The POEA, in its letter dated
13 June 2008, has informed of the new-on-line application process for the
issuance of the POEA travel exit clearance for Balik-Manggagawa I
workers-on-leave (BM I WOL).
Previously, OFWs would have
to proceed to the POEA office and Philippine Overseas Labor Offices to apply
for their exit clearance. With this online application system, the OFW can
avail of the 2-way delivery system through the internet and have the
clearance delivered back to their residence. There will be no need to go to
the POEA. Since the application is online, this can be done virtually
anywhere where there is an internet connection. This gives OFWs more time to
spend with family and friends while vacationing in the Philippines.
To apply, the BM 1 WOL simply
logs onto www.oecdelivery.com.ph and follow the instructions as detailed in
the website. The service is available nationwide.
Should the BM I WOL decide
not to avail of the 2-way Delivery System, they have the option to print out
the OFW Info Sheet after applying on line and proceed to the POEA to file
their application.
The BM I WOL may also secure
their POEA travel exit clearance at the following:
a. Balik-Manggagawa
Processing Division (BMPD), Service Area, POEA, Blas F. Ople Bldg., Ortigas
corner EDSA, Mandaluyong City
b. POEA Regional Centers I
Regional Extension Units (REUs) and Satellite Offices
c. POEA-deputized OWWA
Regional Offices and Units
d. Philippine Overseas Labor
Offices (POLO) in various Philippine Embassies and Consulates abroad
e. Exit Clearance One-Way
Delivery System (Dropbox) POEA Service Area
f. POEA, REU-La Union,
Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban, Davao, POLOJeddah and Singapore, for the issuance
of the Multiple Travel Exit Clearance (MTEC).
The MTEC is a set of two or
more clearances issued to workers-on-leave 1 balik-maggagawa (BM 1 WOL) for
use as an exit document within a period of twelve months from date of
issuance. It allows the WOL I BM who exits from the Philippines more than
once in a period of 12 months to secure his exit clearance on a one-time
basis.
For more information, the
OFWs may also visit POEA website at www.poea.qov.ph.
The new system is part of
POEA's continuous effort to provide quality service to OFWs.
