Employment and visa blacklist

Post new topic

formerexpats

Hi all,

I have work in the Philippines early this year for a brief 3 months. I was terminated due to poor performance and I have not been issued AEP for the 3 months period. The company said they will blacklist me from seeking employment in the same industry in the Philippines. I didn't mention this company in my resume since I only work for them for a brief 3 months. My passport just have the temporary work visa for that 3 months and it already expired on the following month after I'm back to my home country.

My questions are :

1) Do the company have the right to blacklist me from seeking employment in other same industry company?

2) Is there any way for the other same industry company to find out that I have worked in the Philippines before?

3) Will I be blacklisted by the Philippines immigration?

Hope that you all can answer me. Thanks

Hi,

The company have no right to blacklist you. You can be blacklisted only by the bureau of immigration due for having derogatory records. There is no working visa for only 3 months. The minimum is one year. That is why haven't issued an AEP Card. Short term assignments are required for Special work Permits.

Hi Libra1984, thanks for your answer. I want to know is there any way for my potential future Philippines employer to check whether I have been working in the Philippines before as an expats since I didn't include the company in my resume under the work experience part?

hi,

just would like to correct Libra1984's statement.
there is a 3 months special immigrant visa. usually the company will give you that 3 months visa to see how your performance is.

they dont have the right to blacklist you or from the country, as long as you didn't do any violation against the government law in the Philippines.

and you can't tell the next employer that you never work in the philippines before, they will know you're lying and will give you a worse result. you wouldnt have a working visa stamp on your passport if you haven't worked here ever in your life. so better be honest.

good luck :)

Appreciate the help of anyone who are able to answer my query as I have a few interviews with the Philippines companies and I'm also actively looking for a job in the Philippines.

Hi Amanda,

Let me correct you as well. As far as I know that the Special Immigrant Visas are as follows.
13A Non quota visa by marriage
TRV (Temporary Resident Visa)  Filipino nationals who were married with restricted nationalities


The 3 months short term of assignment of foreign national is actually securing them SWP (Special Work Permit) which is valid for maximum of 3 months and can be extendable for another 3 months whose tourist visa must also be valid during the entire stay in the country. It depends on the company if they will extend the employment and proceed for long term of visa.

Before you correct anyone's opinion here, please make it sure to yourself that you already done reading with the process and procedures of the parameters law of the Bureau of Immigration.

Thanks so much.
Libra.
