US Overseas Cruise Employer Requirements

Requested from POEA by M. Dabu at 01:37 PM on Jul 18, 2022.
Purpose: US Overseas Cruise Employer Requirements Inquiry
Date of Coverage: 07/17/2022 - 07/17/2022
Tracking no: #POEA-333812977917

Dabu 01:37 PM, Jul 18, 2022 

My name is Jasper and I work with Connext Global Solutions in Angeles City, Pampanga.
We are a business process outsourcing company working with US companies to help augment their services.

One of our clients is interested in hiring OFW nurses for a cruise ship but has no experience in doing so.
Thus, I am reaching out to you to know if there is a step-by-step process for a US company who’s interested to hire OFWs that I can share to them. Or if you can guide us to the right person or webpage.
Such as certification, fees and others.

Also any agencies to refer? Thank you!
