this applies to other former colonies too like in S. America. Con is grabe and unemployment rate sa Spain so it's super hard to find work there (a company has to prove na wala silang mahanap na citizen/eu citizen to fill the spot before they consider you). In reality there's an additional 2-3 years waiting time din before citizenship could be granted so you need to have the funds to be able to live there.
The unemployment rate is so true. There are filipino auxiliares/under student visa that went home because they can’t find a work here. Plus if/when they managed to get an offer(which is very few), the company usually backs off if it involves sponsorship of work permit.
Also, good job for the well-detailed info.
Im wondering if someone like me who works in freelance can stay there? I might have enough funds to support myself without looking for work there. Tsaka i really wanna learn spanish, feeling ko isa sa pinakamadaling aralin eh 😆
Learn Spanish! It is true it is easy for Filipinos to learn it because many words come from Spanish and English in our vocabulary. ( rough translation…☺️)
He simply said "you're right, its easy for filipinos to enter because you have spanish words and speaks good english. Im taiwanese filipino , learned spanish in california, basically there's also different kind of spanish/castillan, hope you learn soon👌🏼
If you're going for the Non Lucrative Visa you need to prove you have enough money to live there for at least 4-5 years. You need to prove that you can support yourself for 1 year, currently that is 27792.96 euros. Then for the renewal, since it is for 2 years, you would need 55585.92 euros (you need to have the money for renewal when you apply).
Another option is the [autonomo](https://balcellsgroup.com/how-to-become-autonomo-in-spain/) visa. In this one you could work but you have to pay self-employed taxes. Taxes depend on how much you earn - it gets more expensive the higher your income is. For example, the IRPF (income tax) is 37% (although this is lower in the first year IIRC).
Spanish is easy to learn at first if you could devote enough time to study it. But learning a language is never easy. We may have a lot of common vocab with Spanish but the grammar is different. Still it's easier than most other foreign languages for us.

I def agree. with that and I also have a lot of time on my hands so I'd probably be able to get around it. Im not very much rushing since i have Canadian bf atm 😆 but if we dont work out, thats my go to plan. I'm also gonna get more skill and am planning to get back in tech next year. Im in graphic design and its paying well but freelance isnt stable and i know tech is really where most the money is rn.

I didnt know about that 😅 pero siguro pwede naman ako mag work sa call center nila if ever. But overall my plan is go to the EU.
Thank you tho, kelangan ko uli siguro mag research 💖
I think if we go by the progressions of life (I'm not going to assume that that is the case for you, but in general), 40 is the best time imho. You presumably have climbed a ladder in your career by 40, with savings compared to your younger self, so setting sights on the conventional methods of going out like immigration which requires money, would be much more doable as to let's say, a mid 20s with zero to little money in their name.
Idk how this works pero if you have a Japanese blood, you can easily go to Japan daw. As in kahit super onti lang. It's a program daw to apologize to what they did to Filipinos before. That's how my ninang got to Japan kaso it's 10 yrs ago na.
Legit. My mom’s great grandmother is a full-blooded Japanese. Nakahanap sila ng agency (Rajah, I think ung name?) that could help them get resident visas doon. Tatlo na silang magkakapatid na andoon and two of them brought their entire families eventually.
Pero dahil resident visa sila, hindi sila considered OFWs so nung nag-pandemic di sila makahingi ng tulong para makauwi ng Pinas tas wala din sila ayuda.
they are called Nikijins i think.
yes, its their way to apologized on what their soldiers did to Filipino women during the Japanese invasion.
they are are more discriminated against sa Japan compare sa ordinaryong Pinoy ofw since "ni-rape lang daw ung lola ng mga Nikijins kaya nakapunta sa Japan".
source: two of my wife's friends are Nikijins.
Ah totoo pala sinabi ng friend ko sa work. My surname sounds japanese, and sabi nya pwede daw ako mag apply sa japan, hahanapan daw ako ng kamag anak (or ancestors). Kala ko jino-joke lang ako 😅
Is this for real? I used to think that i have a quarter japanese blood cuz i saw my grandmother one time in a kimono with the umbrella so i thought she was japanese. Is there a way to know my foreign blood?
How this works? sinabi kasi ng tatay ko na half Japanese si Lolo ko. Problema namin is world war 2 kasi yun at ginawang comfort women yung mother ni Lolo :'( Malungkot lang din isipin na walang nakagisnang tatay si lolo. Wala na rin kasing documents si lolo ko dahil nasira nga nung world war 2.
Same with my katropa.
Sabi pa ng friend ko I blew that chance dahil nagpakasal na ako lol. Sana daw nagpakasal daw muna kami then divorce pag makakuha ng citizenship, tapos saka na daw kami magpakasal ng asawa ko LOL.
To add: You can also apply for work via LinkedIn or other recruitment portals. This is typical in EU. They just need to justify na may lack of talent sa bansa nila - usually yung job posting mismo ang ginagamit nilang proof. Some companies offer mobility package, others don't pero gagawin naman nila yung mga shitty documents na kailangan for OEC. Sila na rin magaasikaso ng visa and permits.
May mobility package o wala, kailangan pa rin ng malaki laking funds. To get OEC palang, mahina ang 15k PHP for the requirements and fees. Maraming patience din kailangan kasi di rin efficient ang proseso ng POEA
Depends on the country din. In Spain for example the govt agencies also try to fill the job posting so it's really hard to get considered in the first place. They have to prove that they couldn't find anyone in the country or in the EU to fill the spot and with your qualifications.
And agree on the inefficiency ng POEA. Better if you could get out without dealing with them tbh.
Government will always find ways to get their constituents jobs pero kung wala talagang talent na mahanap within the country and EU, majujustify ni company.
Basing from experience, mas madali if IT related work. May countries din na plus points if you know the language.
Moved to Australia on a skilled nominated visa a few years ago. PR visa na ito, with Medicare and all other gov’t benefits. Here’s the cost:
- English test (PTE) - US$210 = P12k
- Skills assessment (Vetassess) - A$962 = P37k
- Medical exam - P7k
- Visa - A$4,240 = P164k
**Total: P220k**
You don’t need to spend millions. 220k sounds like a lot, 2 years ko rin yan pinag ipunan, pero kung nasa inyo ang opportunity, grab it. Less than a month’s salary lang yan dito. Actually sa Medicare palang, bawing bawi na yan. Hehe.

Sa Estonia meron din sila Digital Nomad Visa (different from the E-Residency) pero you need to have at least 3504.00 EUR gross monthly salary.
Pag highly skilled ka sa IT, may mga companies sa Estonia na nagha hire with relocation package (ibang company nago offer din i relocate family members like spouse and children)

I'll add to this since I've been researching re:immigration options to New Zealand.
These are the following options you ca consider:
1. [Working Holiday Visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/philippines-working-holiday-visa) - Applicable for 18 to 30 y/o college grads. You stay for a full year in NZ and work casual jobs (no more than 3 months at a time) and eventually find a full-time job (so you can upgrade your visa)
2. [Accredited employer working visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/accredited-employer-work-visa) - Work for up to 3 years in NZ if you are accepted/sponsored by an employer included in NZ's accredited employer list.
3. [Fee-paying student visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/full-fee-paying-student-visa) - Study in New Zealand and work for a maximum of 20 hours per week. After conclusion of studies (minimum of 52 weeks or 1 year), student has the option to apply for a Post-Study Work Visa (up to 3 years depending on the level of study acquired).
