A few months ago we posted on RRJM Facebook Page about an interesting case of a Filipina Domestic Helper applying for permanent residency in Hongkong.
Evangelina Banao Vallejos has been working in Hongkong since 1986 (25 Years).
According to the Legal References website of the Hongkong Judiciary the hearings were set on 22, 23 and 24 August 2011. And the Judgement date was set on September 30.
The verdict was any foreign worker who have resided in the city state for a continuous period of seven years is allowed to apply for permanent residency. Along with it they are entitled the right to vote, welfare and other services.
She won.
The HK government is still going to appeal the ruling.
But we should all watch this case because it applies to all foreign workers in all kinds of jobs.
If the children of an Overseas Filipino Worker is going to visit the OFW’s host country, what are the travel requirements?
They would need the regular travel documents required by the Bureau of Immigrations.
1. Valid Passport 2. Valid Original Visa for port of entry 3. Return tickets for tourist
If they are minors, they will need to get a clearance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
For minors under a custody dispute, there must be a court order that allows the children to travel to one of their parents.
