Travel Advisory

Regulations of Iran for Illegal Foreign Workers

Filipinos who intend to work in Iran should know that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not accept foreign household service workers.

Foreign nationals who work illegally in Iran will be fined IR 300,000 or equivalent to US$ 30.00 for each day of overstay in the country.

Filipino household service workers enter Iran from Dubai with a tourist visa holding on to the promise of the Iranian employer or recruiting agent that the working permit will be processed in Tehran.

Since the Government of Iran does not allow foreign household service workers, they will surely end up as illegal workers.

Filipinos are advised to be vigilant and on guard when in receipt of similar job offers in Iran.

Travel to Kish Island and Other Exit Points

09 January 2009-Filipinos intending to travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on tourist visas are informed that once their visas expire, it would not be advisable for them to travel to Kish islands and other nearby exit points.

At present, Filipinos there find it extremely difficult to obtain new visas for re-entry into the UAE, resulting in their being stranded there well beyond their intended period of stay incurring excessive subsistence and lodging expenses. While this situation persists, Filipinos with tourist visas in the UAE are now being enjoined to go home once their visas expire, and to apply for new visas in the Philippines if they wish to go back to the UAE.
