NEW ON-LINE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE PHILIPPINE OVERSEAS EMPLOYMENT AGENCY (POEA) TRAVEL EXIT CLEARANCE FOR BALIK-MANGGAGAWA/WORKERS-ON-LEAVE (BM/WOL)

Please be informed that the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) has a new on-line application process for the issuance of travel exit clearance for Balik-Manggagawa/Workers-on-leave . With this new on-line application, they do not need to proceed to the POEA office and Philippine Overseas Labor Offices but can now avail of the 2-way delivery system through the internet and have the clearance delivered back to their residence.

To apply, the Balik-Manggagawa/Worker-on-leave (BM/WOL) logs onto www.oec.delivery.com.ph and simply follow the instructions as detailed in the website. The delivery service is available nationwide.

Should the BM/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.

Furthermore, they may also secure their POEA travel exit clearance at the following:

• Balik-manggagawa Processing Division (BMPD), Service Area, POEA, Blas F. Ople Bldg., Ortigas corner EDSA, Mandaluyong City
• POEA Regional Centers/Regional Extension Units (REUs) and Satellite Offices
• POEA-deputized OWWA Regional Offices and Units
• Philippine Overseas Labor Offices (POLOs) in various Philippine Embassies and Consulates abroad
• Exit Clearance One-Way Delivery System (Dropbox) POEAService Area
• POEA, REU-La Union, Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban, Davao, POLO-Jeddah 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 / balik- manggagawa (BM/WOL) for use as an exit document within a period of twelve (12) months from date of issuance. It allows the WOL/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.
