UAE adds Hepatitis C to list of deportable
diseases
Effective July 1, 2008, the United Arab emirates will consider
hepatitis C a deportable disease in addition to the present list
that includes HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis B. The new test
applies to all expatriates applying for residency and labor
visas, including renewal. Anyone who tests positive for
hepatitis C virus (HCV) will be deported.
Filipino tourists cannot
work in Romania
Beware of
recruiters who encourage applicants for overseas jobs to enter
Romania as tourists with the premise that a work permit will be
issued when the worker arrive in the country. Working in
Romania using tourist visa (short stay visa) is not possible
because it is issued only through invitation and cannot be
used for a longer stay. Filipino workers who wish to legally
stay and work in Romania should acquire the appropriate visa.
The employer needs to file with the Romanian Immigration Office a
labor permit for permanent workers (long stay visa for labor
purposes) on behalf of the foreign worker justifying the
necessity of hiring the selected worker.
