How to Accept a POEA Job Offer

You may receive a job offer if your interview goes well and you meet the requirements. The procedures listed below must be followed in order to accept a job offer that has been approved by POEA:

Step 1: After receiving an offer, read and understand the contract before signing it. It is important that you review all of the terms and conditions stated in the contract including salary rate, duties, and responsibilities, as well as applicable benefits.

Step 2: Once the contract is signed, the agency will start processing your documents. They will also provide you with orientation on how to work abroad and ensure compliance with POEA regulations.

Step 3: Submit all the required documents according to POEA guidelines. These include passport, NBI clearance, medical certificate and other documents which you can check on the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos website.

Step 4: Attend the Pre-Employment Orientation Seminar or Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar which is usually held by the POEA or OWWA. This seminar provides valuable information that all aspiring OFWs need to know before they go abroad, such as relevant laws and the rights of migrant workers abroad.

Step 5: Travel to your destination after the agency has processed your visa and other documents. Take all the necessary steps to ensure you are safe from start to finish. Once you have settled in, keep in touch with the agency and update them on your whereabouts.

After you have settled in your destination country, keep in touch with the agency and update them on any changes, such as a change of address. This will help both parties stay connected as well as ensure that you are safe and comfortable while working abroad.
