Practice question: Entities Prohibited from Overseas Recruitment

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A travel-agency corporation creates a separate recruitment company. Its existing directors will also sit on the new recruiter's board, although the companies will keep separate accounts and charge no placement fees. The directors claim corporate separation cures their eligibility problem. Which is correct?
  1. Separate accounts automatically cure individual disqualifications.
  2. The rule disqualifies only the original travel company, never its directors.
  3. The directors' covered travel-agency roles remain disqualifying despite the new corporate vehicle.
  4. Charging no fees creates a general exception.
  5. The arrangement becomes lawful if the workers buy their own tickets.
