Ipinaliwanag ni Labor Attache to Australia Melissa Mendizabal kung ano ang OFW Pass at ang kaibahan nito sa Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) para sa mga Filipino migrant workers sa Australia.


Key Points
  • Ang OFW Pass na ipinatupad ng Philippine Department of Migrant Workers noong nakaraang taon ay isang digital document na pwedeng makuha online nang libre sa eGov PH.
  • Ito ay pinadaling sistema para makumpleto ang mga requirements ng isang OFW para makabalik sa kanilang job site kung nagbakasyon sa Pilipinas.
  • Ang mga returning workers o Balik Mangagawa lamang ang eligible na makakahua ng OFW Pass basta merong kopya ng verified OEC Migrant Workers Office.
