Tips for OFWs Visiting MWO / POLO Hong Kong
- Arrive early. Lines can get long, especially on Sundays and before holidays.
- Bring photocopies. Photocopy services inside United Centre can be expensive; prepare copies beforehand.
- Check requirements online. Contract verification, OEC, and OWWA membership each have specific document lists.
- Use Admiralty Station Exit D. This is the fastest and most direct route.
- Prepare digital backups. Keep photos of your passport, HKID, and contract on your phone for quick reference.
- Expect security checks. United Centre has building security; bags may be inspected.
With the office now centrally located in Admiralty, OFWs can access MWO/POLO services more conveniently, especially when combined with visits to the Philippine Consulate General in the same building.
