DOLE to runaway Pinoy workers in UAE: Don't cross borders to Oman

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Wednesday warned overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) against crossing the border to Oman.

In a news release, DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz warned runaway OFWs against this practice, saying Oman no longer issues working visas to Filipinos crossing the Oman-UAE border.

Citing a report of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Muscat, Baldoz said Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued instructions "not to issue working visas to Filipinos crossing the border from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), without a no-objection certificate (NOC) from POLO-Oman."
