Hello guys,
A travel agent invited me to apply for a 2 years working visa in Azerbaijan and the way the offer appears, they pay $12 per hour to work for 8 hours only.
He assured me that there's a lot of job opportunities currently in the country.
Please I need people who can tell me if this is real before I spend any dime.
Thanks

Gurus come in pls

How true is the package .....please let us know

People are coming to call me a hater. But I'll tell you the truth. If you listen to the agent, you're going to get stranded.

Azerbaijan doesn't pay per hour. Just like some countries in Europe, they pay per month. The minimum wage is 130 AZN or 76 USD or 62 Euro PER MONTH, While the average wage for skilled work is 450 AZN or 213 Euro or 265 USD PER MONTH. You will have to search for unskilled work as your chances of getting even that skilled job is very slim. Not only do you not speak the language, you have a big hurdle in getting your Nigerian qualifications recognized.


Even bigger countries like Germany, Italy, Turkey, Czech, Hungary, Spain etc don't pay up to 12 USD for most UNSKILLED jobs not to talk of Azerbaijan. If that was true, I would have moved to Azerbaijan myself.

And lastly, please do not go there and search for a job. If he said there are multiple available positions, let him get one for you before you leave the country.

Thanks brother!
But what he is saying is that they will be the ones to search for the job.

He asked me to pay N750,000 in total but pay N150,000 first and the balance after the visa is out.

My friends in Germany and Estonia are saying same thing with you.

My brother, If I would advice you. Don't take it. Agent doesn't care about you, he is only bothered about making his money off you and leave you to your struggles.

Besides if you really want to go there, I don't understand why you have to use an agent as I have never used one myself. Go to the embassy and apply yourself. It will save you more than 90% of what he is telling you to pay.

It's your choice anyway. You can choose to follow his words but please verify any employment contract he may bring up to you (If you see anything like 'per hour', know it's a scam) and do not accept a tourist/business visa. Azerbaijan no longer allow conversion of other visas to work visa.


Bon chance.

Thanks a lot @Mille
Much appreciated.
