BI, DMW systems integration seen to expedite OFW immigration clearance
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has integrated the Overseas Employment Certificates (OEC) into its system, aiming to expedite the immigration processing for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
The OEC functions as an exit clearance and verifies employment abroad for Filipino workers.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco stated that this integration is a key step in the BI's modernization efforts, promising quicker and more efficient immigration clearances for OFWs.
This initiative was a collaborative effort between the BI and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), designed to provide a smoother experience for OFWs.
The new system enables real-time data sharing between the BI and DMW, allowing for immediate verification of OEC details and a streamlined process for OFWs.
