The Philippine Government has announced that they will shoulder the required fees, as well as the one-way plane ticket for OFWs who are planning to take advantage of the amnesty period granted by the UAE from August 1 to October 31.
In a social media post from the Philippine Embassy in the UAE said that the financial assistance will only be provided for those who will be going home: “Assistance will cover for payment of exit passes, fees for absconding lifting, and airfare to the Philippines.”
Consul General Paul Raymund Cortes also clarified that only those with overstaying and absconding cases will be assisted for repatriation and does not include OFWs with police cases.
OFWs who will choose to stay in the Emirates must have their status corrected. To do this, they need to go directly to the assigned immigration centers with their passports.
OFWs in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Western Regions seeking assistance to return home may proceed to the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi or send an email to atn.abudhabi@gmail.com
For those who are in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, they can go to the Philippine Consulate in Dubai
or send an email to amnesty@pcgdubai.ae