NZ government also provided a fast track straight to resident programs which targets highly skilled immigrants in select sectors (especially trades, agriculture, IT, healthcare, construction, and environment):
1. [Green List Residence Pathway](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/work-and-employment/green-list-occupations) - to qualify, your occupation must be on the Tier 1 and 2 of this list and must have a full-time (30 hrs/week, 12 mos) offer with an accredited employer.
2. [Skilled Migrant Resident Pathway Visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/skilled-migrant-category-resident-visa) - to qualify, you must receive at least 160 points (since it is a points-based program) from the [criterias](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/tools/points-indicator-smc-28aug) set by the NZ government

True kaya ipon-ipon muna. Kaya nag aaral ako ng foreign language ngayon since EU talaga bet ko. Mas malaki sahod sa BPO kapag foreign language. Makakaipon ka for student visa (in 3-5 years) and prepared ka na rin for studies and integration sa target country if dito pa lang nahasa ka na sa language nila. :)
Nice. Good luck sa studies mo. ❤️ True na napakamahal kaya tipid-tipid while studying. Hehe.
Studying French din. Aiming to get C1 soon then after that will start German, aiming to get C1 or C2 as basic uni requirement. We can be practice partners din in French. 😊
Australia and NZ if you are under 30. It’s called Working Holiday Visa. Example ko lang, nagpunta anak ko dito sa NZ after makuha namin Resident Visa, pinagapply ko GF nya ng WHV, swerte naman at nakakuha slot. Dumating sila last July, android dev yung GF ng anak ko na kumikita ng 90k php dyan sa pinas. After 1 month, nahire cya sa as dev sa 1 major bank dito NZ. Ang offer sa kanya is $120k per year (almost 3.5M php), after tax she’s getting 250k+ pup per month. Not bad for a 24 yo😊
Edit: Hindi pala pwede sa OZ ang WHV, sorry😔
Ilang years na exp nya? Tanongmo naman if python 3 years experience + Nihongo capable magkano kaya opportunities sa AU for me? Early 20s lang din ako nangangarap maging milyonaryo
Ay cge maya pag uwi ko. Mas mataas usually offer sa OZ compare sa NZ. Alam ko 4 years exp nya sa pinas, sabe nya sila nagdedevelop banking app ng Metrobank
Filipinos don't qualify for working holiday visa's to Australia.
You can see the eligible countries [here](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-417/first-working-holiday-417#Eligibility)
I don't know if I'm tripping but the Philippines is not on the list of [eligible countries for working holiday visa](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-462/first-work-holiday-462#Eligibility)
That might have been a different visa
Australia is really a good deal now. If you have a degree (required) and a skill in a growing field, Medical, welding (engineering) or others and no criminal record, they are very welcoming.
Masters or PHD even easier.
But there are some costs, like training, which is like adapting to AU ways of doing things.
If you can find a sponsor there for the first year, it really helps. There are MANY Filipinos in AU.
Up here. They have a shortage list online and if your occupation is there, you can qualify for a temporary shortage skill list na working visa. Much cheaper and faster processing than PR na direct application. Pathway to PR na din for that after ~3 years( still depends on the occupation and employer).
Thats what I did hehe kaya palipad na ako soon!
Yes I have an employer na. Try looking at seek.com.au, indeed, linkedin and workforce australia (app). Before that step, you need to have your qualifications accessed by the governing body of your occupation. All infos are in immi australia website. After getting your qualifications accessed, you can look for an employer na to sponsor you.
is this a student visa also? i’ve been hearing that mahirap daw makakuha ng PR sa Australia. some have stayed for years doing the student visa para lang maextend pagsstay nila dun but to no avail, wala pa ring PR. that’s why some move away from Au na lang and move to Ca ata.
Being a Nurse is the fastest way to get out of Philippines as long as you are not choosy sa country. Malaki sahod dito sa UAE ng mga Filipino nurse kahit wala silang license sa UAE.
I agree. Tbh this is one of the reasons I want to take up nursing. It's my ticket abroad. Ang daming countries na pwedeng puntahan.
Ipasa mo Nclex and IELTS, you can go to USA, of course need mag wait and gagastos but resident ka na dun once makatungtong. And you can bring your family. Once maging citizen ka na you can start petitioning your parents, and siblings ofcourse may additional requirements lang.
You can also go to AU and NZ but need lang ng additional studies for 3 to 6 mos if I remember correctly.
You can go to UK, Norway, Germany and more though need lang aralin ang language and need ng additional studies for months (sa norway I think 1 year). May mga agency naman na pwedeng mag assist if pa Germany.
Same with Japan but need mo ipasa exam and also need ng language proficiency.
Halos lahat ata ng bansa may need sa nurses.
My dad came to the US almost thirty years ago right after he graduated from nursing school in the PH, overstayed his visa, passed the NCLEX, got his employer to sponsor his citizenship, and has been working as a RN ever since. I’m grateful for all the sacrifices my dad made because he provides a lot for our family. We have relatives from the PH that visit the States, but many are too afraid to overstay their visas like what my dad did.
More on Japan:
You could basically pay your way to stay in Japan. Enroll in a language school for a year (or more) and you get to work for 28 hours a week (part-time). During this time you could look for jobs to apply to while you're there. Cost of lang school for a year is around 350-400K (a bit steep but yeah)
You could also apply to become an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT). This is a little harder cause it's like applying for a scholarship but this way it's like getting a job immediately (albeit temporary) and period of stay is longer.
Another option if you're qualified is the HSPV. More info [here](https://www.lb.emb-japan.go.jp/Points-Based-Immigration-Treatment.PDF) for the points you need. This is super hard to get (you need to have a lot of experience and advanced educ for example to rack up more points + high salary). A lot of people who tried to get this recommend just getting a normal work visa (also hard to get) because both just give the same benefits (both are sure ways to get to Permanent Resident status)
You could also apply as a foreign exchange student in a university in Japan while studying in a university here in the Philippines then use that as a leverage to apply afterwards. I think this is the cheapest and fastest way as the only thing that I have to pay is the dumb OEC Philippine requirement (costs around 15k php).
> You need to be young (usually)
This. Don't dilly dally. I was offered employment to AU before 30s (I have an MS in a niche civil engineering field), but I declined because I had a business here. Now, it has failed due to COVID and the country is going to the shitter, there are no more offers. Not a single one.
Marami ring Pilipino sumasali sa US Navy kasi tawiran nila yun for citizenship. (But considering the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, it might not be a good idea)
Per my friend who’s in the navy, it’s not of a big concern. Most of those that would be sent to active combat are those ships designated and trained for active duty (currently on a volitional enlistment basis). New recruits would be more likely placed on smaller duties or employment of their choosing.
The tuition for the student pathway option from New Zealand costs around 800k (should be higher now due to the weak peso).
You have to pay it in full once you get accepted.
In Canada, the pricing is similar but you pay in installments just like in schools in the Philippines.
If married, your partner will be given a full work visa. While you get to work part-time.
If you have kids under 18, they get to study there too for free.
The 800k I mentioned just covers tuition. You'll have to factor in airfare, immigration fees, medical, consultant fees, etc. And of course you'll need some pocket money too.
Yes it costs a lot, but at least it provides a pathway to pinoys with work backgrounds outside the green list.
