Safe Migration Hub
Red-flag scanner, contract review and emergency guidance. You deserve a safe migration.
Your rights, in plain English
You should never pay a recruiter or employer to be hired. Your passport stays with you, always. Your salary should reach your bank account in full. If anything below sounds familiar, raise it with your MyIGP advisor immediately — or use the emergency contacts on this page.

Charging candidates for jobs is illegal in most destination countries. Walk away.

Always require a written contract reviewed against UK / destination employment law.
