If you want to work in any foreign country, it is always a must that you have a working visa. Without proper documents, your employment in a foreign country is illegal

So for recruiters who offers employment in South Korea by giving applicants a religious visa should not be entertained

Applicants for overseas work have been warned against promises of employment in South Korea through the issuance of a religious visa. The POEA reported that they have received complaints that a number of Korean citizens have offered employment to Filipino applicants and then disappeared. The illegal recruiters who were identified as Cho Chang Kuy and Oh Gyuk Su apparently collected more than Php 7 million from their victims.

Filipinos who wants to work in China and Mongolia as a domestic helper are also warned against job offers because according to the Philippine officials there, these kind of jobs is considered illegal in the said countries.

The Ambassador of the Philippines to China, Francisco Benedicto, reported to the DFA that officials of the two Asian countries prohibited the hiring of foreign household workers because they wanted to stop the rise of illegal workers.

Those who will be found violating this law faces deportation and payment of fines. In China, overstaying workers and those without legal working documents are required to pay 5,000 yuan or Php33,000. Meanwhile violators in Mongolia are asked to pay USD 30 or Php 1384 a day.
