Sent you PM. Also - Monday is the worst day - too busy there. Time your arrival so you come in when the main bunch of the line has passed (usually around 2-4pm). Will get back to you on the fees later.wsongco said:
OEC

@ wsongco
BTW having an OEC exempts you from travel tax and the airport users fee. The OEC needs to be 'validated' at the POEA/OFW labor assistance counters at the airport (at NAIA - it is at the left side of the departure terminal - Terminal 1). Then you will be asked to present this upon airline check-in - for exemption of travel tax. Then after check-in - go to the designated counter for payment of airport user's fee - there is a special lane for OFW/TFWs. Present the OEC and the boarding pass, it will be stamped and a copy of the OEC left for your records will be returned with your boarding pass - no need to pay the airport fee...

"Returning workers have to pay Php100 for POEA processing fee; US$25 or its peso equivalent for OWWA contribution on a per contract coverage; Php1,200 for one year Philhealth coverage; and a minimum of Php100 contribution to Pag-ibig Fund"
Don't have my OEC with me - it has the fees in there before. I can send you what was assessed of me later.
It depends on how long have you work abroad. Because you need to pay the Pag-ibig, OWWA membership and so on. My first vacation was 2010 (and stayed abroad for 3.5 years) I paid P2,350. I went home 2011 and I only paid P100. And now I'm going home this December and got it at Labor Attache's Office here in Toronto and it cost me $4.03wsongco said:
Thanks
@ honeysweety why you only pay P100 last 2011? Im open wp holder no more employment contract. Never paid owwa and pag ibig. I work in taiwan then came to canada 2007.
@ honeysweety why you only pay P100 last 2011? Im open wp holder no more employment contract. Never paid owwa and pag ibig. I work in taiwan then came to canada 2007.
Here it is:
POEA processing fee: Php 100.00
OWWA membership: Php 1,067.50
Philhealth-Medicare: Php 900.00
PAG-IBIG-Medicare: Php 100.00
This was in May this year when I went back for a vacation after spending 17mos at work and the computation is based on the assessment made at the Balik-Manggagawa Center at POEA. They asked me for a copy of the EC which I did not have but my employment letter had the compensation specified - so most probably the assessment is based on that.
/best of luck to you...

do they also have the same thing with Cebu international airport? I'll be going december 8 and will be back on January 3, 2013. Just wondering if I won't have problem that I get my ticket straight to Cebu and back, not passing by Manila.
I didn't asked POEA anymore. My Receipt only shows Processing Fee Php100. (-: Maybe because I didn't pay OWWA Membership Fee when I exited way back 2006 because I entered Norway as visit visa.wsongco said:
The OEC actually exempts returning OFWs from the travel tax and airport tax. You only have to show your e-receipt at the airport. Cost would be a little over Php2000.00. Grants your dependents in the Philippines Philhealth benefits.
