Hello fellow Vj'ers,

After receiving my visa last October 04,2008 and stayed for 2 1/2 months here,now its time to leave.Me and my 3 years old daughter are leaving tomorrow via Continental Airlines,POE is Guam.It makes me sad bcoz I will miss everything.I never been to other country so I'm sure I will miss my home,my friends,my family.But still happy because finally me,my fiancee and our daughter will be together finally at last with no more long distance.

I don't know what to say anymore...all I do is crying.
To all those people who helped me and my fiancee on our journey...I want to say thank you for all the information,advice,prayers,support you had given us from filling K1,CRBA of my daughter.I also want to thanks visajourney for all the informations,experiences here.This site really helps us a lot.

To those who are starting their journey,having upcoming medical/interview,waiting for visa and etc., Good luck to all of you and will include all of you in my prayers.Have faith and more patience.Trust in the Lord.
This will not be my last post here.I will still check VJ and answer all questions and help as long as I can.


God Bless us all.

Philippinese-ticket (what is needed at airport?)

Hello, I read some older topics on VJ but wanted to check with recent travelers to see if anything had changed (higher tax, fees, etc.).

What docs are needed at the airport for an e-ticket? I purchased the tickets from expedia with credit card so does she need a copy of the card? Does she need to go by the airline, NWA, before the flight?

Also, I've read the travel tax is 1650 php and the airport fee is 750; is this still the same?

Are there porters available to help with bags?

This link has some good info but I'm not sure if it is current.

http://www.philippin...la-airport.html



Hi, there! I will be leaving on Feb5 via Northwest airlines. My fiance bought my -eticket in direct ticketing in Northwest too I was just wondering if my travel tax and other fees are already there. He paid it through master card, Do I still need the copy of her card? and passport for identity ? What fees do I still have to pay?


Hi netscot,No you don't need your fiancee's card copy.My fiancee bought my ticket too direct at Continental Airlines ticketing website and NAIA didn't ask me for his card copy.And nope,travel tax and terminal fee are not included yet in your ticket because your fiancee purchased your ticket online.

When Im at the airport..they just looked at my e-ticket itinerary,passport with visa and cfo stamped and they told me to go to Continental counter and they will ask u there if you are travelling K1 and they will ask your brown envelope (visa packet) they will check it if its open or not.They will tell you there to go to travel tax counter after you check-in your baggages then proceed to Immigration..you can still go out of the airport after you pay travel tax and terminal fee when your plane is not on board yet.That's what I did.


Happy Trip.

Philippinese-ticket (what is needed at airport?)
Hi All,

You will pay travel tax which cost 1,620php only if you purchased the ticket online like cheapoair,orbitz,vayama,airlines website,etc.,But if you purchased the ticket at the travel agency here in the Philippines...travel tax is included when you pay them and all you need to pay is the terminal fee which is cost 750php at the airport.

Philippinese-ticket (what is needed at airport?)
My fiancee bought my ticket.And I just printed out the e-ticket and that's what I showed to NAIA,with my passport and CFO stamped.

Travel tax is 1,620php and terminal fee is 750php.My flight was January 17th.


Happy Trip sayo.

PhilippinesDual citizenship for our baby?
Just go to DFA and get a Philippine passport for your son and he is dual citizen already.

Thats what Bureau of Immigration told me and if you do that..no need to pay for exit permit..just go there show your son's 2 passports..one US passport and one Philippine passport..tell them your son is exiting 2 passports.

PhilippinesHas Anyone Used Honolulu as Your POE??
QUOTE (bluemist @ Feb 11 2009, 07:30 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Honolulu is not my POE.It was in Guam but I had stop-over there in Honolulu when I travelled here and all I can say is that all the people there are sooooo nice and very helpful.
I was with my daughter and we had 2 balikbayan boxes,2 big luggages and 2 hand carry.And they helped all the way to carousel to get our baggages and carried it for me because Honolulu was my Baggages Customs Checking/Clearance.

The custom officer let me unlock my baggage for checking and told me to go to our Gate number and they will be the one to transfer it all the way here in Florida for our final destination.So I didn't have a problem transfering our baggages.We travelled via Continental Airlines.

Also,Guam as my POE.. I didnt have a hard time..all of the staffs and the Immigration Officer were so nice and helpful.Most of the staffs are Filipino.

Happy Trip soon.


Also..when I had stop-over in Honolulu..the officer asked me what's in our baggages because it was really big and heavy.2 of them are full of foods,and some things I need.I told them its just our personal things and they let us go to our boarding gate.

Hello fellow VJ'ers,


Just want to ask if we can do Report of Marriage,Amendment of Passport and Applying for Phil.Passport for our daughter which to make her dual citizen all by mail???

Can we do it all at one time?Or do we need to do Report of Marriage first before we can amend my passport?We are in Tallahassee and the nearest Phil.Consulate is at Ft.Lauderdale,FL which is very far and we don't want to go back and forth.


Any one pls....


Thanks.


Report of marriage,amendment of passport you can do it at the same time by mail. I did it last year.For passport, they require personal appearance for first-time applicants.



Yes..but one of requirements for passport amendment is report of marriage...so how can i amend my passport without the report of marriage if I will do it at the same time by mail?

And how long does the process takes?Im afraid that maybe my passport will get lost if I do it by mail..

Will be a challenge to keep our kids pre-occupied and not be restless, eh?

our flight will be at 10 pm PAL MNL-SFO, hopefully Jaden will be sleeping the whole flight, he's super malikot pa naman..

Hi there!Congratulations soon you'll be here in the US!Did you guys went to PTA (Philippine tourism authority) and asked for travel tax discounts for your child travelling with you?for kids 2 years and below they are free of travel tax and for 2 years to 12 years old they are entitled for a standard reduced travel tax rate.You need to go the nearest PTA branch in your city on place to avail the travel tax exemption/reduced rate. Bring Child's passport ID pages/Birth certificate
.

our ticket was bought online, so i dont know if the travel tax is included or not.. how much is the travel tax bah?


Hi there Ruby..walang travel tax ang bata..ikaw lng mgbbayad ng travel tax..ang bbyaran mo lng pra sa anak mo is yung terminal fee.Travel tax is 1,620php..terminal fee is 750 each.

Happy trip.
