Philippine Passport

[Mydy 80]

Hi all! I got married here in Guam last year and I have my green card too. My husband and I are planning to visit the Philippines this year but my name in my PH passport is my maiden name. Can I still use it to go back to Manila? Will I encounter any problems coming back here in Guam? My name in my green card is my married name.

 

Thanks in advance!

No, you won't face any problems what so so ever. Just make sure you bring your green card and your marriage license when you go back to the Philippines. Also make sure that your plane ticket matches the name that's on your passport.

No problem using your passport with your maiden name and your green card in your married name..  Carry a copy of your marriage certificate and all should be good.

 

And for sure the airfare must match the name in your passport.

Don't know if this would come in handy for you but in the future it may.

 

Balikbayans – any overseas Filipino returning to the Philippines, including former Filipinos who have acquired foreign citizenship – can stay in the Philippines without a visa for a period of one year. The balikbayan visa-free stay privilege is extended to the balikbayan’s non-Filipino spouse and children, provided they enter the Philippines with the balikbayan.

Former Filipino Balikbayans traveling to the Philippines are advised to bring either their old Philippine passport or copy of Philippine birth certificate as proof of their former Philippine citizenship. Accompanying family members of the balikbayan can bring appropriate supporting documents:

• For the spouse: copy of marriage certificate
• For each child: copy of birth certificate
• For adopted children: copy of adoption papers Philippine Law (R.A. 9174) provides benefits to baikbayans:
• Tax-exempt maximum purchases in the amount of up to US$2,000.00 (US$1,000.00 as arriving Balikbayan and US$1,000.00 as arriving passenger), at Philippine Government–operated duty free shops
• Exemption from Travel Tax, provided that their stay in the Philippines is one year or less. If their stay in the Philippines exceeds one year, Travel tax will apply to them.
