They also can’t easily quit since if you lose sponsorship you may have to return to your country of origin.

It’s not “confiscating passports” level but it’s definitely exploitative.

It happens in the UK too. For example a friend of mine was taken advantage of by the boss who was not hesitant at all to remind her that her existence in the country depended on his approval; so she had to do long hours with unreasonable tasks for little pay.
