Thank you!!!!

  18. Good Day po.

    ask lang po aku kung pwede pa poba magapply as SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR SA NBI? pero yung average kopo is diko alam kung 84% yun kc yung nakalagay sa certification ko sa GWA is 1.6%.

    ask ko lang din po kun pwede nadin aku magapply 24 y/o. palang po aku next april pa aku mag 25..please inform if i am able to apply that particular position thru my email add. thanks po.

  20. hi BEEd graduate po aq, csc eligible din po at nakapasa na po aq ng LET Exam peru hindi ko passion ang pagtuturo….nais ko sana mag apply sa nbi,,,pwede po ba ako dun?22 years old pa lang po aq

  22. Good day! Pano kaya kung lagpas na sa age limit,
    pero na meet na naman ang requirements? ok lang yun ‘di ba? Tnx

  23. As a former applicant i suggest do good, and pass the grueling, and killer “Neuro examination” the way i did (modesty aside). Before i took the the exam my schoolmate (who has been in the Bureau ahead of me) advised me to do my best with the Neuro examination because there are also Lawyer and Doctor applicants who fail the examination. If i am not mistaken the examinations is held for three (3) days 8am to 5pm. After completing the said examinations you have to wait for uncertainty, and if one day you receive a call from the Bureau informing you that they would be conducting a background investigation about you (they would personally visit you in your given location, or abode) and be prepared for the background check, just be honest, never attempt to tell a lie, otherwise you are courting disaster. Lastly, PRAY HARD.

  24. If you are below minimum of their requirements, they w0nt hire you; the applcati0n pr0cessing is very l0ng; for SI they will pri0ritize those wh0 are a graduate of law, but of c0urse we are all equal f0oting when it c0mes to their specifics. They are extremely fair!

  26. Mam, alam nyo po ba yung initial requirements na isusubmit sa NBI pag nag apply? Ex. TOR, Barangay clearance etc… Thanks po.

  27. I’m not a CPA nor a Lawyer, but I’m an accountancy graduate who passed the civil service examination(PROF) and currently enrolled at a law school. Any vacant position in the agency? Where to apply and how?

  28. nag start na ba sila mag hire ngaung 2014?? matagal ba ang process?? inaabot ba ng ilang buwan???

  29. nakakatawa ang autobiography part ng exam, tackle pati S life. against na yun sa civil rights ng constitution. so to speak, illegal!

      • Pano lag bisexual or lesbian do they take it against you? And also, im lacking height!! Im almost 5. 4’11 lng ata ako if im not mistaken. Should they entertain me and have a chance? Gano katagal ang application and may payment na ba once you are in the training? Im CPA and currently taking up law. TIA

        • *correction..Will they entertain me?**
          Do i have a chance even im lacking the height requirement?

          *payment-i was referring po sa salary once nasa training na…

  30. I really want to become an agent. I graduated with honors and passed the civil service exam but I’m too young. I’m only 19 years old.

  31. HELLO PO AKO PO SI CHRISTIAN G. DALAGUNAN AKO PO AY TGAGA DAVAO GUSTO KO PO NA MAGIN ISANG JUNIOR AGENT NANG NBI GUSTO KO PO NA MAKAPAG LING KOD SA BAYAN

  32. last time i was there, i happen to listen to a conversation between a visitor and a senior official, where the former requested the release of a person suspected for a commission of a crime under a particular agent who made the arrest. iba talaga ang nagagawa ng pera. madumi ang nbi, kung makapasok man ay siguradong pipinturahan ng pula ang likod mo kung hindi ka matalas.

  33. good day to all of us, i would like to apply for a fingerprint examiner II ? what i might going to do?
    what is the requirements and,qualification needed,where it should be send? by the way I’m from Cebu. city

  34. hello …there…i am studying forensic science and lets say i pass all the requirements can i apply for NBI in the future?

  36. gudeve sir/mam, ask ko lng po kung ung bs public administration pi ba e pwdeng maging nbi agent?!. or CPA and LAW lng tlga ang kailangan..

  37. Maam ask ko lng po kung pwede po ba mag apply as nbi agent kahit na may tatoo ako sa likod..
    Security guard po ako…
    Salamat po

  39. Degrees won’t be an advantage neither intelligence… It’s common that the applicant agents or si’s should have those… But not all are wholly fit as a person for these positions. Qualifying exams are not easy and they will make sure that only deserving applicants will succeed.

  40. If you’re concerned about the compensation/salary…forget about applying. The position is a public servant! If the government decides not to pay you…they can…

  41. It’s not as easy as you people think. You may be a lawyer, CPA or whatever educational attainment you have, you won’t get the position if its not meant for you.

