[actob99 156]

so after the security check, and check in, and boarding pass, i have to seek out immigration? If so, do i go show them my papers?

There is only one way to go after your boarding pass. Follow the others or ask if your totally lost in the moment... You show immigration your boarding passes, departure card( will get this at check-in) and your passports with U. S Visa's inside.. That's it.. If they ask for something else, show them... What is "ALL OF THIS PAPERWORK" that you are refering to??

I know Hank had mentioned about this earlier but make sure you've got enough Pesos to pay for the terminal fee and other fees for your wife ( since she is a Filipino).. .It's a lot easier and faster to pay in cash..550 Pesos ( Terminal/Airport fee) x 3 = 1650 pesos + other fees..I know there are some money exchanger inside the airport but it would be better to be ready all the time...and not going anywhere looking for something! That way, it'll be " Hassle-Free."

Have a safe flight!

Ok so there's a 550 fee, is that for all three of us? Last time i was in the Philippines i didn't have to pay that 1650 fee, do i have to pay it. And my daughter already has her Consular report of birth abroad and her US passport so shes a US citizen, does she have to pay it. My wife is a Filipino with a CR1 visa so i understand she will have to pay it. But what are these other fees you are talking about. How much money should i bring to be safe?

Everyone pays the terminal fee.. It is 550 peso's.. My wife( with a filipina passport) and I both paid the same.. You have to walk through it on the way to immigration so can't get lost..

On that subject, my wife was a little pissed at the condition of the airport,

and not enough seats to sit. While taking all of the terminal fee's which are suppose to be used on

the airport and not doing jack with them.. It was interesting to see her reaction to it and me not saying anything.. Then when she finished I told her about the nice Terminal 3 that was built for International use and only Cebu Pacific uses that.. All because the Filipino government didn't want to pay the foreign companies who built it for them. Coruptness and Filipino pride.....

I forgot to add that some pay a higher terminal fee, forget who has too. I believe overseas workers do and I know my american buddy with a perm resident card has to. I was hoping my wife didn't have to and she didn't, only 550 pesos.

Ok, just to make it clear, a terminal fee is P 550.00/ person..So since there are 3 of you ( you, your wife and daughter) then it will be P 1650.00 pesos..And thats for the terminal fee alone...The other fee you have to pay is for your wife's travel tax ( if its not included in the ticket and that being a Filipino citizen and leaving the country) which is P 1620.00 pesos.. SO, I think all in all, you have to pay P 3270.00 pesos, but make sure to have extra pesos just in case . I'd suggest, maybe P 5,000 pesos would be OK!

ok awesome, are you sure there is no other fees? Does our baby have to pay that travel tax?

No, but the baby might have to pay for overstaying his/her visa. How long has it been since the baby was issued his/her US Passport?

Do you have either an exit clearance for the baby, or does the baby also have a Filipino passport?

No. The only thing needed is the exit fee of 1620 PHP per person (Filipinos only), if its no included with the airfare purchase you need to get that handled. The counter is at the front of the terminal between the two entrance doors. After that its like transversing any airport - go to the ticket counter, check your bags, get your tickets, then proceed to the booth were they will extract another 550 PHP per person... all of you (ok this part is different than most airports). Then one last check through customs and you are done and head to the proper gate to board.

Our baby has her Emigration Clearance Certificate already

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Our baby has her Emigration Clearance Certificate already

Coolness. That will save some hassle.

BTW: How much did that cost you, for future reference?
