Friend, for visa original passport is not required you should only give copy of it, because it only use to collect the infromation of you is NAME,DATE of BIRTH,Date of passport issue and place, Secondly never pay any money to manpower consultant if they offical agency they paid by company, moreover ask them to deduct the charges from you first salary, if they say it is not possible then they are not offical manpower consultant. GOOD LUCK
