Filipino maid contract issue - re-entering Dubai this Friday...
So I am hoping someone knows more about this than I do..... please!! It may, or may not be an issue... but if it is, my guess is that it is quite complicated.
My friend is away at the moment, as is her maid (she is home on her year holiday to the Phillipines). Her maid is returning on Friday (my friend will still be away).
So my understanding is that maids need to visit the Polo office here prior to departing Dubai to get the certificate stamped in order to be able to leave the Phillipines, to return to Dubai at the end of their holiday. She did not do this, however, I believe it is also possible to do this in Manila providing they have a copy of the immigration contract with them, visa, passport etc. So, her maid went to do this - however does not have the immigration contract - they never signed one.
What I 'think' has happened, is that the company my friends husband works for, has processed the 'wrong' visa for her, and have made it like they employ her directly as a company, instead of my friend and her husband as the sponsor. I have recieved a copy of her visa page, and it has her occupation as General Cleaner on it, with the husband's company name on it, in contrast, our 'maids' visa has 'servant' as the occupation and my husbands name as the sponsor ... My friend's maid's visa is also valid for 3 years, our's is valid for 1 year...
I understand there has been a tightening of laws in the Phillipines lately around this. So my question is, do you think she is going to be able to leave the Phillipines without incident because she she is on a different visa that doesn't require the certificate, or is she going to get stopped because she is technically on the wrong visa in the first place? Is she going to have to lie to get back in the country?
Any thoughts?? Should we be trying to sort something else, or will it not be an issue...
