POEA Guidelines

Direct Hire

DEFINITION

Direct or Name hires are Filipino workers who are able to secure an overseas employment opportunity with an employer without the assistance or participation of any agency. They may have been directly contacted by a foreign employer by referral or have directly applied to their company.

Although your future employer would take care of your requirements (plane ticket, work visa, etc.), you must still have certain documents processed at POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration).

The requirements are the following: passport, work visa or work permit, employment contract verified or authenticated by the Philippine embassy or Philippine consulate in the country of your destination. You are also required to undergo a medical examination by a DOH-accredited clinic or hospital and a pre-departure orientation seminar (PDOS).

Fees and Costs

POEA Processing Fee - US$100 or its peso equivalent
OWWA membership fee - US$25 or its peso equivalent
OWWA Medicare - Php900.00

Required Documents

You shall be issued an Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC), which serves as the OFW travel exit clearance at the airport and immigration counters. The OEC is also an exemption for OFWs from payment of travel tax and airport terminal fees. You shall likewise get a free OFW electron ID card or e-Card, which is your permanent identification card to facilitate your departure and access to services as OFW.

I Think if you have a copy of the work visa all you need is ticket and you will get entry on arrival. Try to take the most direct route and if you can fly Qatar Airways they will ask to see you visa at the Airport well that what they do in UK and other countries..Good Luck Po

Since you will be going back to the Philippines. You just need to send your visa copy and passport to the Qatar Embassy in Manila. You can do this by going to DHL / World Wide Courier because the embassy doesnt entertain walk-in inquiries. After 5 working days, they will deliver it to you and you are all set to go to Qatar. But do ask your company here in Qatar if they require any documents to process your work visa. Some companies ask for authenticated police clearance which would mean, after obtaining a police clearance from your local area you would have to bring this to DFA for authentication. You won't need to go to any agency for this, you can process everything by yourself. Hope this helps. :)

you might also need to have your birth certificate authenticated by DFA also your transcript of record. but for you to be sure try asking the HR of the company what the docs you need to present to them because you'll have them authenticated here thru Phil. Embassy you'll be paying big amount.

After DHL process (Visa and other requirements being attested) you also have to go thru POEA since you are having a working visa.
