Dubai's Migrant Workers Office has started accepting card payments for specific services for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and other clients. The electronic point-of-sale (POS) and card payment facility began on September 14, offering a more convenient way to settle fees for services such as Balik-Manggagawa contract verification, employer accreditation, rehire processing, direct hire processing, and Tadbeer hiring.
MWO Dubai explained that the new payment option was introduced in response to requests from OFWs, employers, and clients for a more accessible payment method. Clients can still choose between cash or electronic POS/card payment for the covered services. The introduction does not affect existing cash payment arrangements, and there will be no increase in verification fees.
The move is part of the Department of Migrant Workers' (DMW) broader digitalization efforts to provide more streamlined and technology-enabled services for OFWs and other clients. OFWs have welcomed the new facility, noting its convenience and faster processing of contract verification applications.
