No extra fees: Online contract verification in Dubai now allows resubmitting missed documents without starting over
With its resubmit flow feature, applicants can now upload the missing or corrected files without having to make a new payment or file a new application.
This update is part of the 100% Online Employment Contract Verification launched on July 7 by the Migrant Workers Office (MWO) Dubai and Northern Emirates, in partnership with DataFlow Group, as part of efforts to fully digitize overseas employment services. How it works
If the evaluator finds a submission incomplete, the application will be tagged as Pending Compliance. The applicant will then receive an email and a dashboard notification with instructions to upload the missing documents. Simply click the resubmit link in the email or log in to the portal and access your dashboard.
Upload the required files.
Resubmit your application and wait for final evaluation.
The original application remains active, and no additional convenience fee is charged. However, applicants have 15 days to comply. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the case being marked as Non-Compliant, requiring a new application and payment. Daily slot limits apply
The online platform is open every day until 11:59 PM Dubai time, but MWO Dubai currently limits appointment slots to 200 per day. Those who miss out on daily slots are advised to try again starting at 8:00 AM the following day.
OFWs with confirmed flights who urgently need contract verification may still visit MWO Dubai one working day before their flight. Specifically: For flights on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – visit one working day before the flight.
For flights on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday – visit on Thursday, Friday, or one working day before the flight.
For OFWs already on flights but unable to complete verification prior to departure, authorized representatives may visit MWO Dubai: 1–3 days before the worker's OEC appointment in the Philippines, or
2–5 days before the worker's flight returning to the UAE.

Philippine envoys join ILO in talks to boost Saudi labor market reforms
Philippine Ambassador Raymond Balatbat met with senior officials from the International Labour Organization (ILO) on Aug. 12 to discuss strategies aimed at improving Saudi Arabia's labor market. He was joined by Labor Attaché Atty. Dominador Salanga of the Migrant Workers Office–Riyadh and First Secretary and Consul Dean Jason Arriola. The ILO delegation was led by Deputy Regional Director Peter Rademaker. The talks followed the recent signing of a cooperation agreement between the ILO and the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. Both sides outlined measures to strengthen labor policies in the Kingdom, with a focus on fair recruitment practices, enhanced market data, and improved protection for workers. Filipinos, one of the largest expatriate groups in Saudi Arabia, are seen as a key stakeholder in the initiative. The ILO aims to create a comprehensive baseline of the Saudi labor market to guide future reforms that will benefit both employers and migrant workers. The meeting underscored the Philippines' active role in shaping labor reforms in Saudi Arabia and its commitment to safeguarding the rights and welfare of overseas Filipino workers. Officials expressed optimism that the collaboration would lead to concrete improvements in labor standards across the Kingdom.

UAE, Philippines trade talks look at strengthening investment ties
The UAE and the Philippines have held trade talks following the signing of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) last July, with an aim at enhance trade cooperation and investment opportunities. The meeting between the UAE delegation, led by Minister of Foreign Trade, Dr. Thain bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, and the Philippines Business Council in the UAE, looked at ways to build and expand partnerships between the business communities and the private sector on both sides. During the meeting, Al Zeyoudi highlighted the growing economic partnership between the two countries, with non-oil trade growing to over $257.7 million in the first half of 2025. In 2024, the total volume of non-oil trade reached approximately $940 million. The UAE is the Philippines' top export market among Arab and African countries as well as its 17th largest globally, demonstrating the strong foundation on which both nations can further expand collaboration. "The Philippines is a key trading partner for the UAE in the growing ASEAN region, and we are committed to fostering stronger ties at all levels," Dr. Al Zeyoudi stated. With a significant Filipino diaspora residing in the UAE, working primarily in sectors such as construction, healthcare and hospitality, the meeting also aimed to explore how these communities can further contribute to mutual prosperity from the growing economic ties. The UAE-Philippines CEPA represents a significant addition to the UAE's global trade programme. The CEPA is forecast to increase the UAE's GDP by $2.4 billion and increase exports to the Philippines to $7.62 billion by 2032.