  42. This is a very inf0rmative bl0g. Btw, I’m a CPA, I will turn 25 this September. If ever I would be able to hurdle the initial exams and be sent to training afterwards, I’m n0t that financially capable to supp0rt the peri0d of training, though for all I know there would be n0 fees to be c0llected. Because in my case, I am the breadwinner of our family. My questi0n is this: would there be any c0mpensati0n the trainee would be receiving for the peri0d of training? Thanks Fhel.

    Regards

  43. gud day sir! i am a criminologist and 5’4 1/2… do i stil have a chance? i am willing to be in the NBI tnx much ….

    • If you really have a masters degree in criminal justice then you should know the answer to your question.

  46. Hi! I am an Accountancy Graduate but not yet CPA.. Am i qualified for Special Investigator as of now?

  47. I have both the qualification of being a CPA and a Lawyer but I’m already 37 years old. What are my chances? Do they put more weight on age in their screening process? My grades were not very remarkable during my studies at the law school in FEU, the same thing when i was pursuing my Accounting degree also at FEU, but nevertheless, i never got a failed rating on any subject.

  48. hi mam!

    if my height is just 4’11, can I waived that height requirement if I belong to the minority group?

    thanks..

  50. hi mam,

    • Good day ma’am i am a graduate of electronics engineering, and i want to be a part of NBI as special investigator, am i qualified though i am not yet taking my board exam???

  51. are they strict with regard to age? over 35 y/o is an automatic disqualification. I am 38 y/o and still awaiting for the result of the bar this march 2014.

  52. Hi Reman,

    I had tried the same step before. After few months of waiting for their response, they instructed me to report at NBI Training Division. Actually, to show your intent and will to join the prestigious agency, email is not enough, better if you will go directly at the Training Division. I believe they are currently hiring both Agent and Special Investigator, and because of rigid qualifying test, they need more qualified applicant to fill the quota for the upcoming batch of training. Hope you could make it Reman. Good Luck!

  53. Hi mam,

    nagsubmit na po ako sa email ad na pinopost mo… sana mabasa nila… im a cpa and a barrister. i have been with private employers for 9 years but i decided to join government. sana lang po, mababasa ni Director ang email ko 🙁 is there a way to find out if they have read my application?

    Regards,
    Reman

  63. Hi Fehl,

    Good day! I heard that every nbi agent will not be assigned to their home place. I just wanna ask if this is really mandatory assigning every agent away from their own place/ area? I am a CPA by the way and I am quite interested of joining the academy. Thank you so much!

  65. hi guys, want to share a little of what i know in hiring nbi agents. there are 9steps to be able to enter this prestigious nbi academy. first is the preliminary medical exam where in they would check your vision and height. 20/20 for vision and 5’3 for female and 5’5 in height for male, no pierce and no tattoo, if you fall short on these you cant enter the academy. next is the written exam covering only english, essay and investigative exam. next is the preliminary interview, neuro, polygraphtest, complete medical exam, panel interview and so on. this process will take 6 to 12 months. seriously..

  67. Tanong ko lang po gusto ko po mag NBI agent kaso engineering graduate po ako pero nag kaexperience na po ako sa ibang bansa bilang engineer may chance po kaya ako dun?

  69. hello, maam im BSInfo-Tech Graduate po aq, graduate din po aq sa Masteral of Science in Information Technology and Civil Service Passer din,,am i qualified to be an NBI Agent?

    thanks po…

  71. Hi Jerald, since you are waiting for the deliveration, I suppose that you are done with the written exam, aren’t you??

  72. Wala nang hiring ng SI. Pumunta kasi kayo mismo sa NBI training Division para malaman niyo, ang kulang nila ay mga CPA at Lawyers.

  73. maam, how if im a criminology graduate and also a board passer? anu pong makukuha kong trabaho sa NBI?

  74. Waiting for the deliberation. How I wish I grow 2″ this week.
    Ang hirap pag kinapos sa height. Napapaisip tuloy ako, si Jose Rizal, naging dakila kahit maliit siya.
    Haayz.

      • Thanks Fehl. Ang tagal pala nila magresponse. May idea po ba kayo kung anong month ang training nila? Tinawagan ko kasi kaso hindi masagot ng training division.

