Fees for Re-audition and Rescheduling
All entertainers who fail in the auditions may apply for re-audition after a reasonable period of time.  Applicants for re-audition shall be required to pay the regular audition fees.

Issuance of Certificates
Application for audition can be undertaken either by the applicant-entertainer or by the duly accredited liaison officer of the agency where the entertainer has an application for overseas employment or by the entertainer's manager.  However, issuance of certificates shall strictly be to applicant-entertainers themselves only.
