Visa Exemption for Filipinos Transiting Through New Zealand

The Embassy of New Zealand in Santiago has informed the Philippine that effective 30 November 2009, Filipino nationals transiting through New Zealand en route to other destinations will be exempt from securing transit visas.

Up until now, Filipinos transiting New Zealand (for instance changing planes) needed to hold a transit visa. This requirement will not apply from 30 November.

From that date, Filipinos won’t need a visa to transit New Zealand, provided they remain in the airport and their travel bookings show a stopover of no more than 24 hours. If they plan to stop over for more than 24 hours, or plan to leave the airport, they must apply for a visitor visa.

Advisory to Returning OFWs (Worker-On-Leave / Balik-Manggagawa)

In order to facilitate the issuance of POEA travel exit clearances (OECs) to returning OFWs during the Christmas and New Year Holiday Seasons, please be informed of the following:

The POEA Balik-Manggagawa Processing Division experiences a surge in the number of applicants for OECs at the start of the Christmas peak season. This number is double the usual of 1,000 per day. Congestion and security are major concerns at the POEA premises. Complicating this situation is the number of OFW applicants who have immediate flights. In order to pace, declog or deload the processing of OECs, the POEA advises the following:

1. OFWs who have just arrived are encouraged to apply for their OECs early either at the POEA Main Office or at the nearest POEA Regional Offices and Extension Units, or avail of the OEC delivery service, so that they can avoid last minute problems prior to their return flights.

2. Departing OFWs who will return during the Christmas season are encouraged to apply for their OECs at the Philippine Overseas Labor Offices (POLOs) in their host countries prior to coming home. Or, they may apply for their OECs at the POEA Main or Regional Offices early prior to their return flights to their host countries.

3. Regular processing of OECs has been discontinued at the NAIA Labor Assistance Center (LAC) except for weekend or emergency exit within 5 days from entry. OFWs must apply for their OECs with the POEA Main or Regional Offices prior to their return flights.

4. OFWs who have not yet registered with the POEA are advised to bring their contract and/or certificate of employment, and other proofs of employment in order to be documented and be issued an OEC.

5. OFWs to regularly check the POEA website, http://www.poea.gov.ph for advisories especially before they book their flights

Saudi requires OFWs to submit biometric data

Filipinos seeking to visit or work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) would need to provide biometric data as the Saudi Arabian government will be introducing a biometric system in the issuance of visa starting 2010.

The move is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to strengthen its security, prevent identity theft, and combat terrorism.

KSA’s biometric service centers would be established in major cities around the world starting 2010. There are about 1.3-million Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Saudi Arabia.

“This important initiative has been taken to strengthen the Kingdom’s security and improve services to visa applicants,” KSA Ministry of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Prince Khaled bin Saud said, adding that they would provide quick, quality service at reasonable charges.

“These service centers will be established with the support of one or more trading partners and they will be under the supervision of the Ministry and Saudi missions abroad,” he said. “The centers will not only receive visa applications but also take fingerprints and full-face digital photos of the applicant,” he added.

Maj. Gen. Salim Al-Belaihed, Director-General of the Passport Department, urged all foreign workers to get their biometric data registered as soon as possible so that they can avoid hassles in getting their re-entry visas stamped on time.

However, the Saudi Arabian government said the visa applicants should make sure they do not have any decoration such as henna tattoo, or any cuts or other markings on their fingertips before having their biometric data taken. They should also ensure they have no bruises or cuts in the face. The fingerprinting process only takes about five minutes.

The new biometric system is expected to get rid of the long queues and delays at airports for fingerprinting.

There are three fingerprinting centers in Jeddah. These centers are in Dalah Street in Rehab District, Saudi Oger Company in the Corniche District and Abruq Al-Raghama District. Each center can serve 2,000 people everyday.

The fingerprinting centers work in two shifts, the first is from 7 am to 3 pm and the second is from 4 pm to 10 pm. There are also mobile fingerprinting centers which the Passport Department sends to hospitals and large companies that have over 600 foreign workers.

It will be recalled that the United Kingdom (UK) warned of some disruptions in issuing passports in the Philippines as it aims to re-organize its passport operations worldwide.

Under the new system, Britons would have to renew their passports online.

The UK is the first European Union member country to adopt biometrics and has so far rolled out the procedure at its visa issuing centers in many countries worldwide.
