Foreign-based placement agencies not allowed to recruit Filipino workers for Spain
- 2007 POEA Advisory

Beware of manpower brokers who recruit Filipino caregivers and nurses to work in Spain. The Spanish government has not authorized any placement agency outside the Philippines to recruit Filipino workers.

Under the “Proyecto Piloto”, the experimental hiring of Filipino healthcare professionals and skilled workers, only Philippine-based and licensed recruitment agencies are allowed to deploy OFWs to Spain. In our memorandum of understanding with Spain, the point of hiring and issuance of entry visas and work permits are exclusively in the Philippines.
