The Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) is a document issued by the DMW, which serves as an “travel exit clearance” for OFWs that certifies they have appropriately registered their employment activities with DMW. This is issued to new hires before their deployment, and to returning OFWs (Balik Manggagawa).
The OEC is being presented to the Immigration Department upon exit from the Philippines and its validity is sixty (60) days from the date of issuance. It also serves as an exemption from payment of travel tax and terminal fees.
To be able to apply for an OEC, you must have an E-registration account. You can check the DMW E-registration portal here:
