Benin. Quoted from your job offer "Employees (Expatriates) are to note that 1month upfront salaries are paid as soon as Employees Procure and Process the relevant Resident/ Work Permit Documents from the Benin Immigration Services and submit same to the company for Verification."
Think about this a minute. When you are hired by a company they pay you. Is that not correct? In this situation you have to pay them. If they wanted your services would they not pay for the necessary work permits? Turn around and run before you lose. |
