Hello everyone!
I'd like to say sorry for all those messages i haven't replied yet.Especially to my fellow filipinos who were asking me about the agency,the process,the fees and everything i did before coming here.
This thread is actually for my fellow filipinos here around Turkey and for those who are planning to come here. Just to sum up everything. I don't have enough time to reply every messages i got from anyone everyday. My phone will explode(lol!!exaggerating 😂😁)
So,first...,i had a help from an Agency in coordination with my Host family(employer). We worked with Gerdin Manpower which is based in Ermita,Manila.Even if i got them directly,he was advised by the Phil.Embassy in Ankara,to get an agency from Philippines to work the process.Since i got here thru a direct application,me and my employer agreed that they should be the one paying the whole process including my airfare. But not all employers are like mine.(Just lucky enough!)I didn't spend any cents/peso in the process.
And,about the processing fees he paid around 2000usd or more i guess,(not so sure),its like 8000TL a discounted fee from Turkey and Philippines,as he told me.It took us 2months to process all the papers(bec.it was a rush),i don't know what's the exact/span of months to process for a regular application.Anyway,and i got here thru a working visa.If you'll ask me of how i got my host family,its another story 😁😂
I hope i answered some of your querries.
Just reply me here,if you still need some infos/clarifications regarding the process/fees/agency.
Jen😉
