I have been offered work for AGIP 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. Which I did already
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 as well.
Is this normal as I have worked Overseas in KSA and Company usually provides this
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Any time you are asked to bring bribe for a job, it's usually a scam.

Any job that requires you pay to gain employment is a scam.

Simply go to agip website and send an enquiry email or call a number up there but it stinks of scam though 99%, take care and do not let your hard earned money out like that.
