Filipinos Can Legally Work Abroad Without Agency, Placement Fees

Filipinos who wish to work overseas are strongly advised to register legally in POEA. You don’t have to worry too much about Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) if your job application abroad is processed by an accredited recruitment agency. However there are many cases when a Filipino worker gets hired by a foreign company through their own means, meaning not through the help of a licensed agency.

If that is the case, you can still obtain an OEC and avoid paying placement fees. You just need to submit the following documents to the Name Hire Assistance Division of POEA at the 2nd floor of the main office in Mandaluyong.
