Hello,

 

I hope anyone can help me out.

My best friend son is US citizen born Philippines has Phil Passport with expired US Passport. ( we will renew his US passport soon).
He has never left the country since birth. He recently just obtained his PHIL Passport. He is 17 yrs old and soon to be 18 in Sept 2018.


My questions are:
If he leave the country (Philippines) for the first time as(an adult) 18 years old, is there anything we need to know prior?

Since he is dual, what kind of exit fee will he face?
Since he will be 18 when he travel does he need DSWD travel consent since he will be traveling alone? (although he has one DSWD letter we tried to obtain one when he was 16).

 

Are there any problems leaving the country for the first time? I just want to make sure.
 

Thank you for all your help.

No ECC fee, just travel tax of P1620 being he has a Philippine passport also.

 

If 18 when traveling he is not a minor .. no travel clearance required.
