For clarification

I received an offer letter from Al Zain Specialist Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey after I applied to the Hospital.
In this regard, one agency supports me to facilitate the document Foreigner/Expatriate Workers Certificate (FWC).
The agencies requested me to send 1,790 USD for the process (Application fee of USD 1,690, Courier fee of USD 100, Total amount: USD 1,790).
Is it feasible and real to send this amount to the agency? I need clarification in case you help me in this regard.

@siszenebe Never send any money. It is a SCAM!!

Never send any money to any Human Resources Agency.

My CPA told me that many scammers use this method. He told me that Residence Permit is not hard to get in Turkey but Work Permit is hard. So that he always warns his clients; " PLEASE DO NOT TRUST FAKE AGENCIES WHICH SAY WE WANT TO HIRE YOU BUT FIRST SEND US BLA BLA AMOUNT."

Before any step, it is better to talk your legal advisor or CPA or your native citizen Turkish friend.

I think this expat thing has got scammers, because applied for a job via this forum . A guy called me in name of a boss ,   since I stay in turkey and the job is in UK , the guy asked me to pay 400pounds for registration (expat eu pair) before they process my documents, when I told him to process everything then bill me when I reach in the country .he never texted or emailed me again .so stay warned with your money.thanks

Hey everyone,

PLEASE be aware of scammers posing as Human Resources Agency!!

My CPA always say that getting Work Permit is not easy in Turkey.

Obtaining Residence Permit is not hard, My CPA can get you.(It is better to ask him about details)

But he always says Work Permit is hard to get. And he always warns his clients " PLEASE NEVER TRUST HUMAN RESOURCES AGENCIES OR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE YOUR BUSINESS PARTNERS"

A prospective employer should pay, not you. If they want you, they have to pay. Even for interviews I asked my  prospect to pay for hotel and flight.

Paying for get a job, VERY, VERY suspicious.
