How to Verify a Permitra Request and Avoid Work Permit Fraud

Verify a Request. Prevent Fraud.

Work permit fraud is common worldwide, and scammers sometimes misuse the names of legitimate companies. This page explains exactly how to confirm that a request, invoice or job offer referencing Permitra is genuine — and what to do if it is not.

Official prices. Portal payments only.

Every price for our services is published on the Portal, and the total you are asked to pay is written into your Service Order before you sign it. That total is the full and final price of your order.

Some orders are arranged by an independent representative, who may add a fee of their own on top of our published price. Where they do, that fee is charged by us, through the Portal, and is stated in the composition of the total in your Service Order — so you can see exactly what you are paying and what it is for. It can never be collected from you separately.

• Nobody may ask you for any amount beyond the total stated in your Service Order.
• Nobody may take payment outside the Portal — not in cash, not to a personal account, not through a third party, in any country or currency.
• If anyone asks you for an extra payment, or for payment by any other route, do not pay. Report it to us at legal@mdhk.ltd →. Your report is confidential and will not affect your order.

We verify prices and payment routes on active orders and permanently remove any representative who breaks these rules.

The one rule that matters

Every genuine Permitra payment is an invoice inside app.permitra.io, tied to a numbered case, issued after you have e-signed a Master Services Agreement.

If any element is missing — no signed agreement, no case number, no invoice inside the platform — do not pay.

What Permitra never does

• We never ask for payment to a personal bank account or personal crypto wallet.
• We never request payment through WhatsApp, Telegram, or any messaging app. Messaging channels are for communication only; payment always happens inside the platform.
• We never sell or promise job offers. Permitra processes immigration paperwork for employment that already exists. Anyone charging you for a "guaranteed job + visa package" under our name is not us.
• We never guarantee visa or permit approval. Approval decisions are made solely by government authorities. Any guarantee of approval — from anyone — is a red flag by itself.
• We never ask you to keep a payment confidential or to hurry "before the offer expires."

Red flags in work permit offers (any provider, not just us)

1. Upfront payment before any signed contract. Legitimate providers document the engagement first.
2. Payment to an individual. Company services are paid to company accounts against invoices.
3. Guaranteed approval or guaranteed jobs. No private company controls government decisions.
4. Pressure and urgency. "Pay today or lose the slot" is a manipulation pattern, not a process.
5. No verifiable legal entity. A real provider names its legal entity, registration number and jurisdiction, and those details check out in a public registry.
6. Communication only through messaging apps. No platform, no portal, no audit trail.

How to check a request in three steps

1. Check the entity. Our operator is Massive Dynamic Limited, Hong Kong Companies Registry no. 78076051. Verify at the Companies Registry Cyber Search Centre (icris.cr.gov.hk). Full details on the Trust Center →.
2. Check the platform. Log in at app.permitra.io. If the invoice or case is not visible in your account, it did not come from us.
3. Check with us directly. Forward any suspicious request to hello@permitra.io →. We confirm or deny authenticity, typically within one business day.

If you suspect fraud

• Do not pay, and stop sharing documents.
• Report the account or number to the platform where you were contacted.
• If money was already sent, contact your bank or payment provider immediately, then report to your local police or cybercrime unit.
• Tell us at hello@permitra.io → — reports help us pursue impersonation and warn others.

Who pays whom, honestly

Two engagement models exist on Permitra, and they are contractually distinct:

• Business accounts: an employer or HR agency contracts with us and pays for permit coordination for its candidates. Candidates pay nothing.
• Individual accounts: a person moving abroad (with an existing employer sponsor or an eligible self-sponsored route) contracts with us directly and pays their own coordination fees under a signed Service Order with published milestones and a public Refund Policy.

What never happens: a candidate paying for a job offer, paying an unnamed intermediary, or paying outside the platform. If a "recruiter" tells you otherwise, the problem is the recruiter.
