Emigrating with Infant

[Bob & Joana 2]

Hi, im planning for my wife and daughter to depart Manila to come here soon and trying to figure out the cost of everything. My Wife will be CR-1, my Daughter is USC - under 6 months old at time of departure. They will be traveling Delta Airlines. So far I've factored 400 peso for CFO registration(she already has the counseling done). Anyone who has experience traveling with their USC infant please let me know costs for these things:

ECC for daughter - ????peso

Emmgration fee - 1650(is this included with delta airfare for a 1-way ticket?)

Airport Tax - 550(does the baby also have to pay this if she will be traveling infant-in-arms and does not have her own ticket?)

Airport Tax - 550(for my wife, I know she pays this)

Anything else I am missing please let me know thanks!

ECC for daughter - have you thought of getting your daughter a passport. it should only take ~1 week or so for a rush passport - no need to pay for exit fees and your duaghter has documentation for being dual citizen.

Emmgration fee - 1650(is this included with delta airfare for a 1-way ticket?) - not always. when you purchase the tix did you use their PI website? Check for your receipt it has travel tax that says around $40 or so dollars it will be covered.

Airport Tax - 550(does the baby also have to pay this if she will be traveling infant-in-arms and does not have her own ticket?) The baby will have her own ticket (10% of the adult fare) the baby's boarding pass will be released together with your wife's. I don't remember paying for my son when I traveled last year.

Thanks for suggestion to get philippines passport. If time wasnt an issue I would have my wife do that but since the appointment to wait to apply for the passport can sometimes be 1 month wait time its not really viable for us.

Does anyone know what the cost of the ECC is? I could not get a straight answer off the BI website for an exact price. I am thinking I will just send my wife with 3000 pesos and hope that is enough. Our daughter will have been born less than 6 months from departure date so I dont think there will be over-stay fees.