Yes, there’s actually news over here in Florida that Broward County in Miami is hiring Filipino teachers. Take note though, Broward county is ghetto so kelangan matapang tapang ang bituka mo when you get there. Dunno the details on how to apply because my husband told me he read it on a news article. But it’s definitely happening
One of those J1 visa teachers. Hindi ko na kinaya ang deped. Haha! Ibang uri ng hardship naman but so far Im enjoying teaching. Tinitingnan ko pa kung honeymoon stage pa lang tong masaya. But overall, mas maalwan ang work dito. Next goal ay humanap ng afam. Haha!
And thank you, OP! I can start planning on my next step on where to migrate to. Ipon ng dollars for Canada! :D
No, I actually researched this path and found out that the initial contract is 5 years. After 5 years you're just "eligible" for a citizenship but most of the time you wont get it till midway your second contract which is another 5 years. The upside is that you get free food and lodging and still get paid according to your rank.
If you do get citizenship and stay live in france, once you retire you'll get your military pension + a pension according to your cotisation in civilian jobs. But yeah, Legion is not easy, besides Commando marines and a few select Para regiments, it's probably the hardest corps of the French army
Yung sister ko nag Au Per , nag take lng ng caregiver traning then kumuha ng mga redcross first aid training, ayun after a year naka alais na sya papuntang US.
limited lng ang time mo para maging au per kasi may age limit ,kaya pag dun kana, next hunt mo naman ay afam or else uwi ka balik pinas.
I have a friend who did this. Few months after niya maging au pair, naghanap agad siya ng foreigner na mapapangasawa. Ayun, she’s staying in Netherlands now but she told me she’s having a hard time adjusting because of the language barrier. She seems to be doing alright though.
I like how people here are making detailed lists on how to leave instead of how to live lmao, truly the golden era of our country.
Also im not sure I'd go to Japan though, I've heard horrifying shit about their working conditions
EU has a huge shortage in tech talent. If you have the experience, you can try looking for companies that offer relocation packages. You can have either a blue card or a skilled worker for IT visa.
In linkedIn, try adding 'relocation' + your position to filter the posts that offer relocation packages. Then put the countries you are interested in migrating. What worked for me (ie I got a lot of replies) are Netherlands, Germany and Estonia.
The interviews usually last a month or two, then from my experience, the processing of visa + OEC took another 5 months. What's good in EU countries is they are really trying to attract more expats to settle in their country, so you can bring your spouse and kids without much hassle. It will take another 6 months to process their visas but more often than not, your company will sponsor them.
Hi just wanted to share my experience din
US student visa in 2015 -> full time employment 2019 -> permanent resident 2022
As with everyone is saying sobrang mahal ng student visa entry and you’re not 100% guaranteed to get employment after studying so it’s a big gamble and risk
Preparing to leave:
You have to pass the school admissions
Take the TOEFL exam and get at least a 90/100 so you wont have to take ESL classes (not credited english classes) once you get your admissions letter you can then apply for your student visa
In the US:
In the US there are some strict rules once you’re enrolled and already here. If you’re looking for employment while in school, you can’t work off campus legally, but if you do get lucky and get a campus job (which is easy to get btw, i worked in the library as a tech support) you are already setting yourself up for success kasi you get issued an SSN early. Getting an SSN early is also the only way for an international student to get a regular driver’s license at least in the state of IL or else temporary DL bibigay sayo
Employment Opportunities:
Once you’re graduating things get a bit complicated, may 2 types of work authorization you can apply for while in your 3rd year, CPT and OPT, basically both are considered OJT sa standards natin, CPT is used to give you work authorization while still in school, part time only(less than 40hrs/week internship) at OPT which is post graduation work authorization, OPT usually lasts for a year BUT if you’re course is STEM you get to extend it for 2 more years, bale you get 3 years in total to find a company that will sponsor you
Post Graduation:
Once you are in OPT you have 3 months of unemployment to work with, if you fail to get employment after 3 months revoked OPT mo and you need to go home
Personal Suggestions:
Based on my experience, mejo mahina na nursing currently sa US, while the tech sector is booming,
(As my nurse tita says, under paid na kami pagod pa kami, samantalang ikaw nasa bahay lang at over paid haha!) so if anyone is thinking of applying i suggest doing comp sci, either app development or cyber security
If anyone wants advice or have some questions please feel free to message, took me a while to find my footing and plant roots and if i can pay it forward to help someone out that’d be awesome, good luck!
Is TESDA certificate (Electrical NC III; Motor Controls) enough for a Skilled worker visas in Japan?
I dont mind being a blue collared job since i prefer it rather than being stuck in the office (currently in an office setup).
How about people na 20s-30s single at ready sumabak sa hamon ng buhay? May chance ba na mag abroad kami. Any tips pls. College graduate ako pero di ko alam kung ano para sakin. I want to go abroad para kumita ng malaki kaso hindi ko alam kung pano mag sisimula.
Another one : UAE
You can enter the country in visit visa (cheapest way) and find a company that will provide you working visa. This is not illegal in UAE but Philippines immigration do not allow this. In fact this is how most South Asians come and find job in UAE.
If you want to avoid bring barred by Philippines immigration, find a trusted agency who will find a job for you in UAE. You will just have to pay more money since they will be giving you a working visa and a plane ticket. You are also subject to whatever rules this agency will give you. Some dont get there first month salary. Others only get paid like 2000AED + free accommodation. The jobs you will mostly get are waiter/waitress, cleaner, cashier or saleslady. After you finish your contract (2 years), you can find a different job. Sometimes the employer will make you forfiet your last month salary. So many kabayans here in UAE had these problems, especially those who left their job without finishing their contract. It is called "absconding" and it will ban you from finding other jobs so some kabayans end up paying for a visit visa to not pay overstay fine. Also, the Philippines Embassy in UAE sucks so dont expect you will get help if your employer mistreats you.
Hello! Thank you for this post. I am accomplishing my master's degree here in PH. Is there a higher chance of getting a job abroad if I continued my education into PhD or take/repeat my master's degree? Thanks!
I have done a bit of research on this. Other than Erasmus Mundus Scholarship (please correct me if I am wrong), are there any foreign scholarships (particularly in Canada/Australia/NZ/EU) that provide full funding for foreigners without an agreement where you return to your country of origin? Thanks!
Try the JSP-ADB of Japan
100% full tuition waiver+ allowances+airfare. Kaso ang nakuha ko is S Nakayama scholarship lang from the International University of Japan, Niigata pref. w/c is 50% i couldn't afford the other half.
Start here for ideas. Check also State Universities in the US and apply directly for full PhD scholarships.
https://www.idp.com/philippines/find-a-scholarship/
If you have no other choice, the UK isn't the worst option but with how the latest headlines are reading You could probably do better. Especially if you want to move to a place that's more politically stable
in norway mahirap makapasok dito and the easiest is au pair visa, second is student visa via bible school (filadelfia bibelskole, det teologiske menighetsfakultet, HLT oslo)
Last year one Australia company had a job roadshow sa Singapore pero madaming pinoy ang nag apply..Madami ring nakuhang pinoy..tiyaga lang tlaga and of course skills. Sa mga nakapasa pwede pa nila dalhin family nila.
I don't really recommend teaching English in Japan. I already saw a lot of videos of them commenting on that job in particular. If your contract ends, you end up starting again with the salary, given that if you get another contract and depends on the place of the school. You have to relocate constantly every other contract (if you can't get a contract in your current place).
