For employees being sent to work abroad, in a form where the domestic employer sends employees for overseas training, for a period not exceeding 45 days, the employer must notify the Department of Employment, Ministry of Labor, according to the following criteria:
The employers must prepare the following supporting documents:
The employer must make copies of all documents and present the originals on the day of the application. The employer or authorized person should sign all supporting documents, and, if applicable, stamp the company seal.
The notification of sending employees for overseas training takes about 3 hours to process, depending on several factors such as if the application or supporting documents are incomplete or have errors, causing inability to consider. In such cases, the officer will record the deficiencies of the document or required additional documents. The applicant must then rectify and/or submit additional documents within the deadline set in the record. Failure to do so will result in the officer considering the application as abandoned, with the applicant or the authorized signatory signing the record, and the applicant or the authorized signatory will receive a copy of the deficiency record as evidence. No fee is charged for notifying or sending employees for overseas training.
