I have a friend from the Philippines and it was very difficult for them to get a work permit and residency permit because the local government had problems with abuses of resident Filipinos by their employers. I do not know if the situation has changed.

Most of the Filipinos I see here are employed in households as child minders or as cleaners or as shop help in businesses. The problem my friend had was in convincing the local government that they were a professional and as such not subject to the same working conditions as an uneducated person.

Dear MARGAH, welcome to Erbil, for finding jobs in Erbil search in internet like jobs in Erbil you will find a lot of websites about that, and for living in Erbil you have to get visa and resident card to stay here.
