OEC hindi na daw nirerelease sa SG sa mga first timer

shakiraaa

Maraming salamat @Michaeltan! Very helpful po!

Yung ACRA/biz-file ng company, nabibili sya actually $5.50 sa https://www.bizfile.gov.sg yun nga lang gagastos pa.

Salamat sa inputs mo!

maya

@shakiraaa kung bibili, kailangan ng log in details ng company?

robert

@shakiraaa @renrenren nakauwi na ko from Pinas at nakakuha narin ng OEC! Bale ang requirements lang na hiningi sakin is yung:
- Verified Contract from embassy (may red ribbon)
- Sworn statement (pag wala ka nito, may form silang ibibigay sayo para pirmahan mo on the spot)
- Passport and Spass card photocopy

Mahaba lang yung pila kahit 9am yung schedule, pero yung mismong processing mabilis lang, less than 5mins yung sakin, Php100 bayad then print nalang online yung OEC

@robert that is good to know na may OEC kana. So yung 3 nasa list mo yung needed na requirements lang talaga? wala nabang PDOS at saka agency requirement? total of how many days yung nagamit mo sa pinas para ma process lahat?

robert

@O17_insik in total isang araw lang nagastos ko sa pagprocess ng OEC, yup di rin ako nirequire ng PDOS saka agency requirement, but note na yung work ko is software developer, I think kasama sya sa professionals category kaya di sya required sakin. And as far as I know di na need ng PDOS sakin kasi meron na akong verified contract and nakapag medical narin thru company.

tracey

newbieSG

1. Signed employment contract
> valid ba ung digitally signed? Kase sinend lang sakin ung contract via website (docusign)
> kelangan ba lahat ng page may pirma?

2. Acra?
> may nakasubok na bang bumili pag hindi bibgay ng company?

3. Ipa
4. Passport

5. Identification ng signatory ng contract

> mukhang malabo ako makakuha neto kase mejo pumirna ay country head HR. Malamang hindi ibigay

eyprileypril

@robert naupdate ba yung bmonline mo nung emergency oec mo? Sakin kasi hindi, not sure paano na sa next uwi.

shakiraaa

@robert maraming salamat sa inputs mo!

shakiraaa

Hi @newbieSG, kakabili ko lang ng ACRA bizfile. 5.5sgd lang naman. At the same time, nag request din ako ng Certificate of Employment - - i think ito ginamit ni @robert instead of IC ng signatory ng contract

shakiraaa

Hi @maya sobrang late na ng reply ko, singpass or FIN lang naman need mo para makabili ng ACRA bizfile. Mabilis lang. Hehe

Kaka start ko lng po s SG last Jan. Tourist lng din ako nag start. dito ko n din inasikaso OEC ko. Hindi po kayo maaring magkaroon ng OEC kng hindi verified ung contract nyo. madali lng makakuha ng OEC ung contract verification ang mahirap dahil s checklist n need papirmahan s employer.

NON-OEC EXEMPTED OFWs

Workers who are not exempted from applying for OEC include, among others, the following:

Workers who are not previously registered with the POEA – workers with no existing record of deployment with the POEA or POLO. This may include those who left the Philippines as tourist, student, dependent, etc.
Workers who changed employment on-site – workers who transferred or entered into a new employment contract from one employer to another.
Non-OEC exempted workers are advised to take the following steps when applying for OEC:

For workers with no previous registration with POEA:

Submit employment contract to the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) of the Philippine Embassy in Singapore for verification and authentication. Please see the requirements for verification and authentication of contract below.
Collect the verified and authenticated employment contract from the POLO after five (5) working days.
Apply for OEC at the POEA in the Philippines. Present the verified and authenticated employment contract to the POEA in the Philippines when applying for OEC. Please note that the POEA will require the presentation of other documents like proof of current employment (e.g., current certificate of employment, valid company ID or recent pay slip) and sworn statement of the worker providing explanation on how he/she was hired by the current employer.


Eto po ung checklist n need papirma s employer. take note kng ano lng ang applicable s contract mo un lng checkan. hindi kailangan lahat may check.

Hi,
Naglogin at nagpasched din ako through bmonline sa ph embassy dito sa SG. Kaso yun nga sabi sa akin sa pinas na daw magprocess ng oec kasi wala pa daw ako record sa poea. Sabi din ng taga embassy.. Kahit sa airport daw magprocess ng oec.. Kasi 5 days lang naman ako pinas.
Inaalala ko kasi baka ndi maprocess sa airport since tourist lang ako nakapunta dito sa SG.
@robert kaya ba halfday sa poea mismo magprocess?
Sa balik manggagawa booth ba pila? Direct hire na area processing?

