The Philippine Embassy in Bangkok wishes to inform the public, especially overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), about the Department of Migrant Workers’ (DMW) Mobile Application: OFW Pass.
What is the OFW Pass?
The OFW Pass serves as an identification and a prerequisite for an Exit Clearance for Overseas Workers (OFWs) with active contracts. It is available for FREE through the DMW Mobile App. This convenient and tamper-proof digital identification empowers you with a trusted identity solution, ensuring smoother interactions with employers, government agencies, and service providers.
Ang OFW Pass ay magsisilbing patunay bilang isang OFW at kinakailangang hakbang sa pagkuha ng Exit Clearance para sa Overseas Workers (OFWs) na may aktibong kontrata. Bukod sa "tamper-proof," isa rin sa ginhawang hatid ng digital identification na ito ay katiyakang magiging mas maayos ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga employer, ahensiya ng pamahalaan, at mga service provider.
The features of this app are as follows:
- It replaces the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) with an online version;
- Each OFW Pass account is a repository of the OFWs' vital information, such as passport details, personal details and employment contracts; and
- It includes a directory of the hotlines of all Philippines Embassies, Philippine Consulates General and Migrant Workers Offices worldwide.
OFW Pass is currently on a pilot test run in 10 countries, namely, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Qatar, Oman, Taiwan, Japan, and the United Kingdom. While it is not fully operational and is still undergoing technical changes and improvements, it can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and the App Store.
