Exit Fees and child with CRBA US Citizenship

[TonetSparrow 0]

This has been asked many times with no definitive answer. Has anyone exited the Philippines with their baby having CRBA. My fiancee is getting ready to exit the Philippines with our son and daughter (K1 visa with accompanying children). Our son is 1 year and has CRBA, but no PH passport (only US passport). We are trying to figure out the exit fee and penalty for him living there. The rules are very vague and do not seem to explain this condition very well.

I am hoping someone here in VJ has done this and can explain what we can expect for fees when he exits the country. We were advised to go to the consulate before he exits to pay the tax and fees for his stay. Can anybody tell me how much this might be. I have read it is $300php for each month he was there (10 months as US citizen).

When i got my childs us passport thru crba there was an instruction to secure an exit clearance for the child. I went to the immigration office to secure one but they told me that i dont need one since i have a philippine passport for the child. They told me to present that together with her us passport at the immigration. Better yet contact your immigration office...they have lawyers who will help you.

I was going to give you the link to information but I see a notice from a hacker on there - it has been hacked. Sorry

Why not just make it easy on yourself and get him a Philippines passport? Cheap (1200 pesos - roughly $30 - for 7 day processing), quick to get it, and VERY useful down the road. Our son holds both passports. It saves a ton of hassle, in the situation you mention, as well as in many others....
