CFO Certificate and Stamp / Young Children

[Sahs 10]

Good day to all you USEM VJ Members,

My question has to do with the requirement in the Philippines to attend the CFO Seminar to obtain the CFO Certificate and ultimately to have a CFO Stamp in the passport of anyone traveling abroad; prior to departure...

1) How does it relate to young children, do they required the certificate?

2) Will they have to physically attend the Seminar?

3) What is the right method to insure a young child get the Cert & Stamp in their passport?

Thanking anyone who can advise us on this matter.

Very best,

Sahs

General Steps are: Attend Seminar, Get Certificate, Get Sticker.

All the required information for registration (for the Sticker) is on the CFO Website. In a nutshell, children under 12 do not have to attend the seminar (get the certificate). However, they will need the CFO Sticker in their passport. If the child is under 12, have your Fiancee bring the child's passport and docs to the seminar if she doesn't physically bring the child. When she's done with her seminar she'll get her certificate. She can then get the stamp in her passport as well as the child's. This is assuming they both have their US Visas in their passports.

Don't forget to pay the Immigrant Departure fee at the airport when they leave the country. Good luck.

Thank you so very much! Can I trouble you with asking more details about the Immigrant Departure Fee at the airport?

Its Travel Tax: 1,650 pesos/pax and Terminal Fee: 550 pesos/pax.

Some airlines include the travel tax on their air fares so check that too so won't have to pay twice.
