Filipinos workers in Korea whose E-9 visa will expire from March to August 2005 are urged to leave voluntarily.

Korea will prioritize the re-entry of  Filipino workers who will leave the country during the said period  under the employment permit system (EPS).

Voluntary leavers will be included in the roster of jobseekers and may re-enter Korea after six months from their departure date. The worker will also be allowed to return to his previous work upon the request of the employer.

Affected workers shall go to the Employment Security Center nearest their workplace and ask for a  recommendation letter. Two copies of the recommendation  letter shall be presented at the  airport’s immigration counter upon departure for the Philippines. A copy of the letter shall be submitted to POEA for registration.
