Have
you ever tried getting a work visa but felt so overwhelmed with the
requirements and procedures that when you finally reached the in-person
interview, you felt you gave a bad impression? Or even worst, has your visa
application been rejected because you lack the necessary requirements? The
steps to obtain a visa are tedious; the requirements are extensive. Each
person's situation is different and there is no proper explanation or a single
document, certificate, or letter which can guarantee visa issuance.
But
with all these complexities and uncertainties, why do Filipinos leave the
country in the first place? Why spend so much money applying for a visa when
there’s an oft chance that their visa application might be rejected? The simple
truth is that Filipinos have more job opportunities abroad. Other countries pay
better and provide better benefit. The minimum wage in the Philippines is quite
low compared to other countries while local companies do not compensate their
employees well. There are also those workers who do not find their salaries
enough to sustain them and their families. It is for this reason that Filipinos
travel out of the country in order to get better compensations.
