OEC for Filipino OFW transferring directly from KSA: What to do?

GianCarlo665
By GianCarlo665

Hello mga kababayans,

 

I was previously hired for a KSA company and all my documents and records reflect that I am an OFW in Saudi. However, only less than a year into my two year contract in Saudi, i transferred to my old employer in Qatar, my exit from my old company and entry to Qatar went smoothly and have been working here for quite some time now.

My question is since my OEC still reflects my old company and country is KSA, is it possible to change this from KSA to Qatar?

Should I apply for a new one instead?

What documents would I need for both options just in case?

Where can I find the Philippine agency that takes care of the OEC issuance here in Qatar?

Can I get the OEC in the Philippines instead during my vacation nalang? Or mas hassle yun?

Malapit na kasi bakasyon ko.

Thanks guys!!!

No issue, just go to their office bring the necessary documents. unfortunately i couldn't help you on the location as they already transferred from bin omran (which i knew) to near the Philippine Embassy. That's all.

thanks guys, where can I find the POLO/OWWA office here in Doha.

Won't I encounter problems and questioning because I went directly from Saudi to Qatar?

Bro, Check this link for OEC requirements as above. http://memorazon.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/procedure-for-oec-application-in-doha-qatar/. You will need your contract for verification and pay 40QAR; register to OWWA if you have not yet updated membership, and pay 93 QAR; also update your Pag-ibig, pay at remittance center; get OEC and pay required fees (__QAR). Update also your Philhealth upon reaching Manila. Hope this helps. Cheers.
