You are not going to complete dual citizenship and get a Philippine passport? This would remove the ECC requirement.

The BI website has no information on the ECC to speak of... (weird) http://www.immigration.gov.ph/faqs/emigration-clearance-certificate-ecc

The ECC is given to departing foreigners to serve as proof that they do not have any derogatory records in the country and no pending obligations with the government. It may be secured at the BI Main Office (Intramuros, Manila) or in select District Offices¹, Satellite Offices², Field Offices³, One-Stop-Shop⁴.

When should I apply for an ECC?

A foreign national may apply for an ECC at least 72 hours prior to his/her departure from the Philippines.

We are not considering applying for dual citizenship because that's another paper to process and i think will cost more than getting the ecc.

Hello. May i know how old is he when he got his Us passport?

[Connie & Mike 0]

He was 4 1/2 y/o, the Administrative fine of 9000 pesos was calculated from his date of birth upto the date we applied for ECC.

[Connie & Mike 0]

I'm sorry I was wrong, he wa 3 1/2 when he got his US Passport and 4 1/2 when we applied for his ECC.

[superwifey0229 1]

Ok coz i rem i was told that the calculation will start upon the issuance of the Us passport.

[Sagot 1,548]

That actually makes sense, as before that moment the child was a Filipino citizen.

When we were in the counter the officer told us the administrative fine was for 4 1/2 years starting from birth. You can go to a near BI office to verify or if you could go to the main branch it will be much better as they also have the forms there for the ECC.

[Connie & Mike 0]

Yes that as it was explained to us, eventhough he was issued his US passport later on when he was 3 1/2 yrs old, he was reconized as a US citizen by birth upon issuance of CRBA.

Ah ... leave it to BI to "make more money" ...

[Connie & Mike 0]

Yeah it is like what you said, if we had more time back then I would certainly apply for Phil passport.
