The Philippine Embassy in Kuwait according to a source is temporarily unable to issue OEC (Balik Mangagawa) to OFW's working in Kuwait. The embassy run out of OEC forms that they must get from Philippines.
This situation was brought upon by the strikes that were going on in Kuwait that started a week ago. Kuwait is in under pressure for strikes in the aviation sector.
But this is temporary only since the strike halted. It is just a matter of days to get those forms and start issuing again.
Meanwhile, OFW's who intends to go for vacation were advised to bring with them copy of their employment contract to secure OEC in the Philippines.
An employment contract duly signed by the employee and the employer is mandatory for all OFW's wanted to secure OEC.

ReplyDeleteMagandang araw po!ask lang po kung pwede na makakuha na Oec Dito sa kuwait at ano po ang mga requirements?salamat po!
ReplyDeleteMagandang araw din po. Sa pagkakaalam ko po ay pwedeng kumuha ng OEC sa ating embahada. Kailangan nyo lang dalhin ang inyong passport, ticket, or e-ticket at ang inyong kontrata sa inyong employer.
ReplyDeleteOk salamat po,office hours ano po.
ReplyDeleteAng pagkakaalam ko po from 8 a.m. till 1 p.m. ay processing po tapos ang releasing ay from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., pero di ako gaanong sure. Medyo matagal na kasi akong hindi nakavisit doon. Anyway pag bumisita po kayo paki post na lang po kong ano talaga ang recent timing nila para din po sa kalaman ng ibang bibisita sa blog na ito.
ReplyDeleteSalamat Ms. Cathy.
Ask Lang po,Anong requirement kuha ka ng OEC,at kuha b cya agad.thanks po.
ReplyDeleteKailangan po ng Passport, Employment agreement (Contract) at e ticket or ticket.

ReplyDeletesalamat po
Passports that were unclaimed after six months from the supposed release date will be forfeited. This is as per the circular released from the Embassy.
ReplyDeleteMy friend went on vacation to phils, she has valid visa till 2014, when she tried to come back, POEA refused to give her OEC due to 4 months valid passport, now she is renewing the passport, when she obtains the new passport, does she needs any other documents other than OEC? please let me know i could let her know.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, yes.
ReplyDeleteHindi nb nagbbgay ng balik manggagawa ngayon dto sa kuwait. Totoo b n s pinas n kukuha. Uwi po ako ngyn 26 kailangan ko po reply nyo.
ReplyDeleteNagbibigay naman po. Temporary lang po yong pagtigil ng pag issue at the time of this post.
ReplyDeleteGanun ba. Bukas ba ng 25 at 26 ngyn february db holiday yun dto sa kuwait. Sa 26 ksi flight ko 25 kuha aq blik mangagawa mabigyan kya aq nun.
ReplyDeleteBukas ba ng 25 at 26 ngyn feb. Ang embassy kasi kukuha aq blik manggagawa pkisuyo lang kailangan ko reply nyo.
ReplyDeleteGet it before the holidays.
ReplyDeleteAsk ko lng po kung okey lng b me kumuha ng oec khit malapit n expired ng visa ko.wala po bng magiging problema un kadi balik ako bgo mag exprd.need ko po reply?
ReplyDeleteThe best move is to renew your visa before going for vacation if the validity is less than six months to avoid any problem.
ReplyDeletecan i ask f ilan ang mababayaran ko since 2007 d pa ako umuwi ng pinas
ReplyDeleteThere could be changes I can't tell exact amount. Payment for OEC in my experience may include Pag-ibig, OWWA and Balik Manggagawa. Maybe you should bring at least KD 15, it would be more than enough. You may post here hpw much is the exact exact amount for the benefit of other readers.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeletejust want to ask if our embassy are now issuing oec’s already.. how will i get oec and when is the best date to get?i will go for my vacation this May 31 and it will take 45days. thank you..
ReplyDeleteYes the embassy is issuing OEC and you will find how, click here http://expatnoypi.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/philippine-embassy-in-kuwait-on-oec-issuance/
ReplyDeleteI took my OEC also on April 2013. I am also going for 45 days vacation. OEC is valid for 2months or 60 days from issuance, which means if you are going for vacation for two or more months you should not get OEC from the embassy, instead get it from Phil. In your case (just like my case) which is only for 45 days, it is possible.
Thanks for reading, please share this post to your friends that are planning for vacation.
Isang job opportunity po mga kabayan ang na i share sa atin galing kay fixaidkw. Share nyo rin po sa iba.
ReplyDeleteWala po ako sa posisyon na sagutin ang katanungan po regarding sa ganitong subject. But based on my experience tuwing Feb po sila nagbibigay. Since April na po ngaun maaring wala po this year.
ReplyDeleteAng employment contract po ay maaring makukuha sa iyong current sponsor/employer. Yan po may kopya sa inyong personnel file na normally hawak ng inyong HRD.
ReplyDeletepassport and civil id lng ba ang dadalhin ko? if ever 9am nsa embassy na ko matatapos/makukuha ko din ba yun within that day?salamat
ReplyDeletePd po bang ticket lng ang dala kong requirement para makakuha ng oec?
ReplyDeletepaanu po ako mkakaavail sa SSS at pag ibig??
ReplyDeleteIpa check po ninyo ang status ng inyong contribution sa pagibig at SSS sa Embassy at mag advise po sila kung ano ang mga kailagang gawin.
ReplyDeleteDepende po sa visa article ninyo. Kung kayo po ay visa 18, okay na po ang eticket at original passport. Sa visa 20, kailangan po ng eticket, original passport at employment contract.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day po! Ask ko LNG po if my amnesty this 2013 or 2014 and what month po!
ReplyDeletesir merry christmas po..tanong ko lang meron po bang amnesty sa year 2014??
ReplyDeletesir ano ang dapat gawin ng pinsan ko,,kasi tumakas sya sa dating employer nya.ngayon pumasok sya katulong din pero yong mga papel nya hindi nya dala..pasport copy lng meron sya..anong dapat gawin?pls let me know po...

ReplyDeleteHi! Pasensya na po at medyo natagalan ang sagot ko sa tanong na ito. Honestly, di ko kasi alam ang sagot. Tanging ang gobyerno lang po dito ang may alam kung kailan. Mag antay na lang po tayo ng announcement.
