Lately maraming nagpapa-translate sa akin ng “Gensen”, yung Income Tax Certificate sa Japan. Nang tinanong ko kung para saan yong Gensen, sabi nila para daw sa Minor’s Travel Clearance sa DSWD. (Gusto nilang papuntahin ang mga anak nila sa Japan, pero yung isang parent lang ang uuwi para sunduin ang mga bata.)
Ang natatandaan ko, last time na umuwi ang anak ko, hindi naman kinailangan nitong Gensen, yong Birth Certificate lang at Letter of Consent.
Kaya akala ko isa na namang idinagdag ito ng kung sino man ang nasa counter doon sa DSWD. Pero nang tsekin ko ang webpage ng DSWD, nakasulat nga ito sa mga requirements (http://www.dswd.gov.ph/faqdetails.php?id=42 ). (Mabuti at may webpage ang DSWD para ma-check ang talagang requirements – kung lahat sana ng government agencies meron nito.)
From DSWD’s page:
What Are the Requirements for Securing a Travel Clearance?
-
Birth certificate on security paper (SECPA) of the minor.
-
Certified copy of Marriage certificate of minor’s parents, if appropriate.
-
Notarized affidavit of consent from parents/guardian authorizing a particular person to accompany child in his/her travel abroad
-
Notarized affidavit of support of sponsor indicating employment and salary certified by the employer, if appropriate.
-
Certified copy of latest income tax return of sponsoring person and/or parent with official confirmation receipts.
-
Two passport - size pictures of minor.
-
Photo copy of passport and visa of travelling companion.Malamang may valid reason ang DSWD kung bakit may Income Tax Return requirement para ma-issue-han nitong Travel Clearance, pero marami ang nagtataka kung bakit. Hindi ba sapat na maipakita na may approval ninyong dalawang parents ang travel ng inyong anak (with Birth Certificate, Affidavit of Consent, etc.) para ma-release ang Travel’s Clearance?
Sabi ng isang nakausap ko, sabi daw sa kanya doon sa DSWD, “para masiguro kung may maibibigay na support ang parent(s)” doon sa bata. Hindi ko sigurado pero hindi kaya mali ang ganitong explanation? May karapatan ba ang gobyerno na pigilin ang travel ng isang bata kahit may approval ng parents dahil lang sa wala silang maipakitang support?

Hello reon san! Ask ko lang kung kailangan pa ba ng anak ko ang dswd na yan kasi di naman sya tourist eh. Long term visa sya 3 years valid. Nakapunta na sya dito isang beses kasama ko at tinanong ko sa immigration sa airport na baka pwede next time na bumalik sya dito sa japan ay sya na lang mag-isa at ang sabi naman ay o.k. naman basta may alien card na sya. Totoo kaya ito kasi gusto ko pa ring makasiguro.

Hello Laiza, para lang sa minors (below 18) yung travel clearance. Siguro kung 16 lang siya o 17, puwede siyang sumakay sa eroplano nang mag-isa pero kailangan pa rin ng travel clearance galing sa DSWD.

Ohayo Reon san! Thank you for replying. Alam ko ngayon kahit walang dswd k lang uso nga yata ngayon ang escort lang hanggang makapasok sa eroplano. Nung umuwi nga ang anak ko galing dito pinasabay ko na lang sa friend ko, pero kumuha ako ng papel galing embasssy pero sa una ayaw nga nilang tanggapin. Next time di na raw pwede ang papel lang kahit galing pa sa embassy, why kaya? So, ibig sabihin wala rin palang kwenta kahit kumuha ka ng papel sa embassy natin dito. Magbabayad ka pa ng mahal di rin pala pwede.

Thanks reon. Very informative and I am amongst who occassionally undergo DSWD clearance processing for my wife and family.
I would like to add but I am not sure if this is applicable still. The last time my family came back for holidays in summer of 2005, the processing was sped up by previous copy of clearance application (because the verification process is still mechanical). So I recommend to keep with you past copies so that DSWD have some refence when applying again.
Hope that is helpful too.

Na experience ko na ring mahold sa immigration dahil sa DSWD Clearance. Pero pina fax lang naman sa asawa ko yong additional papers. Too late naman dahil naiwan na kami ng eroplano. Kaya the next day na kami nakaalis nong mga bata.
Kaya advantage na talaga ang updated ka sa ganitong mga bagay. Thanks Reon.

Hello Laiza san, sana makita mo ito para masagot. How much did you pay sa embassy to be able to have that paper sa embassy. Ano nga po palang document ang nakuha mo doon sa embassy. Thank you. Hope you will be able to see this.

Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Esperanza I. Cabral has issued amended guidelines which aim to simplify and shorten application and issuance of travel clearance for minors travelling abroad.
A travel clearance is a document issued by the DSWD to a minor who is below 18 years of age travelling abroad alone or with someone other than his parents. The travel clearance is issued as a measure to prevent child trafficking.

DSWD issues new guidelines for minors traveling abroad

Inquirer
THE GOVERNMENT has simplified the paper requirements for minors traveling overseas.
A person aged 18 years and below will no longer need a travel clearance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development under the following circumstances:
• If he or she is traveling abroad with either a parent or with a legal guardian;
• If the minor traveling alone can show proof that his or her parents are in the foreign service or are living abroad – the proof can be in the form of a dependent’s visa, valid pass or ID that will show that he is living with his parents overseas.
Considered a measure against child trafficking, a clearance must still be secured from the DSWD and presented at the airport by a minor living in the Philippines who is traveling alone or is accompanied by a person other than his parents.
The new guidelines took effect on March 31 under DSWD Administrative Order 02-2006, a statement which was faxed to the Inquirer Tuesday by the Bureau of Immigration office at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Volt Contreras

nasty…walang magagawa kung yan ang isa sa mga kailangan para maka pag release ng travel clearance ng anak mo … madali lang naman yan… gumawa ka ng letter of consent at ipa-authenticate mo sa Philippine Embassy … tinatatakan lang naman yan. mura lang ang alam kong bayad dyan at hindi din matagal ang proseso basta dala mo yung makakapagpatunay na anak mo yung dadalhin dito ng ate mo. kaya bago ka pumunta dun … tumawag ka sa hindi busy na oras para may kumausap sa yo… panigurado po sa mga kakailanganing dalhin ng hindi naman masayang pagod at pamasahe mo sa pagpunta duon.
