Before establishing an employment relationship, the worker must receive a job offer from the employer, who must use the contract form approved by MOHRE and it should be identical to the job offer when requesting the issuance of the permit.

The job offer forms approved by the ministry carry a serial number (barcode), which makes it easy to verify their authenticity, especially through the call centre 600590000 or through the ministry’s website or via the smart application.
