Public Notice: Instructions for Depositing OWIC Fee

The Department of Labour under the Ministry of Labour issues Overseas Worker Identification Cards (OWIC) to workers holding a Passport for Job (PJ) who are going abroad for employment, to ensure that they can enjoy the rights granted under the laws of host countries and that labour-related matters can be smoothly resolved upon their arrival in the respective foreign countries.
Workers who have been officially announced as eligible to apply for the OWIC are required to pay an OWIC card fee of K5,600, and a penalty fee of K22,400 in cases of loss or damage, starting 1 March 2026, through branches of the Myanma Economic Bank to Account No OA-013904 of the Overseas Employment Supervisory Committee opened at the Myanma Economic Bank, Nay Pyi Taw.
After transferring the OWIC card fee to Account No OA-013904, workers must bring the original remittance application slip together with one photocopy and submit them on the scheduled OWIC application date at the OWIC Issuance Centre, Skills Training School (North Dagon), Department of Labour.
The OWIC card will not be issued in cases of transfer to an incorrect account number, inaccurate remittance application details, or failure to present the original remittance application slip.
