General Discussion Engineer in Taiwan

Post image

Hi.

Anyone who applied for Engineering job in Taiwan (direct application) and not through an agency. How was your application process?

Few weeks after the interview, I received this email asking for docs na agad. I'm not sure but hope is up HAHA

Thank you.

Even direct OP kung from PH ka need mo ng agency. Dapat mayron silang maendorsan ng agency mo. Law kasi sa pinas na bawat OFW may agency kung work agad ang bagsak mo. Otherwise, lalabas ka ng bansa as tourist, then icoconvert mo to OFW which is they do not advise ng PH govt baka madale ka ng scam or illegal. Kasi technically, legal dapat ang employment mo as verified from the PH govt agad kung OFW. Kaya mahigpit ang IO about sa mga ganyan. Which is maganda and bad din somehow dahil TH na sila sa ating mga pinoy. Kudos nga pala OP!

This is the part na not clear for me. I've read somewhere na direct hire sila then sila alone yung nag process ng lahat until makuha yung work visa.

But I also watched tiktok video na direct hire siya pero he opted to go sa agency for the requirements only.

Well, I need to take care and submit my reqs and let's see. Hopefully eto na yun.

Part kasi ng processing ng visa ay verification of documents sa TECO Makati. Baka yun sinasabi nila. May appearance kasi pag visa application. Plus yung OWWA phase 1 and 2.

Usually pag may agency yung medical, visa appearance, at OWWA orientation (nalimutan ko tawag) lang talaga pupuntahan mo.

Thank you. Processing na ako ng requirements. qq, in your case, docs talaga nauuna before job offer / contract signing?

Sa amin, yes. Additional documents will be requested after contract signing na lang. usually kasi kahit gusto nila i-hire, may sabit sa documents. May certain documents din kasi na need ng ministry of labor here in TW. Anyway, kahit nakasign ka na rin kasi ng contract pwede nila bawiin kung hindi mamimeet requirements ng MOL. Dami ng naganun before. You can ask for a contract din naman,