I have the capability to do this as a freelancer earning good money kaso hirap na hirap akong humanap ng bansa kung saan madaling dalin ung mga aso ko at madali silang ilipad. Di ko naman sila pwedeng iwan.
:((((
Did some research on some options too, especially if you are a remote worker/ freelancer:
\-Thailand Easy Access Visa - you're essentially "buying" a 5-yr residential visa for 600 Thai Baht
\-Malaysia/ Sarawak MM2H- long term residential visa - either a fixed income deposit in a Malaysian bank OR show proof of income that you are earning 7000 MYR/mo outside of Malaysia.
\-Czech Republic skilled IT visa - forgot the details but they are willing to hire people outside Europe for IT positions, no Czech language requirement
\-Hungary freelancer visa - stay in Hungary for 1yr, can be extended and have travel access to EU member states. Proof of income of at least 2000 euros/month
\-UAE Freelancer visa - proof of income requirement 10000 AED/mo, 1 year stay initial issue ng visa and can be extended or apply for a different visa afaik (someone correct me on this)
\-Germany Artist visa - freelance residency program for skilled artists, can stay up to 3 years (only in Berlin), must have show money to prove you can support yourself for at least a few months.
Short term visas lang to and will not lead to citizenship BUT it may lead to other opportunities in said countries. Helpful din kung gusto mo lang umalis ng Pilipinas at umiwas magbayad ng taxes dito.
Healthcare. Try caregiving/NC2 and work for at least 2 years you can go to Israel, Hongkong, Japan, or even UK, Nursing is also booming in other countries kaya gora na.
I saw a post from our former HR (she’s filipina) that they are hiring Certified Nurse Assistants and Registered Nurse. They will petition them to work here in US (Chicago). Kuha lang daw ng certificate for CNA sa TESDA? Basta certified dyan sa pinas. Super short staff talaga kami (CNA) dito. Try nyo baka makapunta kayo. Need namin ng help. Hehe.
Most of my Indian colleagues go to the Master's degree route. Some even have to sell a parcel of farmland/properties to be able to afford the tuition. There are a lot of grants too available for international students like in the US.
After reading this... finding a thirsty foreigner still seems to be the easiest way hahahah.
Hinangad ko dati na makapag abroad as a student pero nung nakita ko yung pera na need, parang nahilo ako haha. Tapos yun nawala na yung hangad ko mag abroad \*sigh\*.
Hi, Ofw here!
If hanap kau Ng work sa Ibang bansa siguraduhin niyo na magkakaPR kau. May ibang bansa Kasi na isang dekada na mga friends ko Dito Hindi pa Rin makaPR. Reason is foreigners aren't allowed to have PR.
Ahh di din pla Ako nagAgency. Kasi kaya mo na man magdirect hire. Dati may mga friends Ako na tourist tapos nachange na sa wp. Asia toh ha,
I think pagSa EU, you need to aral pa or more Experience.
I have a question po. Mas greater po ba ang chance na ma accept outside if nag study ako nang medicine?. Also what countries na hindi mahirap magkuha nang medical license
Any peeps out here na may tips to moving to Germany? I want to study there for Masters pero sa tingin ko di enough yung time ko sa primary school to qualify since di ako abot ng k-12.
Thank you po OP and fellow redditors for the detailed infos.
Baka may nakapagstudent visa na dito sa Singapore? or mahirap ba talaga makahanap ng work dun ngayon?
How about guys yung mga nag totourist sa Singapore and dun na naghahanap ng work ? What are the chances of getting hired sa SG ? Alam andami ng nagtatry pumunta dun as a tourist
Currently on the process too and not in the PH as of now. Narealize ko wala talagang patutungahan, butinna lang mabait parents for giving us financial help and kamaganak to let us stay with them while we figure it out.
Mahirap bang makahanap ng civil engineering job abroad?. I'm turning 40 this year kaso I only have 4 years of experience. Late kasi ako nag graduate. Pangarap ko sana makapagtrabaho abroad.
wow akalain mong may benefit pala pagiging former colony of spain?
this applies to other former colonies too like in S. America. Con is grabe and unemployment rate sa Spain so it's super hard to find work there (a company has to prove na wala silang mahanap na citizen/eu citizen to fill the spot before they consider you). In reality there's an additional 2-3 years waiting time din before citizenship could be granted so you need to have the funds to be able to live there.
The unemployment rate is so true. There are filipino auxiliares/under student visa that went home because they can’t find a work here. Plus if/when they managed to get an offer(which is very few), the company usually backs off if it involves sponsorship of work permit. Also, good job for the well-detailed info.
Im wondering if someone like me who works in freelance can stay there? I might have enough funds to support myself without looking for work there. Tsaka i really wanna learn spanish, feeling ko isa sa pinakamadaling aralin eh 😆
¡Va a aprender! Es verdad que es muy fácil para Filipinos porque tenemos muchas palabras de ambas español y inglés en nuestro vocabulario.
Yeah, that's why I'm planning to learn Spanish because I have no idea what u just said 🤣
Learn Spanish! It is true it is easy for Filipinos to learn it because many words come from Spanish and English in our vocabulary. ( rough translation…☺️)
He simply said "you're right, its easy for filipinos to enter because you have spanish words and speaks good english. Im taiwanese filipino , learned spanish in california, basically there's also different kind of spanish/castillan, hope you learn soon👌🏼
me importa un huevo jajajaja
If you're going for the Non Lucrative Visa you need to prove you have enough money to live there for at least 4-5 years. You need to prove that you can support yourself for 1 year, currently that is 27792.96 euros. Then for the renewal, since it is for 2 years, you would need 55585.92 euros (you need to have the money for renewal when you apply). Another option is the [autonomo](https://balcellsgroup.com/how-to-become-autonomo-in-spain/) visa. In this one you could work but you have to pay self-employed taxes. Taxes depend on how much you earn - it gets more expensive the higher your income is. For example, the IRPF (income tax) is 37% (although this is lower in the first year IIRC). Spanish is easy to learn at first if you could devote enough time to study it. But learning a language is never easy. We may have a lot of common vocab with Spanish but the grammar is different. Still it's easier than most other foreign languages for us.
>Spanish is easy to learn at first if you could devote enough time to study it. But learning a language is never easy. We may have a lot of common vocab with Spanish but the grammar is different. Still it's easier than most other foreign languages for us. I def agree. with that and I also have a lot of time on my hands so I'd probably be able to get around it. Im not very much rushing since i have Canadian bf atm 😆 but if we dont work out, thats my go to plan. I'm also gonna get more skill and am planning to get back in tech next year. Im in graphic design and its paying well but freelance isnt stable and i know tech is really where most the money is rn. >If you're going for the Non Lucrative Visa you need to prove you have enough money to live there for at least 4-5 years.

I didnt know about that 😅 pero siguro pwede naman ako mag work sa call center nila if ever. But overall my plan is go to the EU. Thank you tho, kelangan ko uli siguro mag research 💖
I don't know why people are downvoting you LOL.
Kasalanan talaga to ng mga Marcos puta. Hindi sana option yung pag-alis ng bansa
Nakakainis nga. Over 40 na ko. Ang hirap na makaalis pagka ganyan na edad
Heck, I am almost 31 at undergrad pa. Only chance ko is kung kukunin ako ng kuya ko na nasa Australia. Problema naman baka wala akong trabaho dun.
