TO ENROLL:

  1. Applicants need to access www.skype.com  through their internet browser to get a Skype account under their name.
  2. After having done this, applicants are asked to email the GSIS at pensionglobal@gsis.gov providing the full name and Skype account user name and other required information, so that the GSIS can schedule the video call for the eCard Plus enrollment.
  3. On the scheduled appointment, a GSIS representative will call the applicant through the Skype account, and guide the applicants on the steps for enrolling for the eCard and GWAPS.

Note: The GSIS computerized enrollment kiosk installed by the GSIS at the Philippine Consulate General New York in 2007 was removed by the GSIS in 2008. Pensioners no longer need to come to the Consulate to personally enroll with the GSIS system, as they can do so on their own, through the procedure described above.

For more information, contact the GSIS through pensionglobal@gsis.gov.