Thanks

eyprileypril

Naprocess sa pinas yung akin arvin. Emergency oec tawag, valid for 24hrs. Agahan mo na lang sa airport
Yun lang di nagupdate sa bm online ko, kaya i guess need ko pa din magpaprocess dito sa next flight.

robert

@arvin.00 yup bro, almost 2 hours lang ako naghintay sa pila sa POEA main office, although yung sched ko is 9am from bmonline appointment, nagpunta ko sa POEA office ng 7:30am, pero madami na nakapila agad, so agahan mo nalang din. Basta kumpleto requirements, mabilis lang.

@eyprileypril I think yung sakin is hindi emergency oec kasi nagupdate sa bmonline. Sa POEA main office mo ba nilakad yung sayo or sa airport?

ravin.00

Thanks sir @robert bale sa Balik manggagawa booth ka na pumila? Ndi sa poea direct hiring process office?

@eyprileypril thanks din.. first time oec ka din ba? As in tourist ang labas sa ph and wala record sa poea pa?

robert

Yup @arvin.00, may booth sa labas ng POEA main office bago ka pumasok sa main door, ipapakita mo lang yung BMOnline appointment mo tapos bibigyan ka ng number. Pinaghahalo nila yung may appointment saka yung walk-in, pero prioritized yung may appointment. Agahan mo lang ang punta.

ravin.00

Thanks mga sir/mam.
May updated instructions na si SG embassy.
https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/labor/direct-hiring/registration-oec-issuance/

Kebs

OEC Application for FIRST TIMERS

IMPORTANT: Read embassy's instructions/requirements first.

https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/labor/direct-hiring/registration-oec-issuance/

Here's my personal experience

PART I: PH Embassy

Step1: OWWA Membership, I submitted the ff:
+ bm online info sheet
+ Contract
+ passport photocopy
+ pass IC photocopy
+ ACRA bizfile (nabibili to for 5sgd, i think no need to buy as long as meron kang Company Registration No., sinulat lang ni kuya yung reg number sa info sheet ko eh)

Paid SGD 36.00
Time spent: ~15mins

Step 2: Contract Verification/Authentication

Tinanggap ni embassy as is yung contract ko. Importante sa kanila talaga is if incase of repatriation of remains, dapat sagot ni employer. In my case.. Walang expressed na statement na ganyan sa contract ko, pero nasa contract na may group life insurance benefit ako.. w/c is okay na si embassy sa coverage. By the way, fyi lang.. Yung contract ko, digitally signed ng HR and dept head. So no issue kay embassy kung digitally signed.

Paid SGD 17 (for contract verification)
Paid SGD 42.5 (for contract authentication)

Time spent:
~1hr waiting time to be called
~30mins actual processing

Release of the verified and authenticated contract was scheduled 4 days after submission.

Nung kinuha ko na, mga 5 mins lang ako sa embassy. Hehe Derecho na kasi sa window ng releasing.

PS:
Mag photocopy bago pumuntang embassy. At least 2 copies of ur docs.

Nag ready din pala ako ng COE and payslip just in case hingin. Hehe

Update ko kayo sa PART 2: POEA Philippines pagka uwi ko

peterparker

@shakiraaa same po tayo..tapos na din ako sa part 1, update ka sa part 2 dun sa pag process ng mismong OEC sa POEA,, although may idea na ako kung pano gagawin and all,,big help if mashare mo din para saten lahat na newbie. Also d ako aware dun sa format ng sworn statement(how did i get my job here etc.) if i need to follow a certain format then need ipa notarize somewhere

shakiraaa

UPDATE: OEC Application for FIRST TIMERS

PART II: POEA Philippines

Here's my personal experience. Nagpa sched ako sa POEA Duty Free Paranaque. Mas onti ang tao. My entire experience was good, mababait naman sila and mabilis naman. Hehe

Requirements:
+ Info sheet
+ passport
+ pass
+ verified/authenticated contract (original and photocopy) wag kalimutan ang photocopy para mas mabilis, hahaha ako kasi yung hindi pa verified ang photocopy kaya nkadagdag din mga 15mins kasi nagpaphotocopy pa ako. Haha may photocopier naman malapit

Step 1: get queueing number kahit may appt ka. 10am sched ko, andun na ako mga 9am

Step 2: Valuation window - submit all requirements

Step 3: Bayad center window - pay Php 119 for OEC

Step 4: OWWA - register and pay if wala pa. Ako verification lang kasi nakapag owwa na ako sa embassy

Step 5: Pag-ibig (HDMF) - contribute 3/6/12 mos worth

End of process. Hehe

Time spent:
~1.5hrs incl waiting, processing time

Sana makatulong sa inyo!
