Signed by the Employee: ……………….….………
My considerations are these: the figure that is offered to me is very high??!! The facilities are many, the kind of my work does not require a permanent Office!! Article 17 is very negative, why I need to anticipate spending money for visa and WORK PERMIT? I think a serious company anticipates its expenses and does not require to the employee to spend money and then claim a refund
