Did I get cheated when I applied for a work permit in Macau?

False, only the Macao government can apply for a work permit. In our country, there are several official labor agencies under the government responsible for applying. Mainland residents who want to work in Macao can go to these labor agencies to apply for jobs. Generally, when there are vacancies in companies or hotels that need mainland workers in Macao, they will release information through these intermediaries.

And there is nothing, just pay 5000 first, it must be a scam. Even for a formal intermediary, you only need to pay a registration fee of around 10 yuan at most. If you meet the requirements, you will be interviewed first, then screened by the intermediary, and then screened by the employer or the hotel. Only those who are finally hired need to sign an agreement with the labor agency and pay thousands of dollars. You can choose to pay in one lump sum or deduct it from your salary every month. After you are hired, your employer or hotel will help you apply for a work permit from the Macao government (there are also many cases where you are hired and your work permit cannot be obtained). This is probably the process. Where can I get a work permit before looking for a job? ! ! ! ! ! !

So I'm sorry to tell you that you must have been cheated. Call the police at once.
