Hello everyone!!!

I am from the Philippines and have been staying here in Maldives for 4 months now. So far so good, I like the resort where I work because it's just 1 and a half hour speed boat ride to reach Male. Fortunately, all is well and I certainly hope that it's the same situation for all you here too.

Cheers!!!

I am already here in Maldives, why do you have to wait that long for your passport, usually it will take a month to process it right? anyway, don't worry for sure you'll meet Filipinos there on your new company..

Hi there Yvette,

Thank you for replying. Ill be getting my passport on the 6th of July then after that the agency will process my documents as soon as i have my passport. Is it true that it will take 2 months to process papers? I'm so excited to work there but the agency prolonging my agony. Where do u live in Male?

Best regards,
Dionne

Mine is different, I am a direct hire from the company, and in 1 month I departed the Philippines as a tourist because of the urgency of the position so I didn't experience waiting and processing my papers. I live in a resort island, free accommodation, food, laundry, bars, restaurant dine in, everything is free. It's like working while having a vacation.. I liked it here. It's way different if you will be working in Male. Male is crowded and has more temptation to spend, for it has a lot of shop of everything you wish to buy.
