Certificate of Not the Same Person

Requested from BI by M. Cervanez at 02:42 PM on Jan 24, 2024.
Purpose: Certificate of Not the Same Person (NTSP) is it automatically required if with NBI HIT
Date of Coverage: 01/24/2024 - 01/24/2024
Tracking no: #BI-700281610119

Cervanez 02:42 PM, Jan 24, 2024

Hi,

I am traveling to Singapore next month and to prepare, I requested for an NBI clearance (not required, but just wanted to have it in case it’s needed).

When I went to claim my NBI, I found my name has a HIT. They advised me to come back after a week - I did - and now I have my NBI clearance.

Question is - since I have a HIT, do I automatically now need a NTSP certificate? Or will the NBI clearance suffice?

I don’t want to get held up in immigration but also do not want to spend extra time and money if I don’t have to.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for accepting my request. I would just like to advise that my partner who is also traveling with me to Singapore has the same concern as I originally stated in this ticket.

Let me know if I should provide his name here, or if you can just confirm that we are to follow the same steps since we have the same concern.

Thanks!
