What are the dangers of obtaining a visa through informal sponsorship?
Obtaining an employment visa through informal channels, such as through acquaintances / friends is risky. When you’re sponsored by someone else, especially under an employment visa, you are legally bound to their sponsorship. This means that if any disputes arise, they fall under the jurisdiction of the labor court, which can complicate matters for you. If your sponsor has control over your visa and legal status, they also hold influence over your residency, employment rights, and even your ability to freely leave your job.
With the Web3 Founder Golden Visa, you are in full control of your residency, avoiding any legal entanglements related to sponsorship.
