Looking for work - but why Philippines?

[emasonhome]

Hi,

My husband and I are looking for professional work opportunities and are considering a number of different countries as options (Australia, Singapore, Cayman Islands, Taiwan, Philippines, Hong Kong, Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia, China, Vietnam).

Having read through a number of previous posts and guides, I'm interested to hear from anyone working in this sector, or that has migrated to the Philippiness. Would love to chat about your experience, opportunities and visas to help narrow down the options (we hold UK Passports).

Thanks!

Interesting that you read a number of posts and didn’t know Foreigners are unable (in most cases) to hold jobs in Philippines.

If you are more specific as to what your professions are you may receive more accurate information as to your likelihood of getting or wanting to work here.  Some employments are restricted to Filipinos, others so poorly paid you may not want them.

I removed it Snowy, read more like an advertisement. Clearly the person who posted here did not take the time to look around or search for answers as they said they did.

You do not list your "profession" nor your "sector".   Ask a vague question and you will get vague answers at best.

I had my doubts also.  Too large a variation of countries with cultural and economical differences.

Apologies, I must have deleted part of my post. 

I should have said that we both have significant Project Management Experience in the UK Automotive industry. 

I appreciate that the countries we are looking at is diverse, however some are on the list because they offer a location that we are more drawn to live in (such as the Philippines) and others have work opportunities that we favour (i.e. China, Singagpore).

I'm hoping that by speaking with people that have made the move already, I can understand their experience and learn from it.

Does anyone that has posted so far have anything that they think would be useful to share?

I'm interested to hear more on this.

I was under the impression that one option available to us was to look to find Employment and therefore gain sponsorship for a Pre-arranged work visa and AEP.

Can you share your thoughts?
