POEA Direct Hiring Requirements and Process: Name Hire Procedures (2023)

Processing Employment Documents to Work Overseas

Finding an overseas job without the assistance of a recruitment agency is called a direct hire or name hire.

Some of the benefits of finding work this way are:

• No placement fees to a recruitment agency.
• Direct contact with your employer. You are in touch with them from the beginning.

• A feeling of fulfillment. You negotiate it all to your own satisfaction.

• Fewer complications.

• A learning experience you can share with others.

The following is my advice, based upon my experience, about how to successfully complete a direct hire application.

What You Need for a Direct Hire

Many Filipinos find work abroad in this manner, but they must complete certain steps in order to avoid problems.

• Before you do anything else, make sure you have your visa and working permit.
• Depending upon the type of job you will be doing, you are required to process your employment documents and other permits with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).
• After you have completed these steps, you will be a registered Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) with the benefits of being a member of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.

Note that there are different procedures for skilled workers and household workers. The differences are detailed below.

Requirements for Professional and Skilled Workers

When you go to the POEA, be sure to bring a black ballpoint pen and money to pay fees. Professional workers in any field must also bring an original and two photocopies of the following valid documents to the POEA office:

• passport (picture page and last page)

• employment contract

• working visa

• money for fee processing

• 2X2 photos of yourself

• PDOS certificate (this will be issued in the POEA)

• medical certificate (except for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand)

Household Service Worker Requirements

When you go to the POEA, be sure to bring a black ballpoint pen and money to pay fees. Household employees of all types must also bring the original and photocopies of the following documents to the POEA office:

• passport (picture page and last page)

• employment contract

• working visa

• money for fee processing

• 2X2 photos of yourself

• request for exemption from the direct hiring policy issued by the POLO/Labor Attache, as applicable

• TESDA NC II for HSW (except for Canada and ex-overseas HSW)
• workers heading to Taiwan need a COC from TESDA
• workers heading for the Middle East, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Israel and China workers need an OWWA certificate on language and culture orientation

• family driver Middle East workers must have personal accident insurance and motor vehicle insurance verified by the POLO/Labor Attache

• PDOS certificate (this will be issued in the POEA)

• medical certificate (except for Canada, Australia, New Zealand)

Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar

Attend your Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) at the scheduled time. All OFWs are required to have a PDOS certificate. It is very important to attend and the seminar will provide information about the country where you will live and work. Keep your PDOS certificate and have it photocopied.

Medical Examination Requirement

Have your medical exam done in any accredited medical clinic. The POEA usually provides a list of accredited clinics. Once you have completed the exam with a bill of good health, it means you are fit to work. Keep your original medical certificate and have it photocopied. You will need them at the next step.

Final Approval and Issuance of Order of Payment

Submit your evaluated documents together with your PDOS certificate and medical certificate. Once you are approved, they will give you an OP (order of payment) which you will pay.

Release of Papers and Documents

Go to window eight in the central office, or the releasing area, for the release of your original papers. Make sure you receive your passport and PDOS certificate.

Proceed to window one for your assessment of payment.

Payment of Processing Fees

Go to Window J and pay all required fees. These will include your POEA processing fee, OWWA and Philhealth.

After paying you will receive an E-receipt or Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC), which will serve as your OFW travel exit clearance at the immigration counters in the airport. Keep it, because you will use it in the airport for free travel tax, airport terminal fee, and reduced travel tax for dependents.

Is it necessary to have agency in the Philippine to process the papers in POEA? As of now my husband have complete documents, the medical result already done, employment visa chop on his passport, the only thing he is waiting is the documents verified & chop by the Philippine embassy in Brunei. My problem now they don't want to process the document because they insist to have agency in the Philippine which is hindrances for the Filipino Workers who want to work abroad. Is there any other way to proceed it without any stamp by the Philippine Embassy in Brunei?

hi

currently i am working here in saudi arabia and i was directly hired as a Manager for a certain service company in UAE free zone, my employer will provide the visa and employment contract. then i was instracted to complete my requirements, Red Ribbon my school credentials and then submitted to UAE embassy for authentication. after on UAE authentication i will send my documents to my employer for my visa application. my question is if i have already my working visa, will the POEA office allow me to travel without passing through recruitment agency?

thanks.....

Donna on May 23, 2017:

Hi

Since direct hire is banned! To those not under the category for

Diplomat

International org

Higher rank

Relatives/ family (resident host country)

To those not under this kind of category You will be denied by the POEA and you may proceed or you find a recruitment agency to process your docs

Which you will pay additional expenses.

It was so dissapointing

Everthing is complete

Resident permit, TESDA , passport etc , but you cannot proceed due to their regulations.

