Dear Folks, Do any expat have an experience hiring Philippine house maid for full times? I have some questions which is listed as below Is there an agency that can employ them? If we hire them full-time, are we responsible for providing visas and ...
@choylaimunHello,Unfortunately there is a 98% no way to get a work-permit in your case. As noted by Aidan and OceanBeach92107, only "experts" are eligible, and the employer must justify it's a special locally-non-easy-to-find skilled person to be ... Read More

Hi. I searched this topic and found a variety of posts here that are similar, but not quite the information I'm seeking, so I decided to make it a new topic.I find that the DN1 visa program for Vietnam is not very well documented online, other than ...
@OceanBeach92107 What I said is true in the theory and in the practice and in the real life. The DN visas are cumulatives in periods of 360 days (not the same than "per year") . This means that, for example, if you get a 3months DN1 visa (WP ... Read More

@ChacronymNo choice, the signatures in papers are only from the sponsor. Eventhough this tramit is not difficult, surely is nice to have an Agent. My advise is to let your sponsor to deal locally with an Agent, easier to trace and communicate in ... Read More
