Checking Agent Credentials

It is important to ensure that the agent you have chosen is reliable and authorized. Consider the following points:

• Is the Agent Licensed by SLBFE?
• Make sure that the agent you are dealing with is licensed by the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE). This ensures their legitimacy and adherence to regulations.
• Validity of the License
• Check if the agent’s license is valid at the time of your recruitment. An expired license may indicate potential issues or illegal practices.
• Obtaining Necessary Approvals
• Confirm whether the agent has obtained the necessary approvals from the SLBFE. This ensures that they have met the required standards and procedures.
• Validity of First Approval
• Ensure that the agent’s first approval, granted by the SLBFE, is valid until the time of your recruitment. This verifies that your job placement is authorized and legitimate.
• Handing Over Documents

If the above conditions are fulfilled, you can proceed with submitting your passport and other required documents as instructed by the agent. Here are some additional details:

• Validity of Passport
• Your passport should be valid for a minimum of two years from the intended date of registration. This ensures that you meet the passport validity requirements for employment abroad.
• Registration Fee
• You will need to pay a registration fee specified by the SLBFE. This fee is separate from any administration costs charged by the agent. Make sure to clarify the amount and payment method with the agent.

By considering these factors and following the necessary steps, you can ensure a smoother process when seeking employment through an agent.
