The Department of Labor and Employment has recently announced the use of OFW Assistance Information System (OASIS) for all overseas Filipino workers intending to return to the Philippines during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The tracking system was launched in an effort to facilitate an orderly and smooth repatriation, and assistance to the huge number of returning OFWs.
“All OFWs planning to come home to the Philippines during Covid-19 pandemic are requested to register in the OASIS which may be accessed visa oasis.owwa.gov.ph at least five days before the scheduled repatriation,” a press release dated June 16 read.
