Travel Authority (TA) refers to an Order in writing issued by the approving authority allowing an official or employee to proceed to a specific place or location (the regular place of work and where the official/employee is expected to stay most of the time as required by the nature, duties and responsibilities of the position) outside of their permanent official station for a specific period of time to perform a given assignment or accomplish a personal purpose.Â
Based on the Omnibus Travel Guidelines for All Personnel of the Department of Education (DepEd Orders No. 043 and 046, s. 2022) DepEd officials or employees may request TA for either of the following:Â
• Official Travel – trips pursuant to a legitimate function or interest. These may either be official business (where transportation, miscellaneous, and daily travel expenses aside from salaries and benefits, are incurred and funded by the Department) or official time (where no government expenses are incurred/spent aside from the payment of salaries/benefits).Â
• Personal Travel – private trips for personal purpose and undertaken without cost to the government.Â
Official or Personal Travel may be further categorized into foreign (trips outside the Philippines) or local (trips outside the permanent official station).Â
The minimum conditions for a trip to be considered official travel are the following:Â
g. Highly relevant to basic education; for foreign official travel, must be in compliance with an international commitment/contractual obligation.Â
h. Essential to the effective performance of official/employee mandate of functions.Â
i. Projected expenses involve minimum expenditure or are not excessive.Â
j. Presence is critical to the outcome of the activity to be undertaken.Â
k. Absence from the permanent official station will not hamper the operational efficiency of the office.Â
l. Expenses to be incurred is included on the approved Work and Financial Plan of the office/unit concerned.Â
DepEd officials and employees may apply for travel authority for the these foreign official travels:Â
d. International conferences/meetings to which the Philippine government has commitments or to undertake official missions/assignments which cannot be assigned to government officials posted abroad;Â
e. Scholarships, fellowships, trainings, and studies abroad which are grant-funded or undertaken at minimal cost; andÂ
f. Invitations for speaking engagements or receiving of awards from foreign governments/ institutions or international agencies/organizations as defined under international law, whether fully or partially funded by the government, upon endorsement to the Department of Foreign Affairs.Â
Note that travel authority shall not be issued for the following officials and employees:Â

b. Will retire within one year from the date of the foreign official travel; 401Â
c. Whose previous travel has not been liquidated and cleared;Â
d. Who has not yet complied with reporting requirement/s for any previous travelÂ
DepEd officials and employees may apply for travel authority (TA) for private trips purely for personal purpose and undertaken without cost to the government. However, foreign scholarships/trainings sourced and pursued in their personal capacity need to be brought to the attention of the immediate supervisor or head of office before applying for TA. Likewise, those who intend to study abroad may be required to comply with the required service obligation after the period of their leave.Â
Note that those who have pending administrative case/s, unliquidated / no clearance / noncompliance to reportorial requirement for any previous travel shall not be granted foreign personal TA.Â