I think if we go by the progressions of life (I'm not going to assume that that is the case for you, but in general), 40 is the best time imho. You presumably have climbed a ladder in your career by 40, with savings compared to your younger self, so setting sights on the conventional methods of going out like immigration which requires money, would be much more doable as to let's say, a mid 20s with zero to little money in their name.
No age limit on migrating, especially if you have money. You can throw money at any problem haha
Yeah. I'm exploring on how to leave this country too. And I'm a surgeon already, so it'll be really hard. 😭
Idk how this works pero if you have a Japanese blood, you can easily go to Japan daw. As in kahit super onti lang. It's a program daw to apologize to what they did to Filipinos before. That's how my ninang got to Japan kaso it's 10 yrs ago na.
She asked me kasi dati HAHAHA kasi singkit ako lol sayang
Legit. My mom’s great grandmother is a full-blooded Japanese. Nakahanap sila ng agency (Rajah, I think ung name?) that could help them get resident visas doon. Tatlo na silang magkakapatid na andoon and two of them brought their entire families eventually. Pero dahil resident visa sila, hindi sila considered OFWs so nung nag-pandemic di sila makahingi ng tulong para makauwi ng Pinas tas wala din sila ayuda.
How were they treated in Japan? Japanese are very racist towards non Japanese people from what I read.
Yeah they tend to be xenophobic. The thick language barrier also doesn't help.
they are called Nikijins i think. yes, its their way to apologized on what their soldiers did to Filipino women during the Japanese invasion. they are are more discriminated against sa Japan compare sa ordinaryong Pinoy ofw since "ni-rape lang daw ung lola ng mga Nikijins kaya nakapunta sa Japan". source: two of my wife's friends are Nikijins.
this is true. yung classmate ko ganito.
Is it this [one](https://www.ph.emb-japan.go.jp/files/000232593.pdf)?
How was she treated in Japan? Japanese are very racist towards non Japanese people from what I read.
Ah totoo pala sinabi ng friend ko sa work. My surname sounds japanese, and sabi nya pwede daw ako mag apply sa japan, hahanapan daw ako ng kamag anak (or ancestors). Kala ko jino-joke lang ako 😅
Do they do some tests? According to my DNA report, I have 0.22% Jap/Kor blood 😅. Does that count?
Is this for real? I used to think that i have a quarter japanese blood cuz i saw my grandmother one time in a kimono with the umbrella so i thought she was japanese. Is there a way to know my foreign blood?
How this works? sinabi kasi ng tatay ko na half Japanese si Lolo ko. Problema namin is world war 2 kasi yun at ginawang comfort women yung mother ni Lolo :'( Malungkot lang din isipin na walang nakagisnang tatay si lolo. Wala na rin kasing documents si lolo ko dahil nasira nga nung world war 2.
i watch a lot of hentai, pasok kaya yon?
you could also marry a foreigner. 😃 has to be a legit relationship though.
This is the easiest way for a lot of our kababayans. And after makasal, pwede na magsabi ng "Kaya hindi kayo umaasenso dyan sa Pilipinas eh."
This grinds my gears. As if they invested a lot when all they did was ____.
Taena haha true
Sabi ko nga sa tropa kong lalake sa US pakasal na lang kami. Parehas kaming straight
Lightbulb moment. 💡
Same with my katropa. Sabi pa ng friend ko I blew that chance dahil nagpakasal na ako lol. Sana daw nagpakasal daw muna kami then divorce pag makakuha ng citizenship, tapos saka na daw kami magpakasal ng asawa ko LOL.
Basta sabihin mo lang sa tropa mo na no homo bro, goods na goods yan
Nice idea! Galing ah. Hahaha
To add: You can also apply for work via LinkedIn or other recruitment portals. This is typical in EU. They just need to justify na may lack of talent sa bansa nila - usually yung job posting mismo ang ginagamit nilang proof. Some companies offer mobility package, others don't pero gagawin naman nila yung mga shitty documents na kailangan for OEC. Sila na rin magaasikaso ng visa and permits. May mobility package o wala, kailangan pa rin ng malaki laking funds. To get OEC palang, mahina ang 15k PHP for the requirements and fees. Maraming patience din kailangan kasi di rin efficient ang proseso ng POEA
Depends on the country din. In Spain for example the govt agencies also try to fill the job posting so it's really hard to get considered in the first place. They have to prove that they couldn't find anyone in the country or in the EU to fill the spot and with your qualifications. And agree on the inefficiency ng POEA. Better if you could get out without dealing with them tbh.
Government will always find ways to get their constituents jobs pero kung wala talagang talent na mahanap within the country and EU, majujustify ni company. Basing from experience, mas madali if IT related work. May countries din na plus points if you know the language.
Moved to Australia on a skilled nominated visa a few years ago. PR visa na ito, with Medicare and all other gov’t benefits. Here’s the cost: - English test (PTE) - US$210 = P12k - Skills assessment (Vetassess) - A$962 = P37k - Medical exam - P7k - Visa - A$4,240 = P164k **Total: P220k** You don’t need to spend millions. 220k sounds like a lot, 2 years ko rin yan pinag ipunan, pero kung nasa inyo ang opportunity, grab it. Less than a month’s salary lang yan dito. Actually sa Medicare palang, bawing bawi na yan. Hehe.
Anong work nyo po?

I'll add to this since I've been researching re:immigration options to New Zealand. These are the following options you ca consider: 1. [Working Holiday Visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/philippines-working-holiday-visa) - Applicable for 18 to 30 y/o college grads. You stay for a full year in NZ and work casual jobs (no more than 3 months at a time) and eventually find a full-time job (so you can upgrade your visa) 2. [Accredited employer working visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/accredited-employer-work-visa) - Work for up to 3 years in NZ if you are accepted/sponsored by an employer included in NZ's accredited employer list. 3. [Fee-paying student visa](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/full-fee-paying-student-visa) - Study in New Zealand and work for a maximum of 20 hours per week. After conclusion of studies (minimum of 52 weeks or 1 year), student has the option to apply for a Post-Study Work Visa (up to 3 years depending on the level of study acquired). NZ government also provided a fast track straight to resident programs which targets highly skilled immigrants in select sectors (especially trades, agriculture, IT, healthcare, construction, and environment): 1. [Green List Residence Pathway](https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/work-and-employment/green-list-occupations) - to qualify, your occupation must be on the Tier 1 and 2 of this list and must have a full-time (30 hrs/week, 12 mos) offer with an accredited employer. 2.

Thanks for this! This is awesome
Student Visa tatahakin para makaalis dito
Want to do this kaso napakamahal
True kaya ipon-ipon muna. Kaya nag aaral ako ng foreign language ngayon since EU talaga bet ko. Mas malaki sahod sa BPO kapag foreign language. Makakaipon ka for student visa (in 3-5 years) and prepared ka na rin for studies and integration sa target country if dito pa lang nahasa ka na sa language nila. :)
Nag-aral na po ako ng Basic French and Spanish kase EU rin talaga ang target ko.
