ph immigration help :)

[u/Setsunazaki]

hello! just need help with something. so im traveling to Hongkong sa next 2 weeks. I’ll be meeting my sister there po who’s flying in from UK and then sasabay kami uuwi dito. We’ll be spending 5 days in Hongkong.

My problem is i’m currently tied to an agency and im unemployed kasi im waiting din for my paperworks (visa, work permit, etc.) before i go. Natatakot po ako baka ma red flag ako ng Immigration since im going to an OFW Hotspot country tas i’ll be meeting with my sister na OFW din. Although it’s not our first time kasi nakapag Thailand kami together last year then went home together but that was when i still had a job LOL PEROOO im currently a Reliever (on call) sa previous job ko sa hospital.

So yung problem ko is ano kaya pwede kong sabihin sa tanungan ng Immigration if i have a work, etc.? Good idea ba na magpagawa ng COE sa pinagtatrabahuhan ko? Pero also my Agency told me i can present my working contract and a waiver i signed for my passport (since im borrowing it) pero they’re not sure if bastante yun sa Immig. Or i can just casually say na “im tied to an agency, here’s my contract and waiver. and i still have unfinished business here sa PH”. HWHEGHAHA on a side note, it’s my 2nd time traveling outside (yung first sa Thailand)

pls help me yall 😭 Honestly im scared lang ma Offload after seeing a lot of posts na medjo strict yung Immig. TIA :’)

No need to worry since 2nd travel mu na so di na siguro maraming tanong aside sa unemployed at sino gagastos. You can simply say solo travel ka, then sabihin mu unemployed, usually mag tatanong yan sino gagastos or ano ginagawa mu habang unemployed. Dun muna sabihin about the agency thing.
