How to Get OEC at NAIA Terminal 3

Overseas Filipino Workers have a privilege of having an Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) to ensure that they are properly documented and protected.

This certification is under the rules and regulations of the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA), and is sometimes called the “exit pass”. This will serve as a proof that the bearer is an OFW and will be presented to the international port of exits in the Philippines.

An OEC will give an OFW the exemption to pay travel tax and airport terminal fees.