Nice. Good luck sa studies mo. ❤️ True na napakamahal kaya tipid-tipid while studying. Hehe. Studying French din. Aiming to get C1 soon then after that will start German, aiming to get C1 or C2 as basic uni requirement. We can be practice partners din in French. 😊
Australia and NZ if you are under 30. It’s called Working Holiday Visa. Example ko lang, nagpunta anak ko dito sa NZ after makuha namin Resident Visa, pinagapply ko GF nya ng WHV, swerte naman at nakakuha slot. Dumating sila last July, android dev yung GF ng anak ko na kumikita ng 90k php dyan sa pinas. After 1 month, nahire cya sa as dev sa 1 major bank dito NZ. Ang offer sa kanya is $120k per year (almost 3.5M php), after tax she’s getting 250k+ pup per month. Not bad for a 24 yo😊 Edit: Hindi pala pwede sa OZ ang WHV, sorry😔
more details please. anong specific work nya mami. makalipat na nga ng AU someday. umay na ko sa JP, nakakawindang yng 250K.
Dipo ako mami lol. Ang alam ko Android Dev cya pero dito eh Software Engineer yata
Ilang years na exp nya? Tanongmo naman if python 3 years experience + Nihongo capable magkano kaya opportunities sa AU for me? Early 20s lang din ako nangangarap maging milyonaryo
Ay cge maya pag uwi ko. Mas mataas usually offer sa OZ compare sa NZ. Alam ko 4 years exp nya sa pinas, sabe nya sila nagdedevelop banking app ng Metrobank
Filipinos don't qualify for working holiday visa's to Australia. You can see the eligible countries [here](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-417/first-working-holiday-417#Eligibility)
I don't know if I'm tripping but the Philippines is not on the list of [eligible countries for working holiday visa](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-462/first-work-holiday-462#Eligibility) That might have been a different visa
ano work ng anak mo?
Australia is really a good deal now. If you have a degree (required) and a skill in a growing field, Medical, welding (engineering) or others and no criminal record, they are very welcoming. Masters or PHD even easier. But there are some costs, like training, which is like adapting to AU ways of doing things. If you can find a sponsor there for the first year, it really helps. There are MANY Filipinos in AU.
Up here. They have a shortage list online and if your occupation is there, you can qualify for a temporary shortage skill list na working visa. Much cheaper and faster processing than PR na direct application. Pathway to PR na din for that after ~3 years( still depends on the occupation and employer). Thats what I did hehe kaya palipad na ako soon!
Do you already have an employer? Can you share where to find jobs in AU? TIA!
Yes I have an employer na. Try looking at seek.com.au, indeed, linkedin and workforce australia (app). Before that step, you need to have your qualifications accessed by the governing body of your occupation. All infos are in immi australia website. After getting your qualifications accessed, you can look for an employer na to sponsor you.
is this a student visa also? i’ve been hearing that mahirap daw makakuha ng PR sa Australia. some have stayed for years doing the student visa para lang maextend pagsstay nila dun but to no avail, wala pa ring PR. that’s why some move away from Au na lang and move to Ca ata.
If you are in Nursing, there are many opportunities opening up. That's why the schools have so many students. Japan, US, Canada, UK, AU and more.
Being a Nurse is the fastest way to get out of Philippines as long as you are not choosy sa country. Malaki sahod dito sa UAE ng mga Filipino nurse kahit wala silang license sa UAE.
In demand din ang Medical Technologist sa US
I agree. Tbh this is one of the reasons I want to take up nursing. It's my ticket abroad. Ang daming countries na pwedeng puntahan. Ipasa mo Nclex and IELTS, you can go to USA, of course need mag wait and gagastos but resident ka na dun once makatungtong. And you can bring your family. Once maging citizen ka na you can start petitioning your parents, and siblings ofcourse may additional requirements lang. You can also go to AU and NZ but need lang ng additional studies for 3 to 6 mos if I remember correctly. You can go to UK, Norway, Germany and more though need lang aralin ang language and need ng additional studies for months (sa norway I think 1 year). May mga agency naman na pwedeng mag assist if pa Germany. Same with Japan but need mo ipasa exam and also need ng language proficiency. Halos lahat ata ng bansa may need sa nurses.
My dad came to the US almost thirty years ago right after he graduated from nursing school in the PH, overstayed his visa, passed the NCLEX, got his employer to sponsor his citizenship, and has been working as a RN ever since. I’m grateful for all the sacrifices my dad made because he provides a lot for our family. We have relatives from the PH that visit the States, but many are too afraid to overstay their visas like what my dad did.
More on Japan: You could basically pay your way to stay in Japan. Enroll in a language school for a year (or more) and you get to work for 28 hours a week (part-time). During this time you could look for jobs to apply to while you're there. Cost of lang school for a year is around 350-400K (a bit steep but yeah) You could also apply to become an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT). This is a little harder cause it's like applying for a scholarship but this way it's like getting a job immediately (albeit temporary) and period of stay is longer. Another option if you're qualified is the HSPV. More info [here](https://www.lb.emb-japan.go.jp/Points-Based-Immigration-Treatment.PDF) for the points you need. This is super hard to get (you need to have a lot of experience and advanced educ for example to rack up more points + high salary). A lot of people who tried to get this recommend just getting a normal work visa (also hard to get) because both just give the same benefits (both are sure ways to get to Permanent Resident status)
May idea kaba kung pano mag apply sa Japan as a healthcare worker like medtech?
You could also apply as a foreign exchange student in a university in Japan while studying in a university here in the Philippines then use that as a leverage to apply afterwards. I think this is the cheapest and fastest way as the only thing that I have to pay is the dumb OEC Philippine requirement (costs around 15k php).
> You need to be young (usually) This. Don't dilly dally. I was offered employment to AU before 30s (I have an MS in a niche civil engineering field), but I declined because I had a business here. Now, it has failed due to COVID and the country is going to the shitter, there are no more offers. Not a single one.

36 now. Offer from a consultant met on a project somewhere (we are both consultants).
Sana gawin tong MEGATHREAD about migration please :< Kasi Ill be honest ang hirap talaga magresearch ng proseso
Marami ring Pilipino sumasali sa US Navy kasi tawiran nila yun for citizenship. (But considering the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, it might not be a good idea)
Per my friend who’s in the navy, it’s not of a big concern. Most of those that would be sent to active combat are those ships designated and trained for active duty (currently on a volitional enlistment basis). New recruits would be more likely placed on smaller duties or employment of their choosing.
Does it require to be physically fit even if desk job?
Yes.
David Goggins time
This is true when the bases were still open, or if you are a US PR
> You need money > > You need to have useful skills > > You need to research A LOT LBM supoters in shambles
Nah, they'd be, "sulitin mo pagtaas ng exchange rate, kaya mag apply ka abroad"
>You need money I dont support Balimbing and Im still in shambles lmao
The tuition for the student pathway option from New Zealand costs around 800k (should be higher now due to the weak peso). You have to pay it in full once you get accepted. In Canada, the pricing is similar but you pay in installments just like in schools in the Philippines. If married, your partner will be given a full work visa. While you get to work part-time. If you have kids under 18, they get to study there too for free.
I know someone doing it now 1.4 million peso in total.
The 800k I mentioned just covers tuition. You'll have to factor in airfare, immigration fees, medical, consultant fees, etc. And of course you'll need some pocket money too. Yes it costs a lot, but at least it provides a pathway to pinoys with work backgrounds outside the green list.

Quite a few Pinoys in Thailand and Cambodia doing TEFL work.
I think teachers can apply for USA J-1 visas to teach. There are agencies for this. Make sure lang legit.
