The 10 reminders include:
- Apply only with licensed recruitment agencies. Don't apply with consultancy firms, training centers, travel agencies and foundations that promise jobs abroad.
- Check with POEA whether the position you are applying for has an approved job order.
- Transact only with authorized representative of a licensed agency.
- Transact business only at the registered address of the agency.
- Pay only the allowable placement fee. It should be equivalent to one month salary, except in cases where charging of placement fees is prohibited.
- Pay the placement fee only after you have signed an employment contract. Demand an official receipt reflecting the actual amount paid and purpose for which payment was made.
- Be wary of job offers through the Internet that require applicants to remit immediately payment for intended visa, air fare and processing costs.
- Be wary of ads or brochures requiring you to reply and to enclose payment for application forms and processing of papers.
- Make sure you have the appropriate work visa/permit. Be wary of job offers using tourist or visit visas.
- Transact directly with government offices/personnel. Never deal with fixers.
