Dubai - Get it done at the consulate.
Published: Fri 9 Feb 2018, 5:44 PM
The Philippine Consulate in Dubai has just announced a new system that will help Filipinos in the emirate secure a good conduct certificate faster.
It comes as welcome update after the UAE implemented the requirement. Earlier this month, those looking to obtain work visas must produce a certificate of good conduct from the travellers' country of origin. Those who are already employed within the UAE are exempt from the rule.
In a video announcement, Philippine consul general Paul Raymund Cortes said that in order to ease the process for Filipinos, the consulate has set up an appointment system for those in need of the certificate. In the Philippines, this certificate is known as the 'NBI Clearance,' a document issued by the National Bureau of Investigation.
The new system is dedicated for Filipinos in Dubai who are currently on visit visas.
Most importantly, the system also allows Filipinos to have their fingerprinting done in the consulate - a vital step to secure the good conduct certificate. This means Filipinos on visit visas no longer need to go to police stations to get their fingerprints done.
Apart from this, those who wish to get their fingerprints done at the police station can do so, the video added.
