Skilled workers requirements list (outdated)
Update: As of June 2018, a more updated version is now online as part of Advisory No. 33 Series of 2018. This page is only here for historical purposes.
Thte POEA has an outdated a list of requirements for skilled worker requirements list. This no longer valid as of May 27th of 2018. It's still listed as the latest requirements in the website, but a new list of requirements is available from the Direct Hire department of the POEA offices.

Fees
These were the fees listed in this document:
- USD $100 (or PHP equivalent) for POEA processing fee
- USD $25 (or PHP equivalent) for OWWA membership fee
This is most likely no longer valid, either. The new document doesn't have a list of fees.
