Years Old |work| | Dswd Certificate Requirements For Minors Traveling Abroad Philippines 18

If an 18-year-old is going abroad as an OFW (domestic helper, factory worker, etc.) for the first time, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), not the DSWD, requires a different set of documents. An 18-year-old OFW does not need a DSWD clearance because they are of legal working age.
