How To Apply for an NBI Clearance Online?


If you are in need of an NBI clearance right away, worry no more because the process is now automated and the pre-registration is all done online.

Just a brief background, before, once you arrive at the NBI office, you will fall in line for a couple of hours then you have to do the registration manually on paper. That'll will take time. And if that is not enough, you will still have to wait another couple of hours to see if you have a "hit". A hit means that some parts of your name or your full name have a match with another individual which has a criminal record. That means, you will still need to wait a week so that NBI can clear your name and you your clearance. You will dedicated a day or if you have hit, two days. Hassle huh?

Well, luckily it is less of a hassle now because the registration is done online. You will sign up in the NBI site entering your personal information and plot a schedule in your preferred branch. This way, before you go to the branch, a "hit" can be searched beforehand. Although, the falling in line part will still take around 2 hours.

Note: You can't apply for a clearance now without an appointment made online.


To apply for a clearance, follow these steps.

1. Proceed to https://nbi-clearance.com/ . The website looks like the below image, if not, do not proceed. Some sites copy government websites to just get your personal information.

2. Register.
3. Log-in.
4. Your profile is displayed. Check if your information are correct. If not, click the Edit Information. If all are correct, click the Apply Clearance.

5. Select a branch.
6. Select a schedule.
7. Select a payment option, then pay your clearance for P115.00. Once your payment is paid, proceed to Transaction.

8. Click Details and print your application form and bring it to the branch of your choice with your valid ID.
9. If you don't have a hit, you will get your clearance the same day.

How To Get Your Airfare for Half the Price?


Free stuff! Who doesn't want one, right? If you can get half of the airfare price for free, that is a chance you should not pass. But would you be able to do that exactly?

Disclamer: I am not a Credit Card promoter/agent or whatever. If you are interested, contact the bank or there are so many agents promoting in malls. Just make sure it is a Cashback or Rewards type of card.



Almost a year ago, I changed the way I look at a credit card. It's not credit for me, it is POINTS. I use it not to buy things that so expensive that I "needed" to borrow money, I use it to pay regular bills that I will pay for anyway in cash or at the bank. In this way, I earn so much points monthly without going out of my budget because, IT IS MY BUDGET.

If you want to know more about this habit that I have adapted, proceed here. I am using a Rewards Card from Citibank and so far, I have accumulated 53,000+ in one year! Because of this, I have booked a flight to Korea for about PHP 6,000 instead of  PHP 12,000 (with tax). And note that, I booked this only 3 weeks before that actual flight.

If you are interested for a packaged tour in Seoul, South Korea, Trazy.com is a good source for discounted tours!
