello Alhawary,
To get a work visa you must have a sponsor. Only your employer can sponsor you. If they are not prepared to do that, then it is impossible to get the visa. If anyone else says they can get a visa for you, they are a crook.
Is the job advertised on their website under vacancies? Unexpected job offers are usually fake.
Regards, Bob

Bookin.com, a 100% legitimate company, has been targeted by scammers several times.
Ask these questions?

Did the offer come from an application made by you, or just from a random email?
Does the email you have for them exactly match the email address on the official website?
Have they asked you for any cash?

Booking.com is a very serious site.

In fact, they want that you have already a work permit because they don't get you one. It's enough frequent, even with big companies.

So, you must already live in Europe with a long stay visa or being a EU citizen. If not, you can't work, sorry...

I know, it's stupid, but it's like that... There is nothing to do...
