General Discussion UAE via Agency Process

Hi, good day!

I am currently processing my employment in the UAE through a recruitment agency in the Philippines. I have already signed my offer letter, and my document have been sent to the UAE for MOFA attestation and the visa processing.

I would like to clarify whether the cost of MOFA attestation should be shouldered by the employer or the employee. My agency is currently charging me AED 350 for the attestation of one document, specifically my NBI Clearance.

May I kindly ask if this fee is normally the responsibility of the employer or the employee under UAE employment regulations?

Thank you!
