The Philippine Embassy in Seoul welcomes the announcement of Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) that the processing for entry of Employment Permit System (EPS) workers from all sending countries will resume before the end of November 2021, subject to pre- and post-entry measures such as vaccination, PCR testing, and other public health protocols.

Relative to this, the public is advised to await the official announcement and guidance from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), the Human Resource Development Service (HRD) – PH EPS Center, which are the designated EPS focal agencies for Philippine EPS matters, and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Philippines to be informed of the detailed entry procedures and requirements covering EPS workers that will be issued accordingly. Thank you. END