Can you help which recruitment agency to go? To process such docs and get OEC for future departure!

Thanks

Janet on May 01, 2017:

I heard to the news that is not allowing anyone for direct hire because of the government that they stop for giving oec is that true

We have a client in Ethiopia who needs 120 Light Duty/Hvy Duty Drivers Steel Fixers, Form Workers and Labors. Problem is the attestation of the Philippine required documents in Ethiopia which our client found hard to secure. Then our client informed us that their sister company recently hired 40 Filipino workers through their Turkish representative--40 more is coming through a very simple procedure--- only attest the workers contract, visa, passport copy and other documents in Ethiopia and then process in the Philippines for deployment.... i would like to ask under what kind of Recruitment is this? Direct Hire? Name Hire? and is this allowed with participation of an Agency in the Philippines? Thank you for shedding some light on this....

I have sponsor under the name of company in kuwait. They hire me as direct. When I was in poea to get a list of documents I need for my clearance to exit, they just told me that I need visa, working permit and original contract authenticated by polo in kuwait with official reciept. But when my sponsor stars processing my papers and went to polo in kuwait, they adviced him to get registered and need agency to process my papers as skilled worker. I dont understand, what is the use of direct hiring if we still need agency to assist me so I can work abroad? It doesnt make sense to me. I need help how to get a verified or authenticated contract from polo without hassle and not need agencies to assist us? Please teach us how? Will apreciate your advice. Thank you

maye anne on September 06, 2015:

This concern is for my husband, he is hired directly to work in Taiwan. His broker told him that he cannot be able to work there because he's registered late by our PSA (Philippine Statistic Authority). We had complied all the requirements, and we are even willing to pay for the necessary fees. How does it's true, regarding this matter? I just can't believe them because I know that they only have a hidden agenda, I think they just mislead us to back out for they have their own person to take the slot. I am aware that we don't need an agency neither a broker, if we are direct hire. But can you give us more information and guidelines about the qualifications and other concerns on how to ask a residence permit in Taiwan.

Karen Guingaban on July 16, 2015:

liz ino on June 16, 2015:

Hello! I really hope you could help me coz i am about to give up my job in China because i cant get an OEC.

I am also direct hired and have already my working visa. I went to POEA a month ago but they looked for an authenticated contract. Mine wasnt. The company in china who hired me went to the Phil Embassy there to have it authenticated. But, they advised that it should be notarized and that's only step 1. But, they cant have it done since the notary office wants my employer who resides in Canada have a personal appearance.

Now, I dont know what to do. Is there an agency that can help me get OEC? Or is it possible that my unauthenticated contract be accepted? Kindly give me advice. Thank you very much.

tracyG on May 25, 2015:

Hi I need advice po from those who have successfully processed a Direct Hire for a Professional (Telecom Engineer)

(d daw yata maganda ang coordination ng dalawang gov;t agency??)

Angel on April 26, 2015:

A question and i need a further advice that may can help to work in abroad. Situation:

I was directly hired by my employer in south america. Since the company that hired was not able to be accredited again by the agency that they use before me. Therefore, i have my working visa, contract, and itinerary. To pass on Philippine Immigration in the Airport, i need OEC as one of the documents that i need to provide. I went to POEA to get this OEC. Sadly, POEA never gave me an OEC. Reason; my employer was not accredited by POEA anymore and POEA suggested to me that my employer should apply an accreditation to any agency so i can get my OEC. In this connection, what is the sense of direct hiring. Some employer doesn't want to work with Philippine Agency because some agency are really abusive. Please i need your advice. I lost a lot of money, time and effort about my situation. Please thanks.

stanley atienza - Qatar on December 17, 2014:

Hi there!

I am trying to hire 2 Filipinos, who is actually my friends and I directly recruited them. Unfortunately, POLO here in Qatar were requiring them to go through an agency in which I am confused since I recruited them directly. Is this a new policy that everyone has to have an agency coming out from Philippines?

leejay on November 26, 2014:

My Question sir/maam.:direct hired po ako sa sister company namin sa china.my 2 years contract po ako kaylng po hanggang 1 year lang po yung pinatapos nila after ng 1 year working visa ko pinauwi napo ako/kami sa dahilan pong ayaw napo daw ng gov't china mag renew ng visa sa company namin dahil po daw binabawasan nila yung nagtatrabahong pilipino sa companing pinapasukan kopo sa china dahil narin po daw sa isyu ng spratlyst island before.pinauwi plang po ako last august 2014...tanong kopo makatarungan poba yung nangyari sa akin/sa amin?..sabi din po ng company namin wala po daw magagawa ang company namin dahil po it's a gov't issue po daw.salamat po.

