• Ang Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Lebanon o POLO Lebanon ay sangay ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) na syang nagpapatupad ng patakaran ng Pilipinas hingil sa overseas work. Isa sa mga pangunahin nilang trabaho ay ang mag verify ng employment contracts and work papers in Turkey. 

• Once na maverify ang inyong employment contract, maglalagay ng stamp ang POLO Lebanon sa inyong employment contract. Ang stamp na ito ang syang ipapakita ng isang OFW sa pinakamalapit na POEA office, para ma-bigyan ang OFW ng kaukulang OEC. Ang OEC na ito ang ipapakita ng OFW sa mga awtoridad sa airport sa Pilipinas para sila ay makabalik sa pinagtatrabahuhan nila sa Turkey. -End.
