Bureau of Immigration Fee for CRBA USC baby

[Bob & Joana 2]

Anyone have the link to the BI's specific site that explains the visa fee one must pay for a USC born in PH to leave? I remember reading about it before but I apparently forgot to bookmark the page. Just trying to find out what they charge(she was born less than 4 months ago and will depart PH before she is 6months old). I know that something has to be paid beyond the departure tax at the airport since she will be leaving on a US passport. Thanks!

Edit: If anyone has experience leaving PH with infant-in-arms, do you pay the departure tax(550peso) per person or per ticket? I know my wife will need to pay 550, but will the baby pay 550, or do they just say since 1 ticket its only 1 tax?

I have tried looking on that site, but it is not made in an organized manner and I could not find the specific page(I know its somewhere on that site I saw a link in another post possibly a month ago). Is it possible you could provide a URL to the specific page that addresses these questions? The link here seems to just direct me to contact information for various personnel at the airport.

The 550 pesos is TERMINAL FEE. It's paid per person.

TRAVEL TAX is 1,650 pesos per person too. Some airlines include the travel tax to their air fares so check with them so you don't have to pay twice.

The 550 terminal tax is per person so it will have to be paid. Your daughter will be here as a tourist and the visa fees will have to be paid. If you leave after she has been here for 6 months or more she will have to pay travel tax, 1620 pesos

If you get your daughter a Filipino passport, you can save paying for the Emigration Clearance Certificate, and a reduced, if any, travel tax for your daughter as well.

If you try leaving with a Philippine passport you will need a visa and a CFO stamp in it

The child would also need a US passport. That eliminates the need for the visa and CFO stamp. The child is a dual-citizen.

This is the correct information. When my Philippines born son came to the U.S. with my wife, he carried both passports and didn't have to get the CFO stamp or, of course, the visa.

People were suggesting that if you use the Philippine passport to leave the country they could get out of paying the travel tax. If you show them both passports you would not need the CFO but you would still pay the travel tax. Filipino's pay the travel tax just like everyone else. The only people that do not pay travel tax are government employee's leaving on official business or people with SRRV visas

My daughter is 2 years old, and if we don't get PI passport, do u think how much can we pay for the exit fees? and pertaining to the exit fees, is that the certificate of clearance?

I would go to the local BI office with enough time to deal with any bureaucratic snafus. All those days from when the child was issued a US Passport until the child leaves the Philippines will be considered as overstaying the visa. I think the clearance and certificate run around 2000PHP, plus any overstay fees. You should save pesos by getting the Filipino passport.