Dubaiprob on November 13, 2014:

bakait kailanagn pa dumaan ng agency sa polo? Paano pa natin matatawag na direct hire kung dadaan pa ng agency? Sobrang laki ng hinihingi ng agency 5k aed. Around 50thousand sa peso. Paano dun sa hind masshoulder ng company at walang pambayad? Wag po sana natin perahan ang mga bagong bayani ng bansa. Hindi po naghahakot ng pera ang trabaho nila. Nagpapakahirap sila lumayo sa pamilya tapos yung iba mamemera lang.

Hi twentyfive, i resigned from work 2months ago from an institution to which i've been employed for 5 years,but then my back up plans didn't really work out so i contacted my previous employer and applied for reinstatement which they gladly accept and started processing. They said they will make pass for the 2 months that i'm away as an unpaid leave. My question is, since it's just 2 months and it's with the same employer, do i still have to undergo PDOS and medicals if i get reinstated?

sapphire on July 20, 2014:

Good day to all!I'm also a direct hire from dubai.. so the first step I did was go to poea. Poea told me tat they need my contract to verify by polo dubai. So my employer go in polo but unfortunately polo said tat I need to use agency coz direct hire is not allowed now in Philippines. I'm wondered y poea don't know this issue.. and my employer needs to pay 4500 dhms for everything.. my question is how many days does the agency will process my papers?

purple cherry on July 03, 2014:

@Batch85 : thanks for the GAMCA info. How long and how much did you spend for the medical process? Thanks!

twentyfive (author) on June 25, 2014:

You should verify 2 things in POEA first before you decide if the job abroad is legit:

1. Verify if that job has a valid Job Order

2. Verify if the agency in POEA is accredited and its licensed is not yet expired

Verification can be done via phone call or online at the POEA website.

twentyfive (author) on June 24, 2014:

Yeah sounds like scam coz if they are legit and real, they won't ask you money. They will process everything if they really want and need you

Raymark on June 24, 2014:

How to apply? I have a complete requirements tnx

Batch85 on June 21, 2014:

Advice to all direct hire or name hire. As my personal experience this month of June 2014, you can have your Medical Clinic Referral direct from GAMCA in their office at Arkansas cor. J Bocobo St . Just prepare 2 photocopy of passport for GAMCA and for the Medical Clinic.

Batch85 on June 20, 2014:

Good day, twentyfive

I received a direct hire job offer from Qatar. I passed the online interview, we both affixed our signature on the contract and they send me work visa.

When I process my documents at the POEA, it was found that the company still have valid agency accreditation until July 2015 and according to the POEA the agency should process my documents.

However, the agency also could not process my documents because the company job order was already expired.

And the bad news, the company have no more intension to re-new the JOB Order on the agency.

Now, I’m nowhere to go.

Kindly give me assistance to my situation.

mike on June 12, 2014:

Hi po pls answer my question?

R9 on June 10, 2014:

Hi twentyfive

hi twentyfive, i want to know if the poea is also updated with new rules in polo all over the world, I'm currently working here in Abu Dhabi and i was employed here as direct hire, i did not go any agency same with my brother in law, last year my employer also give working visa but this recent days i want to take also my other relative i was surprise that we need to go to agency,and they show me the new rules which is last september 1,2013 my question is that why the poea don't know this new rules this is 9 month already from the implementation so that we were aware on this, 2nd labor department in the Philippines,polo,poea don't have the same rules when it comes to employment abroad,I always in poea website if there is new memorandum publish on its site but i did not see any memo that direct hire is not allowed in u.a.e its make me disappointed because i can no longer help my relatives my employer don't want to shoulder the agency expenses worth 5000 plus Dirham thank you.

hello. I already have my temporary working visa as a live-in caregiver for canada. I am now for pdos. I would like to know the requirements for me to bring.

alen on April 10, 2014:

hello, meron na po ako visa for canada as a live-in caregiver. Nabasa ko sa mga post na kelangan pa i-aunthenticate ang cotnract sa POLO. Applicable pa po ba ito until now?Meaning, bago ako pumunta sa POEA to register at mag attend ng PDOS. I still have to wait for the authenticated contract from Canada?

John on February 14, 2014:

Good day,

I already went to POEA this day and they told me that I need to have my contract verified at a POLO office in Japan.

They told me to scan a piece of paper and fill it up, and send it to my employer to fill up some parts and let them apply it to the POLO office.

I'm just wondering if how long is the processing.

3 weeks from now I will be going to Japan and the last thing I need is the POEA exit clearance.

Thank you
