Do they need a travel clearance permit?
my wife and two kids(12 and 10 years old)from the philippines are coming here this month of april under my sponsorship. Do they need a travel clearance permit? if needed where to get the permit? should i get here in philippine embassy or my wife should get in the philippines at DSWD? and also how can they be exempted from paying travel tax?
thanks for the reply.
if children are travelling with mother, no need to get a travel permit...
Yes, children under 18 years old are required to have a travel clearance permit from DSWD either when travelling unaccompanied by both parents or accompanied by one of the parents. In your case, the following requirements:
1. Parental Travel Permit - DSWD form
2. Birth Certificate - NSO security paper
3. Marraige Certificate
4. Passport and visa copy of the accompanying parent
The DSWD office is located in Malate, Manila. It usually takes 1 week to process the permit (god willing). Also, i doubt if they will be eligible for tax exemption that you are entitled as OFW.
