Yes, but as quoted in DSWD website:Originally Posted by joebloggs
yes i think you need travel clearance.. a Filipino child (below 18 years of age) traveling abroad alone or with someone other than his/her parents needs travel clearance
affidavit of support i don't think I've ever heard of it b4, i know i didn't get one for my stepson
WHO DOES NOT NEED TRAVEL CLEARANCE?
All minors other than those cited above, for example:
A minor traveling to a foreign country with either parent or with his or her solo parent or legal guardian;
A minor traveling abroad whose parents are in the Foreign Service or living abroad or are immigrants, provided he/she is holding a valid pass such as a dependents visa/pass/identification card or permanent resident visa/pass/identification card which serves as proof that he/she is living with parents abroad and their travel does not constitute child trafficking.
If my son has been given a dependent visa, does that mean he is exempted then?
If by some reason my Mum or my son will not get their visa approved. I will have to make an appeal. I cannot take a holiday off from my work. :(
@ Jim: Thank you Jim. I will pass along the information to my friend as well.
