CONSULAR OUTREACH MISSIONS 2020

January 15, 2020

A B I S O

January 13, 2020

Ukol sa mga iba’t ibang patalastas na naglalayong makatulong sa mga nagnanais na manirahan/magtrabaho sa Germany, nais pong ipaalam ng Embahada ng Pilipinas na sa kasalukuyan ay isang programa lamang ang meron sa pagitan ng mga Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas at Germany (Government to Government) na naglalayong mag-recruit – ito po ay ang Triple Win Project (TWP) na tanging mga Filipino nurses ang tinatanggap.

Ang TWP ay isang programa na ipanapatupad ng Philippine Overseas Employment Adminstration (POEA) at ng Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ/ German Enterprise for International Cooperation).

Ano man pong alok ng trabaho na hindi kabilang sa TWP ay dapat dumaan sa Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) sa Berlin at sa POEA.

Maari po ninyong makita ang listahan ng mga naaprubahang trabaho ng POEA sa website link na ito: http://www.poea.gov.ph/cgi-bin/JobVacancies/jobsMenu.asp

Pinapaalalahanan din po ang lahat na suriin ng mabuti ang mga nag-aalok ng “libreng pagaaral habang nagtatrabaho” sa Germany. Limitado lamang po ang maaring gawing trabaho ng mga estudyante at kadalasan ang mga ito ay may kaugnayan sa kurso/bokasyong inaaral. Kalimitan din, ang pagututuro sa mga unibersidad ay nasa wikang Aleman kaya inaasahan na ang mga estudyante ay may kasanayan sa wikang Aleman.

Gayundin, ang mga nais magtrabaho sa Germany ay karaniwang inaasahan na may kaaalaman na sa wikang Aleman pagdating nila sa bansa.

Madalas rin pong makatanggap ang Embahada ng mga tanong tungkol sa kinakailangan upang manirahan/mamasukan sa Germany. Ang mga bagay pong ito ay napapasailalim sa mga patakaran ng Gobyerno ng Germany.

Sa mga nais makakuha ng ganitong impormasyon, maari pong magsadya sa pahina ng German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees:

https://www.bamf.de/EN/Themen/MigrationAufenthalt/ZuwandererDrittstaaten/zuwandere rdrittstaaten-node.html

Maari din pong sumangguni sa pahina ng Embahada ng Germany sa Pilipinas para sa karagdagang impormasyon tungkol sa visa patungong Germany: https://manila.diplo.de/.

Salamat po.

 

ADVISORY

In light of various advertisements offering assistance and services for people to reside/work in Germany, the Embassy wishes to advise that the only Philippine-German governmentto-government hiring program currently in place is the Triple-Win Project (TWP) for the hiring of Filipino nurses.

The TWP is implemented by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ/ German Enterprise for International Cooperation).

Any other recruitment outside of the TWP goes through the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Berlin and the POEA.

You can access the POEA’s list of verified job orders online through this link: http://www.poea.gov.ph/cgi-bin/JobVacancies/jobsMenu.asp

Please also carefully scrutinize offers of “free study while working in Germany.” A student may be able to work on a limited basis only, or, may work in the context of an apprenticeship/internship/training program related to the course of one’s studies/vocation. Further, please keep in mind that courses in many educational institutions in Germany are taught in German. As such, incoming students are required to have a certain level of proficiency in the German language.

The same expectation of a certain level of German language proficiency applies to incoming workers in Germany.

The Philippine Embassy in Berlin frequently receives inquiries on the requirements to work or reside in Germany, please note that these matters fall under the purview of the German government. As such we respectfully advise that members of the public refer to applicable German laws and regulations to avoid any confusion.

For those interested to learn about working/residing in Germany in light of the recent changes in Germany’s immigration laws, we wish to share this official link from the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees to provide you with a starting point for your research.

Thank you.
