Although lifted ang travel ban sa mga scholars at former scholars(those rendering service). Ma-enjoy mo lang travel ban sa mga Visa-free countries (ASEAN COUNTRIES, Brazil etc), dahil wala naman pangalan natin sa Bureau of Immig ng Pinas.
(batch 2003 grants-onwards is when the travel ban was lifted.. not sure with this fact.... I read it somewhere long time ago.. nalimutan ko na where..)
So if need mo mag-apply for VISA, one of the requirements is an NBI clearance kung saan naka-reflect ang DOST-SEI status natin. Be it for a short time, long term or for migration purposes.
It's either you render service or you pay the amount plus 12% ata yun... Either way madali lang naman cia parehas.. as long as you comply with the requirements..
Cheers!

Besides, maganda na I-solid mo na 5 years experience mo para mas mataas ang EOI points mo.. Pero kung nagmamadali ka magmigrate yung DOST bond na plus 12% is nababawasan siya sa year of service mo.. kasi nagpacompute ako nung 2 years na ako sa service obligation.(binalak ko magabroad agad nung kabataan ko.. atat ba.. ehehe)..
Siempre nabawasan yung supposedly na babayaran ko..
pero di rin nagmaterialize ang pagaabroad ko nun kasi may GF ako nung time nayun.. di ko magawang iwanan.. LOL
Later on pumayag din nang LDR after macomplete ang service obligation(SAKTO).. and now...we are married.. ahaha.. (may storya pa)
Best of luck mate..

Hello po. May nakapag-big move na po ba dito this year, kahit walang clearance from DOST? Thank you!
Joined: May 27, 2021
Hi, meron po bang DOST scholar na nag big move recently? Hinanapan po ba kayo ng clearance sa immigration? I wasnt able to complete my scholarship with DOST-ERDT in 2014, but wala naman ako naging problems with passport, NBI and visa. Need pa po ba ako kumuha ng clearance sa BOI just to be sure?

Hi po. Do we need to secure clearance pa rin kahit narender na yung number of years in service? If yes, anyone knows po how to apply via online? Or only doable via personal visit on offices po? TIA.

Hello po, I think mas maganda pa din na magrequest ka na ng final clearance since nafulfill mo naman na yung obligation. Mag email lang po kayo sa seischolarships@gmail.com. Heto yung sakin before (2019):
Then ilang months lang nasend na nila yung clearance ko. Request mo na habang nag aasikaso ka ng ibang requirements mo.
