Anti-Fraud Protection — Know the Red Flags
Before you engage any recruiter or lawyer for Montenegro work, verify these signals. The ILO Employer Pays principle means a legitimate operation will never ask you to pay placement fees upfront.
If you've been defrauded, contact us, your country's embassy in Podgorica, the Montenegro Labour Inspectorate, or IOM Montenegro.
