To recruit healthcare professionals from the Philippines, agencies must comply with the regulations set by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). This includes obtaining a license from the POEA, adhering to ethical recruitment practices, and ensuring that employment contracts meet the standards set by both the POEA and the destination country.
Filipino healthcare professionals can work in the United States under several visa categories, including the EB-3 (Employment-Based Third Preference) Immigrant Visa, which is for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers, and the H-1B (Specialty Occupations) Visa, which is for temporary workers in specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree or equivalent.
