Never pay for a visa sponsorship
Selling a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) or charging workers for a sponsored job is illegal in the UK, but many Nepalis have lost large amounts this way. Visa rules for care workers have also changed several times. Check the current rules on gov.uk, check the employer on the official register of licensed sponsors, and never pay an agent for a job offer.
