Travel Question

[stinkaboy]

pupunta ng hong kong pinsan ko kasama 4yr old son niya, since shes a single parent ( not married) does she need to have A DSWD papers with her? since her son is a minor? and she had separated with the son's father.

[_Qwerty_]

you need the DSWD if you are applying for VISA.. pero wala namang VISA going to hongkong..

baka pwede nang photocopy nang birth certificate nang bata??

so if the country you're visiting doesn't require visa you dont have to secure a DSWD permit?

If you're just visiting (tourist) no need. However, if you would be working in there and you intend to bring your child with you (being a single parent), you would need an authorization from the DSWD and a formal, written consent from your ex-spouse (if you were married before but not legally separated). This is even of the country does not require a visa.

However, I think it would be prudent to ask the DSWD. No harm in asking.

depends on how long she will stay in HK.... is she staying there for good? or is she staying there for working? or on vacation?

imho, ang HK would only allow you to stay without visa for a certain number of months din, so after that you would need some certain visa to work or to live there for a longer period of time or permanently. if this is the case, it is required that the kid also should have a visa. for application of visa, specially for separated parents, i don't think a DSWD clearance would be required. a birth certificate would be a requirement and some legal order (if separation is legally ordered e.g. legal separation or annulment) would be helpful or can be presented just in case.

hth.

As for the birth certificate of the child, it should be an authenticated photocopy from the NSO.

bakasyon lg naman eh, she went to DSWD yesterday sabi na revised na daw yung family code last march 31, 2006. The child can go with her without a travel consent from DSWD pero gusto lg nya magsiguro.

kailangan ng DSWD travel clearance, nagbago na sila in the sense na yun clearance is good for 1 year na unlike before na u need a new for every travel...

[boybi]

di ba when the child travels with both parents, hindi na kelangan ng DSWD clearance? what if sabay ang both parents and the child lumabas ng pinas, then dad lang ang kasamang bumalik? kelangan ba ng clearance?

[StraightSix]

Pag-exit lang hinahanap.

[non-vtec]

afaik, hindi na kailangan ng permit since kasama naman both ang parents.

[Radical!]

I read in the papers a couple of months back that the DSWD lifted this requirement. Not quite sure about this, so it's best to call them...

Sorry ... nalito ako sa tanong

Hinahanap nga lang pala yung clearance kapag hindi kasama o isang magulang lang kasama ng bata, palabas ng Pilipinas. Naalala ko kasi yung problema ni misis nung nagbakasyon siya sa Pilipinas, kasama bunso namin. Pabalik na siya dito sa UK nang hanapan ba naman ng DSWD clearance at written consent ko. Ano? Consent para makasama ko uli yung bata?

I think your question has been answered. Happy trip na lang sa pinsan mo.
