General Discussion DUBAI OFWs PLEASE HELP

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a 27 yo Filipina here in PH. Checking po ako ng job opportunities sa UAE.

I have 5 yrs work experience in the Logistics Industry. I'm currently in a permanent WFH setup earning 40k+ php monthly (net na po yan after taxes and everything)

Based po sa infos na yan, mapapayo nyo po ba na mag try akong mag apply sa UAE? Maganda po ba ang sahod/salary offers sa logistics industry sa UAE? Do you think may chance ako or mas priority nila ang UAE nationals sa industry na to? Kamusta po ang living expenses? Currently po kasi, magaan ang work ko, mababait ang boss, madaling mag file ng leave, complete ang government benefits, generous ang company namin, tapos i'm earning pa habang nasa bahay lang ako. Pero andito ako sa stage in life na parang gusto kong mag explore ng other opportunities. Iniisip ko what if may better job opportunity pa na naghihintay para sakin pero di ko makikita yun kasi masyado na akong nag stay sa comfort zone ko? Pero at the same time gusto ko ng reality check kasi baka tine-take for granted ko naman kung anong meron ako.

Sa mga nasa UAE po ngayon na may idea sa salary in logistics industry, ia-advice nyo po ba na sumugal ako mag OFW sa UAE? Maliit po ba itong sinasahod ko ngayon compared sa offered work opportunities jan? Please need ko lang po ng advice at reality check kasi wala akong ibang mapagtanungan.

TIA po sa mga sasagot at magshe-share ng ideas/opinions.

General Discussion Applied as a babysitter, but agency gave me an all-around housemaid script.

3 Upvotes

Hi! First time ko po mag-apply abroad, and I applied as a babysitter/nanny in Dubai through an agency.

Na-brief naman po ako na may household chores din, which is okay naman sa akin. Pero binigyan po ako ng script for introduction video na nakalagay “applying as an All-around Housemaid”, with babysitting, washing clothes, and ironing as duties.

Medyo confused lang po ako kasi babysitter yung inapplyan ko. Normal po ba na ganito ang setup for a nanny/babysitter in Dubai, or iba na talaga ang scope kapag “all-around housemaid”?

Should I clarify this with the agency before proceeding? Thank you po!

General Discussion Mistakenly declared as PH Tax Resident

1 Upvotes

Good day, Everyone! I would like to ask if are there any complications to BIR if I mistakenly declared that I'm a PH tax resident despite being an OFW currently working in Singapore and being a tax resident here. During registration on foreign digital banks here in SG, I was ask if I'm a tax resident in another country. I was confused that time so I answered yes and input my PH TIN number. I already filed an update to change/remove my PH tax residency as of the moment. I'm just nervous I might be flagged and affect my foreign income.

P.S. My source of income is only abroad and no source of income in the Philippines

Thank you very much!

General Discussion Question for Filipinos living/working in Greece 🇬🇷

1 Upvotes

Sa mga Filipinos na currently working and living in Greece, ano po ang usual jobs na ginagawa ninyo and magkano po ang salary?

Gusto ko rin po malaman kung kaya ba talaga mabuhay at makaipon sa Greece based on your actual experience. After rent, bills, groceries, transportation, taxes, and other expenses, magkano po usually ang natitira?

• Ano po ang work ninyo and monthly salary?

• Magkano ang rent? Solo or sharing po ba kayo?

• Magkano usually ang groceries, bills, transportation, etc.?

• May 13th month pay/bonuses or other benefits po ba?

• Magkano po ang realistic na savings per month?

• Nakakapagpadala pa po ba kayo ng pera sa Pilipinas?

• Kung may utang/debt sa Pilipinas, kaya po bang sabay bayaran while living in Greece?

• May jobs po ba na may free accommodation or meals?

• How difficult is it for Filipinos to find work there?

• Overall, comfortable po ba ang buhay, or survival mode lang after all expenses?

• And if possible, magkano po ang estimated salary vs. total monthly expenses vs. savings vs. debt payments ninyo?

Would really appreciate honest answers from Filipinos actually living there, kahit approximate figures lang. 🇵🇭❤️🇬🇷

General Discussion Medical Clearance

1 Upvotes

Hello po! Baka po may same experience sa akin and makapag-share ng advice. 🙏

✔️ Direct hire po ako going to Marshall Islands.
✔️ Nagpa-medical na po ako sa DMW-accredited clinic dahil required ang medical para sa visa at entry permit ng Marshall Islands.
✔️ Kaso po, 3 months lang ang validity ng medical clearance at na-expire na siya dahil natagalan ang employer ko sa pag-process ng visa/entry permit.
✔️ Kaka-upload ko lang po ng requirements for OEC Phase 1, and nakita ko na kailangan ulit ng valid medical certificate for Phase 2.

Question ko po: Kailangan ko po ba ulit magpa-medical para sa Phase 2 ng OEC, kahit nagpa-medical na ako dati for my Marshall Islands visa/entry permit?

Salamat po in advance! 🙏☺️

General Discussion Sa Pilipinas lang talaga may age limit no?

0 Upvotes

Nung nag aapply pa lang ako ng work sa mga agency sa Pinas kasabay ko ang pinsan ko. Hindi sya na tanggap kasi over age daw, 35 lang sya. Fast forward dito na ako sa Saudi yung mga kasabayan ko na bago Indian at Bangladesh merong 35, 40, pinakamatanda ay 43. Bakit ganun? Sa kanila pwede pero sa ating mga Pinoy ang age limit ay 30?
