Travel permit needed for trips abroad, govt execs, workers reminded



Government officials and workers in the executive branch will need a travel permit to go abroad.

The reminder came from the Bureau of Immigration, which said the permits will help them avoid delays at immigration processing.

"According to the rules, those needing travel authorization from MalacaƱang are Department Secretaries, officials of equivalent rank, heads of government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and government financing institutions (GFIs) attached to the office of the President," the BI said.

BI Commissioner Siegfred Mison said the policy is in accordance with laws and administrative issuances "over the past decades."

Under the rules, the BI said governors and mayors must get permission and authorization from the Department Of The Interior and Local Government secretary.

Heads of state universities and colleges shall secure their travel authorization from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) while officials and employees of such institutions shall get their travel permit from their schools' heads.

Officials and employees of other agencies under or attached to the Office of the President must get authorization from the heads of their respective agencies.  Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
