BI asks foreign volunteers to get work permits

ANTICIPATING an influx of foreign volunteers from non-government organizations abroad for Super Typhoon Yolanda victims in the Eastern Visayas, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) is asking volunteers to first seek a special working permit (SWP) from their home countries and organizations before seeking entry into the country.

At the same time, the bureau has been distributing thank you postcards and displaying tarpaulins expressing gratitude to nationals of over 40 countries for their overwhelming support to the Yolanda survivors.
