Passports were handed over to the Philippine Immigration Bureau.

Hello, I'm in the Philippines. Let me talk about the situation here.

Generally speaking, in foreign countries, if employers apply for work visas for employees, it is normal for employers in China to detain employees' passports, and some passports are detained. On the one hand, they are worried about the danger of employees going abroad privately, on the other hand, passports are an important time, so employers should also ensure their own interests. Compared with employers, they have gone through all the formalities for employees to go abroad, and the same is true for people who work in the Philippines but go to many other countries. For example, people who go to Japan, Africa and other countries to work.

However, there are many disputes caused by the seizure of passports in the Philippines, so it is more negative. For example, when you want to leave, there will be high compensation. In fact, some companies' salaries are calculated according to actual expenses, and a small number of salaries are not like this. If you know about migrant workers in other countries, you should know that the cost of going to Japan and Singapore is 20,000 to 30,000, which means you have to pay these fees before going abroad. Then in recent years, many companies in the Philippines are not standardized, their management is not standardized, and the employee turnover rate is high, which leads to many employees complaining. After all, it is a special industry, and the boss didn't say that he would work all his life. And many employees can't accept such an industry after coming to the company. Although everyone knew it before coming, they didn't want to do it when they actually worked, and they wanted to leave, and the pay was high.

In order to recruit people, some companies will make up some lies to deceive job seekers to work. Of course, most formal companies don't do this. Good things don't go out on Wan Li Road, so everyone thinks that the Philippines is not good. The Philippines itself has money and employers can do whatever they want. Many employees come here, don't know English, and don't know how to solve problems, so they don't have the determination to work here. The work is more difficult than expected. When I first came here, the first three months were really hard, worse than all my previous jobs. This kind of suffering is not only long working hours, but also great pressure, unfamiliarity with the surrounding area, no entertainment, no matter running around. So before you come out to work, you must think clearly. Adapted to the working environment, basically getting better. Because when you work for a period of time, the intensity of work adapts, and with experience, the salary goes up. I will be very happy when I get paid every month, and naturally I will not leave.

Most of the people who left the company just arrived, and some had poor performance. After all, the competition in this industry is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer people with super good performance. After getting familiar with it, most of them are under pressure, with a monthly salary of 20 thousand to 30 thousand, so many people rest because they are too tired after completing the contract period. Many of my friends are like this. They all want to relax, but the work is not easy, so they work for a while, earn some money, and then have a rest.

Let's talk about what should I do if my passport is detained when I meet a really pitted company?

It's actually quite simple. Passports can be reissued at the embassy and visas can be reissued at the immigration office.

The embassy accepts the replacement business on the working day morning, and it takes about 3-5 days to reissue the travel permit. It's been half a month since my passport was reissued. So you can ask for leave without telling the company before you leave, find a working day and go to the embassy to reissue it. The embassy knows Chinese, so you can go directly, fill out a form, take a photo, and some of your documents, such as a copy of your passport and ID card. Go early, because many people handle it. It's done. Just wait 3-5 days and wait for the notice.

If you go to immigration, you need to know English so that you can find an agent to get it for you. The cost is very cheap, generally more than 1000 RMB. I can reissue your visa on the same day. If you stay in the Philippines for more than 6 months, you need to go through customs, or you can go through customs together.

You'd better do these things well before leaving your job, so that when you leave, you can leave with your things at any time. When you leave, the security guards downstairs in many apartments won't let you take your suitcase. You can prepare one or two backpacks and plastic bags, pack your things and go straight to the airport. Of course, you need to book a plane ticket in advance. It's best to take a holiday on the day you leave, or leave in the morning and evening, because the working hours here are generally 1 1 and 12. This staggered the working hours.

Recently, after someone fled the company, some companies blacked out their employees' documents and left by plane. So if they really want to escape or something, I suggest not telling the company, then secretly reissue their travel permits, passports and visas, and then buy a plane ticket and leave secretly. All my former friends have done this. I also helped them do a lot of things. After all, they can't always ask for leave.

Ok, you can leave a message if you have any questions.

Note that in foreign countries, only people who have never been abroad will say so. The embassy is only a local institution, and we must abide by local laws and regulations. After all, we are not an American embassy, and we don't have that much hegemony. So you can find the embassy, but the embassy is really not everything. Sometimes the embassy just asks us to reissue the documents. If something really happened, the embassy urged the local government to handle it at most, so the result was returned to the local government. After all, China keeps a low profile, in other words, there is no privilege in the local area.
