I have been offered work on an offshore drilling rig in Nigeria. Employer has stated they will apply for my Expatriate Quota Approval Paper. In order to do so I must provide:
1) Proof of acceptance of employment. I have done this by signing and returning to them the "Employment Letter".
2) Copy of the photo page of my passport.
3) Expatriate Medical Insurance Policy coverage certificate (EMIP) which is only obtainable from Insurance companies in Nigeria. Employer is stating I have to pay for this, they will not pay which makes it sound like a scam to me.
Is the EMIP coverage certificate required for ex-pats to get the Expatriate Quota Approval Paper?
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