        • I’m not affiliated or connected to NBI. It is really better to go there in person to apply for a job. I only shared this post here so everyone can know how to be an agent

  77. hi, may chance pa po ba ako in case na nagapply ako as S.I. sa NBI? dream ko talaga pumasok sa NBI ever since im a licensed architect @ 26 yrs old… sa lahat ng requirements ng special investigator mukhang sa grades ako mahanapan ng butas nyahahaha…. ask ko lan kung may pag asa ba ako pumasa kahit may failing grades ako? kalungkot naman 🙁

  78. hello mam fehl… can i ask if ever I was accepted to become a NBI agent because I was able to pass CPA board exam. Can i study in alaw school while having employed as an NBI agent. is there a conflict regarding these situation?

  80. I just submitted some of the requirements but I need to go back on Monday for vision testing.
    I hope I will be qualified. I’m just 5’3″ without shoes. The 2″ could break my dream. Good luck to me.

  83. hi,

  84. Hello

    May i ask sir\mam if their is a special consideration considering that my height is only 5’1 male, but im now a 4rth year law student. my questions is can i enter for the entry level since im not yet a lawyer? ur the NBI would accept only to the height as recommended by this prestigious Agency of the government.

    • Hi i po pwd po bng magng nbi staff or agent ang isang bsba graduate major in human resource
      develpment management. I really wntd to become
      Nbi agent/staff.thankyou

  85. As for salary inquiry, if you think you can be a good agent or investigator for sure that won’t be your main concern. But it is right that for S.I. it’s salary grade 18 or about 32K basic salary. Age requirement is peg at an age where they think a person is mature enough to handle the nature of work in the bureau. For NBI agent and Special Investigator applicants go directly to NBI Training Division in their main office at Taft Avenue, Manila and submit your resume there and if your qualified you will be scheduled for an exam…. I am not from connected or anything to NBI, this is just the little knowledge that I got from someone working there. Hope it helps our aspiring agents and investigator out there.

    • hello.. are they strict in there requirements that an applicant should had no failing grade?? please reply .. thank uou

    • Being an elite agency I guess they won’t settle for someone who can’t strictly meet the requirements. Remember that if you become an agent you will not be going after petty crimes like burglary or theft and ordinary neighbor disputes or traffic violators. You will handle cases against military and police personnel? Politicians and High ranking officials? And the most notorious and wanted person in the Philippines? That’s why I think they need only the best and as far as I know if ever you passed the initial qualifying exam you will be sent to NBI academy for your training, and you need to undergo and pass series of exams and test in order to graduate. Battling with lawyers and cpa’s at the same time? wohooo that’s tough! But mind you all…..there is no harm in trying if ever you fall short of their requirements… Good Luck!

    • Application for Agents is being handled by NBI Training Division and the Personnel Division handles applicants for regular office job at the bureau. And as of now their advisory is they are only accepting Lawyers and CPA’s who wants to become an NBI Agent and no recruitment for S.I. yet.

  86. Just wanna share the little knowledge that I know about NBI agents and Special Investigators. For Lawyers and CPA graduate you can be an NBI agent, for non-lawyer you are only qualified to as a Special Investigator. Even if you are a Law graduate and you haven’t pass the bar exam yet, you can never be an NBI agent.

  87. hi there, maitanong ko lang, pwede ba mag apply ng vacant position sa NBI kahit 21 years old pa lang?

  88. Hi Fehl! Here once again for your expert advice. Though I haven’t received a feedback from you, I just want to know if the NBI have a sort of program wherein its SI’s or employees are given the opportunity to pursue law?

    • Hello 🙂 I’m not an expert really and I’m not from the NBI so I don’t know the answer to this question. I think though just like other companies here, they offer chances for their employees to climb up the career or corporate ladder. If there are no programs, at least they give advices as to how you can pursue higher position or your dream position. Once you worked in a company, you can always know how to go further…

      • Hi Fehl! So delighted to read a response from you. Thank you for that opinion. As a personal circumstance, I am an officer of the Philippine Marines trying to explore options beyond service in uniform. I took up Political Science and History and a lucky CSE prof holder too. Do you think that my military background will be helpful in my application if ever? I really appreciate every response you give. Thank you and God bless.

  89. Thanks Fehl.
    I’ll apply next week. I hope they will consider.
    Hmm.. Just want to know if you have an idea on how long is the processing upon submission of the said requirements mentioned above?

    thanks again,.

  90. Hi Fehl,

    Good afternoon! I just want to ask what particular month NBI is hiring an agent? Or is is a whole year process?

    Thanks and regards,

    Emerson

    • I don’t know if they have grand recruitment period or whatever they call it.. but I think they’re hiring different positions any day. You must check out their “Career” section of their website although right now, it’s not yet available. I guess their website is still under construction. You can contact their personnel hotline anytime anyway to inquire for any opening. God bless!

