Atty. John Rio Bautista, the Labor Attache of DMW- Dubai & Northern Emirates, said that obtaining Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) is already free of charge.
Additionally, Attorney Bautista emphasized that the verified contracts are encoded directly into the system, leading to the automatic issuance of the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC).
The OEC is a crucial document for OFWs, verifying their processing by the DMW or MWO. It acts as clearance for overseas deployment, valid for 60 days from issuance and renewable once for the same employer.
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) can generate a new OEC online through their DMW e-Registration system account at onlineservices.dmw.gov.ph.
