If you purchase it in the Philippines chances are the 1620 P was included. If you purchased it online it may not have been included. Also airport tax of 550 P is due upon leaving.

$1620 is paid at the windowtht is on the right before you go through immigration? And does immigration just want to see the passport with K-1 visa inside? Anything else?

They arent asking for letters or show money like they do when they try to go to other countries? PI immigratipn is so bad on their citizens in my opinion, just don't want any surprises as my fiancee is nervousas hell as it is.

Its pretty straight forward. If the 1620 isn't in the price of the ticket the counter for paying that is just inside the terminal between the entrance doors. After checking your luggage and getting in "one more more line" you will need to pay the airport fee of 550. Then onward to the immigrations officer, there you will need the CFO sticker and visa sticker in your passport. Then to the gate and wait to board.

Thanks Hank, i thought the same. But a girl was talking to my fiancee telling her she needed this and that and I said no she didn't. But just thought I better ask the question. And I wan't sure about the travel tax. Thanks for the info.

If you enter the terminal on the right side, make your way through the crowd there as they are OCW and are going in another door but the crowd blocks the normal entrance into the terminal, and be confusing and you could end up standing in a line you don't need to be in.

Mr. Smiley (AKA “Kennard” it’s so weird to call you something new lol) question for you...do they need a proof that the travel tax included in the ticket. If ever, how do they know if it is included? or to prove it?(usually after you paid it just an e-ticket with the info of your flight) I know kind of Dumbo question. But I’m kind of confused lol

Also, I thought if you purchase it online usually travel tax is included so it's the other way around?

The longer it takes to happen the more you'll appreciate it when it does!

The 1620 is rarely paid on purchase. Just expect to pay it when you get there. All Filipinos traveling (except OFWs) have to pay it when they leave the country. We had to pay it going to Cambodia.

Cost for an American and his Filipina Fiancee to leave the country on an international flight? (even if just for holiday) -

550 PHP x 2 for airport tax

!620 x 1 for the fee the country charges its own citizens to leave.

total: 2770

Make sure you have it on you.

At NAIA - Travel tax of Php 1620 Terminal fee of Php 550

(depending on where the ticket was purchase the travel tax and terminal fee may be in there, have to check through the list of added fees)
