Why applications on this route get refused
Work contract not endorsed by the Ministry of Employment
Without the work contract's endorsement ("visa") from the Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment, or an exemption attestation, the file doesn't meet the requirement for the worker case.
How to avoid it: Get your work contract endorsed by the Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment (or confirm you hold an exemption) before applying.
Missing employer company documents
Not providing your employer's bylaws and proof of their J.O.R.T. publication is a common reason a file is incomplete.
How to avoid it: Ask your employer for a copy of the company's bylaws and its official gazette publication before you submit your application.
