FOREIGN workers may now expect faster applications for their alien employment permits through a new one-stop shop launched last week by the Labor department.

In a statement on Monday, the agency said the one-stop shop has counters of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) so foreign workers can easily apply for their tax identification number and special temporary permit.

“Similar one-stop shops will be established in other alien employment permit application-rich areas such as the Cagayan region, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Central Visayas and Davao region,” Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III said.
