I applied in NASC last December 30, 2019 for a particular position going ro Czech Republic. As they promised me that there are several positions available that companies are hiring for. And I choose the chocolate factory worker position for that matter. Not only me, actually some of my friends have already applied as well ahead of me. Then after that, I trusted them and believed all their explainations telling me that the processing time for the application is 4 months from the day or month that I applied. So within 4 months we can have our working permit and job order. Then they told me that the total amount for the payment of application/the processing fee is 14000 aed. Since I trusted them and believed in them (which I regreted lately and realize I should have not paid right away) I paid 2000aed +vat as an initial payment for my application just to submit my application to the employer because as they said I got the last slot for the position. I have the receipt and gave me like agreement letter thingy. But before they gave me the agreement, I paid already the amount. It is written there, that the balance amount like 5000aed should be paid on January 21st, 2020. Then I agreed because that time, I still believed in them. But then situation came. Just the time that I am about to pay for the remaining application fee of 5000, my friends told me that their working permit and job order/offer still not on their hands yet as what the agency promised. To think my friends already paid half of the amount 6000aed for the application/processing payment. Then I realize is it really legal? Is the agency or consultancy firm is really legal to process the application going to Czech, or just a fraud just what I have read lately. My mistake was, I did research 1st before I go through the application. And now they look after my remaining application fee balance and force me to pay a 12000aed. They even dis abled my portal which is an access of my application, or maybe that portal was only a decoy. They sent me in my email a copy of threatening legal case for me once I will not pay for my remaining balance. Please I need your advices what will I do. Where can I check in UAE the legality of the agency or consultancy. Your advices will so much appreciated. Thank you.

Same situation here, we are actually two people. We initially pay january 30, 2020 amount of 3, 000 aed each. They have much encouragement thats why we paid. Then we decide to refund just after 2 days. But then they cannot give clear answer on our questions regarding refund. I have read so many times their contract that there is a refund policy but it should be 30days after you initially pay. Time goes by, I always make calls and write to them but as 30 days was about to come . I had a call telling me no refund. Thats [censored]!. I know what I have read. Now, like what ive said we are two. The other had a call and email that he needs to attend a court. Of course they will file a complaint that he needs to pay the remaining balance. It will be on april 21. So lets see what will happen.
