Over the next ten years Iran will needs at least one million housing units per year. These means that the country will need some engineers and construction workers for realization of their construction project.

Currently, Iran needs some engineers (civil, commissioning, electrical, piping, maintenance, etc.), technician ( electrical, instrumentation, mechanical, maintenance and commissioning) and supervisor (structural, piping, instrumentation, mechanical, electrical,HSE and commissioning).

The current decline of housing market in Iran has been unprecedented. The fact that the country has great unemployment rate and one-third of their macro-economy is related to the construction sector, authorities should focus to this particular sector.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran recently issued an advisory about the revised regulation of residence of foreign nationals in Iran that the penalty for overstaying foreign nationals, including Filipinos, has increased from 170,000 IRR about US$20.20 per day to 300,000 IRR about US$33.00. The Iran’s Disciplinary Force, which is nearly comparable to the former Philippine Constabulary, strictly enforces this immigration regulation.

The Philippine Embassy in Iran also reported that the Labor Ministry of Iran only allows foreign nationals to secure work and residence permits in some sectors such as construction which are hired directly by foreign contractors that have projects in Iran. Hence it is not viable for foreign nationals workers who are planning to work as domestic helper in the said country.

Therefore, the Embassy of the Philippines in Riyadh advised all OFWs, particularly domestic helpers, and their dependents who are currently in the Kingdom, to avoid using tourist or visit visas in entering the country if they intend to look for a job.
