No Need to Come to Embassy and Camp Out for Repatriation - Repost

The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh has received inquiries from Filipinos to verify calls to them by certain individuals encouraging overstaying Filipinos to come to the Embassy, POLO and the Bahay Kalinga and camp inside the premises of the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh and in areas located adjacent to the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) and the Filipino Workers Resource Center (FWRC) or Bahay Kalinga in Riyadh, in order to seek repatriation.
The Embassy reminds Filipinos in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that public rallies and protests are a violation of Saudi law, and impacts on the ability of the Embassy to deliver much-needed consular services to the Filipino community.



The Embassy has not authorized any person or group regarding such action, nor has made any representations with the Government of Saudi Arabia for any such arrangement.
Filipinos with irregular status who are affected by recent developments and stricter implementation by Saudi authorities regarding labor and immigration law violations need only visit the Embassy or POLO to have their respective cases documented and enable them to be given appropriate advice or assistance.
At present, the Embassy is taking information of overstaying Filipinos for documentation purposes, and these cases are endorsed to the Saudi authorities for their appropriate consideration and resolution in accordance with existing regulations.

For information regarding assistance that the Embassy can extend, Filipinos may call the following:
