Safety

Most employers on Lakity are honest. But the nightlife industry has its scammers and recruiters too — these simple rules help you spot them.

Signs of a dangerous job offer

They ask for money up front: for training, paperwork, tickets, a “place in the database” or a photo shoot. An honest employer earns from your work, not from you.
They promise pay far above similar jobs but won’t explain what exactly it is for.
They won’t name the venue, city or address and dodge direct questions about the terms.
They offer to pay for your move “on credit” that you then have to work off.
They ask you to hand over your passport “for safekeeping” or for paperwork.
They rush you: “decide today”, “the flight is tomorrow”, “don’t tell anyone”.

Look the venue up yourself: website, reviews, photos, maps. Ask for a video call with a manager from inside the venue.
Get a contract or written terms in a language you understand: duties, schedule, pay, who pays for housing and tickets.
Find out which visa this job needs. A tourist visa usually does not allow you to work.
Leave your family the address, the employer’s contacts and copies of your documents, and agree on regular check-ins.
Save your embassy’s number and the local emergency number.

Only its owner keeps a passport. Taking someone’s documents is a crime in almost every country.
A debt for tickets or housing gives no employer the right to hold you or stop you from leaving.
If you or someone near you is in danger, call the police. If there is no immediate danger, contact a helpline: they help for free and in confidence.
