Schedule OWWA Appointment Membership Russia

Although OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration) membership is primarily intended for OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers), not all individuals are eligible to become members as they must meet certain qualification criteria set by OWWA. Firstly, OWWA requires its members to be actively and continuously employed as “legal” or “documented” workers with valid work permits and visas. OFWs who have obtained permanent residency status in foreign countries can also qualify for OWWA membership, as long as they maintain their Filipino citizenship and have full-time or permanent employment.

However, individuals who do not meet the requirement of active and continuous employment are not eligible for OWWA membership. This includes individuals who are unemployed or not currently engaged in any form of employment.

  Booking an OWWA Appointment in Russia

  As of the time of writing, there is currently no online appointment system available for OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration) membership application in Russia, as there is no designated POLO (Philippine Overseas Labor Office) in the country. However, the POLO office in Berlin has jurisdiction over Russia and offers labor-related services and assistance to OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers).

  Recently, POLO Berlin and OWWA conducted a Consular Outreach Mission in Moscow, which may require appointments. Therefore, OFWs are advised to get in touch with these offices to inquire about the schedule and book appointments for the upcoming Consular Outreach Mission in Russia.

  On the other hand, if you are currently in the Philippines for vacation and your OWWA membership has expired, you can book an appointment at the DMW (Department of Manpower and Welfare) for OWWA membership renewal. OFWs in Russia can also inquire about OWWA membership at the Philippine Embassy in Moscow.

  Please note that the information provided is accurate as of the time of writing, and it is always recommended to contact the relevant offices or visit their official websites for the most up-to-date information and instructions.
