The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Western Visayas’ S-PaSS (Safe, Swift and Smart Passage) now has a total of 611,042 registrants who were provided with a common and unified platform for communicating travel policies and requirements as of 23 April 2021. 

S-PaSS is an online travel management system developed by DOST-VI that facilitates the application process of necessary travel permits needed before travel if required, depending on the travel policy of the destination local government unit or LGU.  If the traveler is going to an LGU with “Restricted” travel policy, application for a Travel Coordination Permit (TCP) is required.  On the other hand, when traveling to an LGU with “Unrestricted” travel policy but passing through areas with strict travel protocols, DOST recommends that a Travel Pass-Through Permit (TPP) be generated to be presented to the appropriate authorities when requested.