          • Hi Fehl. Do you think an applicant with a military background would have an edge over the others given that all of the requirements are satisfied? Does the NBI have a sort of educational program for those SI’s who want to pursue law or something to that effect?

  92. hi fehl, remember me? ask ko lang uli do you have any idea about their exam coverage? i just only knew its essay and investigative type, do u have any idea? pls help me..thanks much!

    • Hello Cy 🙂 Yes I remember the name but cant remember what post we talked before…hehehe I have no idea about the exam coverage but IMHO it would really tackle investigative and logical things. Watch some shows like CSI Miami and indulge with Horatio Caine on weekend so you could say much things on the essays. You can surely learn a lot just by watching a full episode 🙂 DVD is P50 only hey! LOL

  93. thanks for the information. it would help a lot. may i ask if there’s an AGE requirement? I’m a CPA, 5’6 in height but I’m only 22 years old.

  95. hi! NBI is one of my dream.. I will be finishing my BS-Accountancy this coming October.. i had failing marks but i took the subjects again (re-enrolled) and i passed.. can i still be qualified?..

  96. Good Day to everyone. i want to become a NBI agent thats why i studied Bachelor of Science and Accountancy. and to take board exam on October 2013, But as i read this blog. There is a problem. It is my Eye sight. and is not a normal range now due to my studies. Please reply or quote this post. is it possible that i can still be an agent? is it contact lenses or eye glass can be the remedies?

  97. Hello!
    I’m interested to become a NBI Agent but I have astigmatism(farsightedness).
    Can I still have a chance?

  99. hi 😀 i am an undergrad. soon to be cpa.well, hopefully next year. i cant see myself working all day on an office full of books and journals… im looking for something na hindi ako mbbore and also exciting work. can you please advise me what preparations should i take while im under the age req? thank you for this blog…

  100. Thanks Fehl.
    My list of pending items are the NBI Clearance, resident certificate and the statement of assets and liability.
    Is resident certificate pertains to brgy. clearance?

    Thanks.

    • Resident Certificate is also known as Cedula. Barangay Clearance is another document. You can get them both from your Barangay Hall / Office of the Barangay Chairman/Captain

  101. Hi Fehl! I’m a new lawyer and I’m considering the NBI as a career option. I have three questions that I would like to ask (please bear with me):

    1. Among the requirements is that you should have no “tattoos”. I have body burns (fraternity-related), does that come under the prohibition?
    2. Another requirement is that you must have good eyesight. I am currently wearing prescription glasses (I’m near-sighted) but I plan on undergoing Lasik corrective surgery next month. How does that affect my application?
    2. How about Senate Bill No. 2970 (NBI Reorganization / Modernization)? Last I heard it was already approved on third reading. What could be its effect on the salaries/benefits? I’m hoping for a salary grade increase for entry level agents.

    Thank you very much!

    • Hi there Ping 🙂 Let me say, congratulations! The Bar Exam is one of the most difficult…

      I can only share opinion here. The no-tattoo requirement seems mandatory when applying to a job here in the Philippines. I think it is tied with being decent and looking decent and neat however I think it’s not really a strict policy especially if the tattoo is just little or it’s underneath our clothes or not really exposed. If they asked you if you have a tattoo, of course we must always be honest. Honesty always excels. As to the eyesight, I think if you passed their exam, you’ll be fine. LASIK treatment is a good thing as it brings back a 20/20 vision or almost 🙂 I’ve never heard of that SB yet, thanks for mentioning that here. It sounds amazing. I love watching CSI Miami. I wish NBI here will be as modern as that.

  103. So, there’s a great possibility that I may not be considered because of my height? Well, that’s the only requirement that will ruin my dream.

  105. good day sir/madam,

    May i apply for special investigator? I am a graduate of BS-Forestry and Bachelor of Laws at Mindanao State University,also a criminology board passer..at the same time a police officer II for the position of Municipal Police Station Investigator from Lanao de Sur, PRO-ARMM. i will be 35 this coming September and i have my poor vision due to my day and night daily reading in studying of LAW. I’m almost nine (9) years in the PNP service.. Request further Acknowledgement.

  107. gud day.im a seaman and a board passer on my course,can i also be qualified as special investigator?eventhough my work is no related at all.pls give some advice…tnx……….chris

  110. Hi,

    I have a bachelor degree with honours in Psychology with Criminology and currently undertaking my Master degree in Psychology. One of the requirement is must be a Pilipino citizen which im not as i am British citizen but i was born originally in the philippines. I have a small tattoo in the back of my hand, will i still be eligible to apply?

