How Skylite Visa helps
Official route only
This visa is applied for by the employer. We never sell jobs, “work permits” or quota places. We explain the official route, check offers for warning signs, and help with visa paperwork once you hold a genuine offer.

We don’t sell jobs, “work permits” or quota places — and nobody legitimately can.
A real work visa starts with a real employer. If you are recruited for work abroad, check the recruiter is licensed where you live. Be wary of anyone asking for large payments for a visa “guarantee”, a quota place, or turning a visit visa into a work visa.
