If your children have ph passport then you just pay the travel tax which is 810 pesos (my son 3yrs, i think the pay is  less  for those  children below 2yrs old) 

 

Show both ph and us passport at the PH immigration then in us entry just show the us passport. Thats all. 

 

 

 

 

Hello.. Do you know what is the requirements to get philippine passport for them(us passport holder kids)? Did your kids show their us passport?  

Because when u apply for Ph passport there is question on the form asking if you hold foreign passport..

Is there additional requirements for them? 

Thank u

We chose the PH passport route because the ECC is ridiculously expensive. I can only imagine how much they'll charge you for 3 kids. There's really no set amount on how much you'll pay. They have a magic formula they use to compute the fees. 

Hi..thanks for this message.

What are the requirements that you sent when you applied for ph passport of your kids..

I already schedule an appointment to apply for passport.

Do i need to bring their us passport..

On the form there is question if applicant holding foreign passport.. If i say yes ..what additional requirements they ask if the kids are us passport holder already.

 

That's true.. They always dont have exact amount answer at immigration when u ask them about something haha..

I need help or more information about the requirements for my kids to get them Philippine passport.. 

 

Do they ask additional requirements for kids who was born here in Ph but holding US passport already? 

Or it's like a normal process even if you check yes about the part asking if you are holding foreign passport. Because they were born here in PH.. 

Pls someone share their recent experienced about this.. 

Thanks a lot.

At that time, we were still waiting for her US passport so I answered no on that question. I just brought her birth certificate, my passport, marriage certificate and copies of all. I filled out the form there but you can also download it and fill it out before your appointment. Here's the list of requirements from their website:

General Requirements:

• Confirmed appointment (except for 1 year old and below)
• Personal appearance of the minor applicant
• Personal appearance of either parent and valid passport of parents (if minor is a legitimate child)
• Personal appearance of mother and proper ID or valid passport of mother (if minor is an illegitimate child)
• Original Birth Certificate of minor in Security Paper issued by PSA or Certified True Copy of Birth Certificate issued by the Local Civil Registrar and duly authenticated by PSA. Transcribed Birth Certificate from the LCR is required when entries in PSA Birth Certificate are blurred or unreadable. Report of Birth duly authenticated by PSA is required if minor was born abroad.
• Document of identity with photo, if minor is 8-17 years old (for first time and renewal applicant) such as School ID or Form 137 with readable dry seal
       • For minor applicants who never attended school, a Notarized Affidavit of Explanation executed by  either parent (if minor is a legitimate child) / by mother (if minor is an illegitimate child) detailing the reasons why the child is not in school, is required

I wonder if tbey will tell me to get recognition first from immigration because the kids has us passports already.

Interesting.

 

I was wondering why a US citizen would need any document from the Philippine gvt to exit the country.  I guess this stated requirement:

 

Philippine-born foreign nationals who will depart from the Philippines for the first time;

 

is the reason since the foreign national never had an entry visa to match up with the exit?

 

But if the kids exit the country on the Phil visa, wouldn't they then need to pay the exit tax?

 

Just curious.

Any foreigner in the Philippines for 6 months or more is required to get an ECC before exiting the country.  Being the child does not have an entry stamp in the passport, it is treated as if they have been in country over 6 months.  (there exceptions to this requirement for some foreigners;  BB stamp, and SSRVisa)

Being the children already have their U.S. passports they will need to complete the recognition process to get their Philippine passports.

*That is true if the children only have Philippine passports.

Being they hold U.S. passports already, yes Recognition is required FIRST.

Hello everyone.. Thanks for the replies.. 

I just apply for my kids Philippine passports yesterday.. Give the requirements plus kids us passports photocopy.. And no problem at all.. 

Release date after 10 working days.. 

They told me if the kid was born outside the philippines with filipino parent(s)  then the kid needs recognition.. 

But if the kid was born here with filipino parent(s) in Philippines kid will always be a filipino.. 

Problem solved...

Glad all is going well for you.

Yes i sure do know that situation.. The first time we asked someone from dfa they said we need one..  The when we went to  B. immigration they said yes we need recognition.. 

While immigration people should be the one who knows about this matter.. So i searched on their website and see this info then we go ahead and apply for passports.. 

And if they tell me i need recognition at dfa then my plan is to show this info i got from immigration website to inform them who's the one who needs to get recognition ..

But luckily the lady knows about it. And was friendly.. (DFA Pampanga) 

 

Thankful for the result.. Passports will be release march 29

Thank you for the link.

Hi. Your children are dual citizen. You can either pay for ECC or get them a phil. passport. Recognition of phil. citizenship is NOT REQUIRED. I suggest to just get them a phil. passport (faster and cheaper since you have 3 kids, not unless you're willing to pay) when I brought my US daughter (born in US) back in 2011 to Phil. She's holding a US passport only when we moved back here in the states (2016) I only applied for her phil. passport. During our departure we only paid the travel tax P1620 & P810 (for my daughter), her Old and new US passport was asked upon checked in and no issue/s or any interrogation while we pass through the NAIA immigration. 

Now to get your childrens Phil. passport, what you need is their; (we went to DFA Aseana)

*PSA birth cert. (this proves that your children are filipino citizen)

*bring also marriage cert. (if married), I was asked when we applied

*PSA birth cert. (mother)

*2 valid ID (mother). I used my PRC license and Phil. passport

* Valid ID for your children (I brought my daughters school transcript, ID, library card and most recent report card but they only asked for school ID). 

*bring childrens US passport, Yes, I was asked if my daughter have a US passport but they didn't even look at it. 

 

I paid P1200 for rush processing and exactly after 7 days it was ready for PIck-up. 

 

Now your biggest challenge here is to get an earliest DFA appt. since your children are all under 7y/o. I read on their website that minors under 7y/o qualifies for courtesy lane, meaning you can just show up to their office without an appointment but call or go to your nearest DFA office to verify before bringing your 3 babies. 

 

Now that I'm still seeing parents with Dual Citizen child/ren having issues leaving PI. I'll post my experience on here just to help out others. 

 

GOOD LUCK
