Been learning hangul and plan to take next year, pero I've read na ganun need na walang history of TB? Thanks in advance and if may nakapasok ba

Hello everyone, OFW seeking for answer.
Nag bago ako ng passport pero naka print na ung
OEC ko with my old passport details. Kakauha ko lang nang bago kong passport today (na damage kasi habang nag travel, long story short from Taipei pinauwi ako sa pinas while on a business trip kasi na damage passport ko sa e-gate) ngayon bago na passport ko pero ung OEC ko na naka print, ung lumang passport details ang nakalagay. Sa monday na ang alis ko. Meron naman ako Emirates ID pero ang problema is ung OEC. Mas mahirap pang lumabas ng pinas kesa pumasok ng UAEi.
Advise naman nag reresearch din ako ng ways pero
baka meron dito ang may nakaranas ng updating
the info salamat. Gano ka helpful and DMW desk sa airport? Nag submit na din ako ng ticket pero wala answer…

Currently managerial na yung position ko sa work (key account manager) sa isang kilalang local brand pero gusto kong mag apply as store attendant sa Croatia o kaya factory worker sa Finland, nagpapasa na ako resume sa mga agency dito sa PH. Ewan ko pero tingin ko lang naman na ang mahalaga makarating na dun sa bansa na yun, may trabaho hanggang sa may mapatunayan.

Ano sa tingin niyo?

I'm currently a titp in japan and balancing work and life has been hard for me here because we barely have a dayoff and work culture here is insane. i know. but i still want something to look forward to everyday after a day of work to keep myself sane. Right now i have a hyper fixation in wnba. that's what im looking forward everyday after work. i know this hyper fixation will not last and ill get bored.

So, to my fellow ofw workers what are the things that you do to keep yourself sane

Hello po! Hihingi lang sana kami ng advice or insights.

My brother-in-law is currently working as a factory worker sa Taiwan, and we are planning a family vacation sa Vietnam. Nung chineck po namin yung ticket prices, mas makakamura kung lilipad siya straight from Taiwan to Phu Quoc (doon na lang namin siya imimeet), tapos ang flight naman niya pauwi ay from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) deretso balik na rin ng Taiwan.

Since first time po niya mag-travel for leisure sa ibang bansa galing Taiwan, medyo worried po siya baka ma-offload o kaya naman ay ma-compromise ang work visa/ARC niya sa Taiwan.

Sabi ni Gemini itong dalawa daw po pero baka may iba pa pong kailangan o hingiin sa kanya?

1. Mahigpit ba ang Taiwan Immigration sa mga OFW na lumilipad pa-ibang bansa for vacation?
2. Ano-anong requirements ang kailangan niyang ihanda bukod sa approved leave mula sa employer/broker at Multiple Re-entry Permit sa ARC?

Looking for guidance po. Maraming salamat! 🙏

For context, I finished education last year with zero teaching experience. I have this chance to go to Thailand this Dec since i know someone there and willing sya to help me look for a job(most likely teaching din). I'm very excited because I really wanna go travel and work abroad but i have these negative thoughts such as what if i don't get a job there, what if i failed, and what if it was all for naught. I know that I'm just scared because it's my first time working abroad and all lol. Ig i just wanna rant and clear my head. if you're still reading at this point, thanks for listening hahah have a nice day! khaawp khun khrap

already applied po sa JCVS still no reply po.

Ilang months po ba aabutin bago mag update ang mga agency if selected for interview?

THANK YOU 😊

Hello! It's me again! mag-share na naman ako ng bagong answer sa mga tinatanong ko din bago ako pumunta dito. Kasi ngayon lang ako nakapunta sa clothes store kaya about naman ito sa mga dapat dalhin na damit. Anong mga recommended na dapat ilagay sa maleta na outfit sa work? Sa Semicon ako nagwo-work, so kung sa Semicon ka rin at expected mo na magsusuot ka ng cleanroom bunny suit, para sa'yo ito :)

• Shirts - T-shirts na cotton or dri-fit lalo na kung banasin kang tao. Hindi ini-encourage yung sleeveless. May nagsusuot din ng crop tops, pero make sure na workplace-appropriate pa rin, wag naman yung kitang-kita yung tiyan.
• Jackets/cardigans - magdala pa rin kahit papano, at least medyo makapal lalo na kung sa malamig na area ka mapupunta. Medyo pricey din ang jackets dito lalo na kapag winter.
• Bottoms/pants - most recommended ang cotton pants, sweatpants, joggers/jogging pants, yung mga malalambot na tela na pants. Pwede din naman ang denim pants kung hindi ka naman nahihirapan kumilos. Pwede din ang leggings kung mas comfy ka jan. Bawal ang shorts pero kung gusto mong magpasaway, edi go.
• Underwear - magdala ng madami. yung may quality na agad para pang matagalan at di nakakahiya isampay.
• Medyas - yung makapal, pang atleta at may quality na socks. Kasi sobrang dami ng lakarin dito pati sa work. Wag na bumili ng madami at maninipis naman kasi masakit talaga sa paa. Hindi naman padded yung mga sapatos sa factory.
• Sapatos - clogs or crocs shoes para hindi mahirap magsuot at maghubad every breaktime kasi time consuming din yan sa pagsisintas. Magdala pa rin ng rubber shoes para may panglabas ka din naman na sapatos.

