Hi to all,

I just want to have a qusetion regarding my trip to the philippines. I am holding a two year greencard and have a baby with my us citizen husband. I am going back to the philippines tomorrow with my baby and planning to stay there for 3 months.. My question is;

1. Do i need to pay any fees upon arriving at the philippine airport? how much?

2. Is there any problem with me and my baby staying there for 3 months?

3. Any body here experiencing going home like me for the first time?

4. My passport is still in single name, do i have a problem because my baby's passport is a us passport.

Please I need some advice! My trip will be tomorrow via Delta airlines. Thanks and God bless you all!

You can stay in the Philippines for a year without having to go thru immigration/ extension stay since you are still a Filipino Citizen. Not sure about your baby (how old is he/she?). If you have a passport that still shows your maiden name make sure you bring your marriage cert, also bring an affidavit of consent notarized that you husband aggreed/consented your travel with your baby. Also bring your baby's birth cert., they might ask you to present this info on your way back.

Good luck!

Hi to all,

I just want to have a qusetion regarding my trip to the philippines. I am holding a two year greencard and have a baby with my us citizen husband. I am going back to the philippines tomorrow with my baby and planning to stay there for 3 months.. My question is;

1. Do i need to pay any fees upon arriving at the philippine airport? how much?

No, there should not be any fees paid for you or your baby.

2. Is there any problem with me and my baby staying there for 3 months?

No, there is no problem for you or your baby staying for 3 months. You are a Filipino citizen, who has a green card, and is eligible for Balikbayan privilege. Your baby is an American citizen (possibly Filipino citizen) and is eligible for Balikbayan privilege since s/he is your immediate relative. Balikbayan privilege is extended to the Filipino citizen, as well as his/her spouse and minor children. It is valid for stay in the Philippines up to one year.

What state are you from, btw? Different Philippines consulates have jurisdictions over different states.

3. Any body here experiencing going home like me for the first time?

I'm sure there are many here.

4. My passport is still in single name, do i have a problem because my baby's passport is a us passport.

It should not be a problem having your passport in your maiden name, and having a green card in your married name. Please be sure to bring along a certified copy of your marriage certificate and a copy of your baby's birth certificate. When you will invoke Balikbayan privilege for yourself and your baby at Philippines immigration, you will need both of those documents in addition to your passports.

Please I need some advice! My trip will be tomorrow via Delta airlines. Thanks and God bless you all!

Take care and have a safe trip to the Philippines!
