Foreigner Rights Checker

What Basic Rights Do Most Foreigners Have?

Laws are different in every country, but in many places foreign workers, students and travellers are protected by basic labour and human rights standards. Even if your visa status is complicated, you usually still have some basic protections around safety, dignity and pay.

• The right to be free from violence, abuse and severe exploitation.
• The right to get paid for work you have already done, according to your agreement or minimum wage rules.
• The right to keep your own passport and identity documents, or to access them when needed.
• The right to basic rest, safe working conditions and medical care when you are sick or injured.
• The right to seek help from your embassy, legal aid groups or recognised NGOs.

How the Foreigner Rights Checker Works

This tool does not read your contract or check any government database. Instead, it looks at typical patterns that appear in many abusive situations and gives you a simple risk signal:

• Green / Low risk: No major red flags selected. Still, stay informed and keep copies of your documents.
• Yellow / Medium risk: Some worrying signs that could become serious if they continue.
• Red / High risk: Multiple red flags that often appear in forced labour or trafficking situations.

After the risk assessment, the tool gives you search links you can use to find local organisations, hotlines, embassy contacts and updated information in your country.
