T
he Department of Labor and Employment has set up Korean
Assistance Desks to facilitate speedy processing and issuance of
Alien Employment Permit (AEP) to Korean nationals intending to
work in the country.
In Labor Advisory No. 2, Series of 2019, Labor Secretary
Silvestre Bello III prescribed the procedures to be observed by
the DOLE Regional Offices in operating the Korean Assistance
Desks, which are located in the National Capital Region, Cordillera
Administrative Region, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Central Visayas, and Davao
Region.
As stated in the Korean Assistance Desk Operating Guidelines, the processing
and issuance of AEP must be strictly made within three working
days from receipt of application, provided that the AEP application
and all supporting documents are complete and correct.
Otherwise, the designated focal person/s must immediately
inform the foreign national or the authorized representative to
undertake corrective actions.
The revocation/cancellation of AEP and other cases affecting the
employment of Korean nationals must be promptly resolved and
reported to the Office of the Secretary, through the Bureau of Local
Employment, within five days from its occurrence/resolution.
A document which authorizes a foreign national to work
in the country, the AEP is issued by the labor department after
determination of the non-availability of a Filipino who is competent,
able, and willing at the time of application to perform the services
for which the alien is preferred.