    If i was to be accepted, does the company have a fix contract in terms of how long i have to work for the company until i can announce to resign.
    Or does the NBI allow a work experience for at least 2 years as part of my practice study?

    Overall of the requirement list above, if i had a reference or recommendation from an NBI Agent, can that be use as support of my application in terms of being able to partake the physical, psychological test?

    I hope you can answer my questions

    Thanks

    • Good afternoon. 🙂 I’m not affiliated and connected with the NBI so I can only share my opinion here. If you are a British citizen, you can still apply although priorities are for Filipinos. Who knows they need British staff for a special assignment. We never know 🙂 So apply 🙂 If you wanna be part of the NBI for work experience or study, just get in touch directly to the director and ask about any available position for you. Your credentials are impressive by the way. Best of luck 🙂

  112. Hello,

    I really want to work a NBI since I passed the CPA board exam last October2012, but I’m in doubt to apply for I was not fit to the age requirement of 25-35 years old.Can I still apply? Nagbabakasakali po. I really want talaga to work at NBI.

  113. Nice INFO.. i’m interested to be an NBI agent. I”m college graduate w/ s degree of BS Commerce. and a Napolcom passer. Am i qualified for that position or even other position in NBI?

  114. Good afternoon, Sir/Mam, i am fresh graduate, and taked course of, office management technology, can i work in nbi office as clerk, or staff?

  115. Just asking how does the “Age Waiver” works in order to apply as NBI Agent even if I am below 25 years old. I am a CPA but sitting around tables and everything everyday makes me sick.

  117. Good day! I am a former seminarian. I finished Ab Classical Major in Philosophy. I recently took masters in theology yet not done for I decided not to continue priesthood. I am planning to apply for any positions available here in NBI. Could it be possible that I will be taking chances at NBI while presently taking up Law?

  124. Thanks for the heads up. I have updated the salary range in the article and mentioned your name as appreciation. 🙂 God bless you!

  125. for the information of everybody: the starting salary IS NO LONGER 18,000…..BUT 32,000 PLUS FOR THE SPECIAL INVESTIGATORS AND 37 THOUSAND PLUS FOR THE AGENTS. THATS THE BASIC SALARY ONLY…

  126. Hello there 🙂 the 18K is just the range, it may increase anytime if there is a new EO. Of course your salary will increase as you reach a higher salary grade. In the government, usual positions require full time commitment. If you want to do sidelines, ask your director about it. You are required to fulfill your duties sworn. Having works outside the agency will only cause conflicts and you must specifically ask your boss’s permission before that…If you wanna be working in the NBI, you must remember their motto in your heart, Nobility, Bravery and Integrity and practice that in your career and duties.

    Working in the government is always a public service. If you want higher and grand compensation, choose a private entity though your contract will not be as solid as working in the government. A private entity is likely to go bankrupt while the government will forever have budget no matter what. Just saying 🙂

  127. hi.. thanks for all the info… nice one.
    I just have some questions. I hope you would mind in helping me.
    Is the Php.18,000.00 basic salary fixed for the entry level irrespective of the work experiences you have?
    Are you not allowed to demand higher compensation?
    Is it possible to become an NBI agent at the same time working in other company?:)
    How long does it take to be trained as an agent?

    hehe… sorry if I have a lot of questions.
    I’m just so interested in joining NBI.
    But of course I am also considering the compensation I would receive. A compensation that is at least the same if not higher than the compensation I am currently receiving.
    thanks a lot… GOD BLESS…;)

  130. Hi, I’m a CPA and interested to be an NBI Agent but recently I gave birth via c-section, can I still be accepted to apply as NBI Agent despite I’m operated? I’m just 24 though, still have 1year since age requirement is 25 to 35. I hope you’ll answer my question. By the way very informative blog, keep it up. Thank You!

    • Hello 🙂 Yes you are very much qualified because you are a CPA. Giving birth is all part of being a working woman. Any company understand that besides they also offer special maternity benefits for women. As long as you meet the NBI requirements and training, you have a chance. Just think that you are a CPA and use that edge to pursue your dreams 🙂 Good luck! God bless. Send my hugs to your new baby 🙂

          • hello mam can i ask if ever I was accepted to become a NBI agent because I was able to pass CPA board exam. Can i study in alaw school while having employed as an NBI agent. is there a conflict regarding these situation?

        • Majority of companies here are particular with tattoos and body piercing. They always prefer neat candidates although you can still try to apply. If they liked you, you have to comply with their requirements about your pierced ear