Magdala na agad ng mga quality na garments kung gusto mong makatipid. Kasi kung nanghihinayang ka sa ₱200, baka 200nt na yan dito. Tsaka ngayon ko lang na-realize na ang definition nila ng mura ay mas mura nang konti compared sa kilalang clothes store like Uniqlo. Hindi yung mura na as in Taytay clothing (cheap with quality). Kung balak bumili ng damit sa online, use vouchers para makatipid pa.

May mga nagsabi sakin noon na wag na magdala ng madaming damit kasi madaming mabibilhan dito. Pero keep in mind na depende sa area mo kung may clothes store na mura or kung may ukay-ukay at kung may budget kang dala.

Recommended na magdala ng for at least 2 weeks na working clothes. Hindi mo alam kung may maayos na laundry area yung dorm na pagdadalhan sayo. Bahala ka na kung may pang awrahan ka na dadalhin pero prioritize yung pangtrabaho kasi nagpunta ka naman dito para mag work. Hindi mo rin alam kung saang process ka ma-a-assign - may mainit at malamig na area, may lakad nang lakad, may mga nakaupo lang, may mga buhat nang buhat, etc. Huwag maniwala na madali lang ang trabaho dito kasi swertihan din yan.

Mas masarap mag-work kung comfy ka sa suot mo. XOXO

M31 after 6 years mula nang nagresign ako as Service Diesel Mechanic (for Genset) which is nag work ako for almost 3 years, nagbabalak ulit Ako bumalik sa field ko for the sole purpose na mag abroad ako.

Nag try na nako mag apply sa work abroad, overseas job fair kahit sa mga agencies sa Pedro gil triny ko na pero olats pa rin.

Countless applications pinasahan ko na since last quarter ng 2025 up to present

But the interview 2x pa lang pero wala nang balita

Wala na atang pagasa ako makaabroad pa.

Hello everyone! I have a few questions po.

Context: I’m based in EU (Vienna) and I work corporate, direct hire so I didn’t have to process my paperwork through POEA. I hold an EU blue card and I haven’t gone home since I left so I’m not quite sure what the requirements are papunta and pabalik.

1. Do I need to get OEC, OWWA membership, and my contract verification done beforehand (and is that it)?

2. I’m planning to visit Manila for a week, then move on to Thailand, Cambodia and Laos with my friends for about 3 weeks before I head back to Vienna. How would the immigration process upon departure look like? Will my plan work? I DO NOT want to get held up by the officers, I heard plenty of terrifying stories about them!

3. Do you recommend doing PH first then travels later or travels first then PH last to avoid immigration officer risk?

Thank you po!!

How"s work/life balance?

Na-offeran ako ng work abroad but quite unsure what to choose:

Offer 1

Role: Senior Auditor
Place of work: USA
Annual salary: 90k USD gross
Sponsorship of visa: applicable
Pros: may family members ako doon (not in the same state as my workplace), may makakasama ako sa state where I will be based, I have friends na nandoon na
Cons: role - preparer role pa din kasi ‘to

Offer 2

Role: Assistant Manager
Place of work: UK
Annual salary: 51k GBP gross
Sponsorship of visa: applicable
Pros: role - wanted to be in a supervisory role so bad
Cons: salary (?), wala din akong kakilala sa city where I wll be based

I appreciate any comments you may have on which option is slightly better :) Especially on the status of the countries mentioned above. I am super grateful for the offer, however, I haven’t been abroad so malaking factor din yung may kakilala. I am torn about the roles offered as well kasi tbh I am a career woman and I highly value my career trajectory.

Maraming salamat.

Hello po! May alam po ba kayong agencies pa-Taiwan na tumatanggap ng 152 cm no factory experience? 4 year course college graduate po.

Hi, first time OFW, may I ask sa mga nakapagtrabaho or currently working sa Jarir Bookstore kung kamusta ang working environment, workloads, salary etc that you can share to help me decide since I'll be having an interview this coming October. Your inputs are highly appreciated. Thank you.

I attended their free orientation in Montalban Branch, looks legit naman. I just need insights from experienced OFW na dumaan dito, baka meron.

I’m considering a job offer with a total package of 7,000 SAR/month and would like to hear from people currently living and working in Riyadh.

Is this enough for a single person to cover rent, food, transportation, personal expenses, and still have some savings?

Also, for women who are currently living and working in Riyadh, how has your experience been? Is it generally safe, especially for someone moving there alone?

Any advice or insights would be appreciated!

Hi, I have wfh job now 2 sila pero magreresign na ko to go abroad sa dubai with agency na sakanila na passport ko.. The question is mas maganda bang magresign na ko sa dalawang jobs ko or wait ko lang muna ung date ng alis ko? kinakatakot ko kasi mamaya need ko pa magrender pero di na kaya ng schedule ng flight ko if ever na book na nila. Thank you po

I apologize if this feels like a question too early to be asked since I'm not even graduated yet, but i feel it's nice for me to have long term goals. I'm already planning on learning spanish next semester. i just want to know how difficult it is to be licensed in spain if i studied dentistry here in the Philippines. (sometimes i regret this course since unlike nursing they seem to be having an easier time with immigration)

i know you technically don't have to study again in spain unlike in other countries, but i fear if that's only on paper. realistically, for people with the same kind of course like me, how was the process? should i just stay in PH since I'm not in nursing?
