The most important rule
Do not pay any large amount before independently verifying the job, employer, visa and payment terms. An agency licence alone does not prove its Germany job offer is genuine.

3. Stop paying if you see these signs
Warning signs
- “100% visa guarantee” or “there are never any rejections”.
- Keeping the employer's name secret.
- Pressure to pay quickly without time to verify.
- Talking only on WhatsApp with no written contract.
- Asking you to start working on a visit/tourist visa.
- Repeatedly asking for more money without proof of approval or refund.
- Selling a “German work visa” without language or recognition.
- “The Opportunity Card guarantees a job” — it only allows job-searching (up to 1 year) and needs a recognised qualification or points plus proof of about €1,091 a month (2026) to live on.
4. A message you can send the broker
Copy into WhatsApp or SMS
Before starting the Germany work permit process, I would like to confirm a few things: 1. What is the Germany employer's company name, address and registration number? 2. Can I verify the job offer and the signed contract? 3. Through which process will the Skilled worker visa (§18a/18b) or Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) be applied for? 4. Will you give me the official application number or online proof I can verify? 5. What is the total cost, the step-by-step payment, and the refund terms if the visa fails? 6. Can you give references of workers from Bangladesh who went to Germany successfully through you? I will decide on payment only after verifying all information and the contract.