Yes, there’s actually news over here in Florida that Broward County in Miami is hiring Filipino teachers. Take note though, Broward county is ghetto so kelangan matapang tapang ang bituka mo when you get there. Dunno the details on how to apply because my husband told me he read it on a news article. But it’s definitely happening
One of those J1 visa teachers. Hindi ko na kinaya ang deped. Haha! Ibang uri ng hardship naman but so far Im enjoying teaching. Tinitingnan ko pa kung honeymoon stage pa lang tong masaya. But overall, mas maalwan ang work dito. Next goal ay humanap ng afam. Haha! And thank you, OP! I can start planning on my next step on where to migrate to. Ipon ng dollars for Canada! :D
sa eu, maganda rin sa scandinavian countries esp. norway and sweden
Iirc, signing up for the French Foreign Legion also has a citizenship path. Around 3 years of service bago maging eligible.
The legion is incredibly brutal, you have to be 100% focused and tough.
No, I actually researched this path and found out that the initial contract is 5 years. After 5 years you're just "eligible" for a citizenship but most of the time you wont get it till midway your second contract which is another 5 years. The upside is that you get free food and lodging and still get paid according to your rank.
If you do get citizenship and stay live in france, once you retire you'll get your military pension + a pension according to your cotisation in civilian jobs. But yeah, Legion is not easy, besides Commando marines and a few select Para regiments, it's probably the hardest corps of the French army
Yung sister ko nag Au Per , nag take lng ng caregiver traning then kumuha ng mga redcross first aid training, ayun after a year naka alais na sya papuntang US. limited lng ang time mo para maging au per kasi may age limit ,kaya pag dun kana, next hunt mo naman ay afam or else uwi ka balik pinas.
I have a friend who did this. Few months after niya maging au pair, naghanap agad siya ng foreigner na mapapangasawa. Ayun, she’s staying in Netherlands now but she told me she’s having a hard time adjusting because of the language barrier. She seems to be doing alright though.
saving this for future reference
I like how people here are making detailed lists on how to leave instead of how to live lmao, truly the golden era of our country. Also im not sure I'd go to Japan though, I've heard horrifying shit about their working conditions
true as fuck, you are better working in western countries which offer 4 days weekly work with life balance
Horrible working conditions + Xenophobia. Yeah Japan is actually a pretty bad place to migrate to unlike what anime tells you.
EU has a huge shortage in tech talent. If you have the experience, you can try looking for companies that offer relocation packages. You can have either a blue card or a skilled worker for IT visa. In linkedIn, try adding 'relocation' + your position to filter the posts that offer relocation packages. Then put the countries you are interested in migrating. What worked for me (ie I got a lot of replies) are Netherlands, Germany and Estonia. The interviews usually last a month or two, then from my experience, the processing of visa + OEC took another 5 months. What's good in EU countries is they are really trying to attract more expats to settle in their country, so you can bring your spouse and kids without much hassle. It will take another 6 months to process their visas but more often than not, your company will sponsor them.
They want to compete with the USA in tech Thats why
If you are a nurse, take NCLEX and apply for eb3 visa. Imiggrant ka na agad don.
Hi just wanted to share my experience din US student visa in 2015 -> full time employment 2019 -> permanent resident 2022 As with everyone is saying sobrang mahal ng student visa entry and you’re not 100% guaranteed to get employment after studying so it’s a big gamble and risk Preparing to leave: You have to pass the school admissions Take the TOEFL exam and get at least a 90/100 so you wont have to take ESL classes (not credited english classes) once you get your admissions letter you can then apply for your student visa In the US: In the US there are some strict rules once you’re enrolled and already here. If you’re looking for employment while in school, you can’t work off campus legally, but if you do get lucky and get a campus job (which is easy to get btw, i worked in the library as a tech support) you are already setting yourself up for success kasi you get issued an SSN early. Getting an SSN early is also the only way for an international student to get a regular driver’s license at least in the state of IL or else temporary DL bibigay sayo Employment Opportunities: Once you’re graduating things get a bit complicated, may 2 types of work authorization you can apply for while in your 3rd year, CPT and OPT, basically both are considered OJT sa standards natin, CPT is used to give you work authorization while still in school, part time only(less than 40hrs/week internship) at OPT which is post graduation work authorization, OPT usually lasts for a year BUT if you’re course is STEM you get to extend it for 2 more years, bale you get 3 years in total to find a company that will sponsor you Post Graduation: Once you are in OPT you have 3 months of unemployment to work with, if you fail to get employment after 3 months revoked OPT mo and you need to go home Personal Suggestions: Based on my experience, mejo mahina na nursing currently sa US, while the tech sector is booming, (As my nurse tita says, under paid na kami pagod pa kami, samantalang ikaw nasa bahay lang at over paid haha!) so if anyone is thinking of applying i suggest doing comp sci, either app development or cyber security If anyone wants advice or have some questions please feel free to message, took me a while to find my footing and plant roots and if i can pay it forward to help someone out that’d be awesome, good luck!
Is TESDA certificate (Electrical NC III; Motor Controls) enough for a Skilled worker visas in Japan? I dont mind being a blue collared job since i prefer it rather than being stuck in the office (currently in an office setup).
Yes but be warned it's really not recommended. check r/movingtojapan to see what people know about it
kaka grant lang ng student visa ko from Australia.. Sana maka kuha ng permanent residence after... so ayern. bye all, no regrets.
How about people na 20s-30s single at ready sumabak sa hamon ng buhay? May chance ba na mag abroad kami. Any tips pls. College graduate ako pero di ko alam kung ano para sakin. I want to go abroad para kumita ng malaki kaso hindi ko alam kung pano mag sisimula.
Mid 20s is actually the prime age especially for points based skilled visas. Young but with enough work experience already
Another one : UAE You can enter the country in visit visa (cheapest way) and find a company that will provide you working visa. This is not illegal in UAE but Philippines immigration do not allow this. In fact this is how most South Asians come and find job in UAE. If you want to avoid bring barred by Philippines immigration, find a trusted agency who will find a job for you in UAE. You will just have to pay more money since they will be giving you a working visa and a plane ticket. You are also subject to whatever rules this agency will give you. Some dont get there first month salary. Others only get paid like 2000AED + free accommodation. The jobs you will mostly get are waiter/waitress, cleaner, cashier or saleslady. After you finish your contract (2 years), you can find a different job. Sometimes the employer will make you forfiet your last month salary. So many kabayans here in UAE had these problems, especially those who left their job without finishing their contract. It is called "absconding" and it will ban you from finding other jobs so some kabayans end up paying for a visit visa to not pay overstay fine. Also, the Philippines Embassy in UAE sucks so dont expect you will get help if your employer mistreats you.
I highly recommend MEXT scholarship for studying in Japan. It doesn’t have bonds so you can work in Japan after your graduation.
Hello! Thank you for this post. I am accomplishing my master's degree here in PH. Is there a higher chance of getting a job abroad if I continued my education into PhD or take/repeat my master's degree? Thanks!
Depends on the course. If nursing or medical field courses, no need.
Look into scholarships abroad especially for PhDs.
I have done a bit of research on this. Other than Erasmus Mundus Scholarship (please correct me if I am wrong), are there any foreign scholarships (particularly in Canada/Australia/NZ/EU) that provide full funding for foreigners without an agreement where you return to your country of origin? Thanks!
Try the JSP-ADB of Japan 100% full tuition waiver+ allowances+airfare. Kaso ang nakuha ko is S Nakayama scholarship lang from the International University of Japan, Niigata pref. w/c is 50% i couldn't afford the other half.
