The Easiest Way to Get a Travel Clearance

I just want to share the easiest way to get a travel clearance from DOST-SEI, based on my experience.

If you're going abroad for an event, business, or other valid reasons, then it's easy to get a travel clearance. For example, you have an event to attend outside the country, all you need to do is fax your letter that is addressed to:

ESTER B. OGENA, Ph.D.
Director
Science Education Institute
Department of Science and Technology

Here's a sample of my request letter for travel clearance.

And also fax a letter from your guarantor. The letter from the guarantor should indicate that they will be liable if ever you'll not return to the Philippines.

Here's a sample of my Guarantee Letter from my Guarantor.

DOST-SEI Fax No.: (02)8390086

After the fax has been sent, you need to call DOST-SEI at 837-2071 local 2382 or 839-0083 to confirm if you fax has been received by them.

Then wait for 2 to 3 days for you to pick up your clearance. You need to call them first if your clearance is ready for pick up.

That's all. I hope this helps.

Should i get my clearance first and show it pagmagapply na po ako ng passport?
may out of the country trip po kasi ako pero naguguluhan po ako process kung paano po ako kukuha ng passport if may bond pa ako sa dost.

thanks!

hi ..
if you are done with service obligation :
FIRST: secure a clearance from DOST main office in Bicutan , with ff cmm: Transcript of records from school . diploma , and Certificate of Employment which is equal or more than the length of your scholarship program.
SECOND: 3 working days po ung processing nun . .(ung sken ipinadala nila sa home address ko via snail mail) . pde mo na balikan un after 3 days or for sure ask mo nlng dun sa main office.
THIRD: tatlo po ung clearance na ibibgay sau
1. Certification - copy mo
2. Clearance for DFA
3. Clearance for Bureau of Immigration
4TH: if on hand na sayo ung clearance/s, pde ka na mag apply ng passport .dun mo ngaun ipapakita ung clearance for DFA
5TH: then if you are travelling abroad , kelangan punta ka sa bureau of immigration intramuros , for clearance.saglit lang po un ..chap lng nila ng "no derogatory records" .then you are done!
then you ccan go wherever you want! have a good day!

But im not done yet with my service obligation what you said applicable pa din po sya?

if you're not done with the service obligation , di k p pde mag secure ng clearance .one of the requirements kc sa clearance sa DOST ay ung certificate of employment..

try your luck sa pagkuha ng passport.
ung friend ko k c nkkuha ng passport without ung clearance galing sa DOST.
naku bka di k p mkaalis nyan if di kp cleared . unless work-related ung trip mo..pde k humingi ng request sa company mo (if ever working kn) , na ipapadala k abroad .
but if personal na lakad yan , well try your luck .

try mo nlng muna kmuha ng passport . if di hingin ung clearance. swerte!
if hiningi , you really have to be totally cleared before going out of the country,
Goodluck po !