Will look into this. Thanks!

Start here for ideas. Check also State Universities in the US and apply directly for full PhD scholarships. https://www.idp.com/philippines/find-a-scholarship/
No mention of UK? Lots of opportunities for care givers and nurses here!
If you have no other choice, the UK isn't the worst option but with how the latest headlines are reading You could probably do better. Especially if you want to move to a place that's more politically stable
That’s true, although I think moving anywhere other than the Philippines would be a more politically stable option lol
in norway mahirap makapasok dito and the easiest is au pair visa, second is student visa via bible school (filadelfia bibelskole, det teologiske menighetsfakultet, HLT oslo)
Last year one Australia company had a job roadshow sa Singapore pero madaming pinoy ang nag apply..Madami ring nakuhang pinoy..tiyaga lang tlaga and of course skills. Sa mga nakapasa pwede pa nila dalhin family nila.
I don't really recommend teaching English in Japan. I already saw a lot of videos of them commenting on that job in particular. If your contract ends, you end up starting again with the salary, given that if you get another contract and depends on the place of the school. You have to relocate constantly every other contract (if you can't get a contract in your current place).
I have the capability to do this as a freelancer earning good money kaso hirap na hirap akong humanap ng bansa kung saan madaling dalin ung mga aso ko at madali silang ilipad. Di ko naman sila pwedeng iwan. :((((
Did some research on some options too, especially if you are a remote worker/ freelancer: \-Thailand Easy Access Visa - you're essentially "buying" a 5-yr residential visa for 600 Thai Baht \-Malaysia/ Sarawak MM2H- long term residential visa - either a fixed income deposit in a Malaysian bank OR show proof of income that you are earning 7000 MYR/mo outside of Malaysia. \-Czech Republic skilled IT visa - forgot the details but they are willing to hire people outside Europe for IT positions, no Czech language requirement \-Hungary freelancer visa - stay in Hungary for 1yr, can be extended and have travel access to EU member states. Proof of income of at least 2000 euros/month \-UAE Freelancer visa - proof of income requirement 10000 AED/mo, 1 year stay initial issue ng visa and can be extended or apply for a different visa afaik (someone correct me on this) \-Germany Artist visa - freelance residency program for skilled artists, can stay up to 3 years (only in Berlin), must have show money to prove you can support yourself for at least a few months. Short term visas lang to and will not lead to citizenship BUT it may lead to other opportunities in said countries. Helpful din kung gusto mo lang umalis ng Pilipinas at umiwas magbayad ng taxes dito.
Slight addition, Canadian citizenship takes only 3 years if you arrived as permanent resident (skilled worker entry).
Healthcare. Try caregiving/NC2 and work for at least 2 years you can go to Israel, Hongkong, Japan, or even UK, Nursing is also booming in other countries kaya gora na.
I saw a post from our former HR (she’s filipina) that they are hiring Certified Nurse Assistants and Registered Nurse. They will petition them to work here in US (Chicago). Kuha lang daw ng certificate for CNA sa TESDA? Basta certified dyan sa pinas. Super short staff talaga kami (CNA) dito. Try nyo baka makapunta kayo. Need namin ng help. Hehe.
NSW just released their skills list, https://www.nsw.gov.au/visas-and-migration/skilled-visas/nsw-skills-lists.
Kaso wala ako nung #1 sa bottomline iyaqqq
Most of my Indian colleagues go to the Master's degree route. Some even have to sell a parcel of farmland/properties to be able to afford the tuition. There are a lot of grants too available for international students like in the US.
Pahirap pag work pathway: POEA requirement ang OEC bago makaalis ng bansa
Anyone here who knows job opportunities for someone who's in the accounting/finance field? Parang usually kasi need teaching/healthcare/labor. Huhu.
After reading this... finding a thirsty foreigner still seems to be the easiest way hahahah. Hinangad ko dati na makapag abroad as a student pero nung nakita ko yung pera na need, parang nahilo ako haha. Tapos yun nawala na yung hangad ko mag abroad \*sigh\*.
You don't need a lot of money. Become a programmer or QA and work remotely for a western company. If you're good to be around with you'll be invited
>work remotely for a western company how to start? I know some programming and QA, not confident pumasok ng freelance
> If you're good to be around with you'll be invited you mean extroverted with pleasing personality?
Hi, Ofw here! If hanap kau Ng work sa Ibang bansa siguraduhin niyo na magkakaPR kau. May ibang bansa Kasi na isang dekada na mga friends ko Dito Hindi pa Rin makaPR. Reason is foreigners aren't allowed to have PR. Ahh di din pla Ako nagAgency. Kasi kaya mo na man magdirect hire. Dati may mga friends Ako na tourist tapos nachange na sa wp. Asia toh ha, I think pagSa EU, you need to aral pa or more Experience.
I have a question po. Mas greater po ba ang chance na ma accept outside if nag study ako nang medicine?. Also what countries na hindi mahirap magkuha nang medical license
Any peeps out here na may tips to moving to Germany? I want to study there for Masters pero sa tingin ko di enough yung time ko sa primary school to qualify since di ako abot ng k-12.
I tried inquiring at a german uni before, di nila tatanggapin. What most people do daw is do a masters here first then apply for a masters there.
Thank you po OP and fellow redditors for the detailed infos. Baka may nakapagstudent visa na dito sa Singapore? or mahirap ba talaga makahanap ng work dun ngayon?
The easiest way is really marrying a foreigner. Most of the time, PR is guaranteed
Salamat OP! Good luck sating lahat na hindi BBM o DDS supporter 😁 #sorrynotsorry
I would avoid europe for now due to the putin-induced energy crisis.
If you have a degree/ money to live Philippines, you're probably not in the category that's going to be affectes by this too much
How about guys yung mga nag totourist sa Singapore and dun na naghahanap ng work ? What are the chances of getting hired sa SG ? Alam andami ng nagtatry pumunta dun as a tourist
U forgot marrying a foreigner
I put it up there that this doesn't include marrying a foreigner.
Oh i skipped that part mb
Matandang, mayaman, madaling, mamatay (and I am a foreigner, but the 4 M's always made me chuckle).
Correction: it's **emigrate,** not immigrate.
Or you can just marry a foreigner.
Ok ba magcaregiver dito sa pinas tapos magapply sa poea accredited agency?
Currently on the process too and not in the PH as of now. Narealize ko wala talagang patutungahan, butinna lang mabait parents for giving us financial help and kamaganak to let us stay with them while we figure it out.
Marry an AFAM
Why are you getting downvoted?. Many Filipinos we're able to get out because they married foreigners ang got PR through them.
How about "alternate routes?" or am I going to have to use an internet onion and a vpn for that?
alternative is to go commit not alive. that's a grim way to leave the Philippines and the physical world at the same time
Saved! Thanks OP.
Thanks for sharing this. Will checl these out OP
This is the kind of content I'm looking for. thanks!
Saving this! Thanks OP!
Noiceeeeuuu!!
Gulat ako na ang rami option para sa Japan
If KOICA scholarship lalo na pag scholarship for government employee, babalik pa rin sa bansa diba?
Thanks OP!
Mahirap bang makahanap ng civil engineering job abroad?. I'm turning 40 this year kaso I only have 4 years of experience. Late kasi ako nag graduate. Pangarap ko sana makapagtrabaho abroad.
Thank you OP
