Flying out of Manila on Friday 29th

[RO_AH 1,656]

It will be my wife,, 2 children and I. I think we will be all set. We will get PCR tests in Manila on Wednesday. I chose that route because by using a State of Hawaii approved testing facility I will avoid a 10 day quarantine when we get to Hawaii. I will be bringing the following in my carry on backpack:

US passports for me and my sons.

PH passports or my wife and 2 sons. Wife's has visa inside.

Both sons CRBA and BC

Wedding Certificate.

CFO certificate.

 

I believe before they used to charge some sort of exit fee when leaving , but I think I remember that being included in your tickets now.

 

Anything else?

The ECC fee would be if YOU stayed over 6 mos and were not using the BB stamp in your passport.   With the BB stamp you can stay up to a year (one day short of) without fees or any issues.   Your wife and sons are citizens so no ECC would ever be charged to them ... they could be charged a travel tax, but not for short visits.

CFO certificate is required for my wife to exit as an immigrant.

Was that the CFO we had to get during k1 process? So my wife (filipino citizen) will need to bring cfo in order to go back to US? 

Thank you

It is only needed on her initial immigration exit.

Congratulations!!  we are hoping to be 3 days ahead of you.  My wife and stepdaughter are leaving tomorrow if all goes well.  They passed their rona tests, CFO and everything is packed. We'll see if our luck holds out tomorrow.  Departing from Clark this time instead of NAIA.

The terminal fee has been included in tickets at NAIA for some time now.  Your wife 'might' need to pay the P1620 travel tax.  It depends on the airline if it is included in the ticket or not.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't  Look at your ticket's tax itemization and see if that $32ish P1620 tax is included or just be ready if the check-in agent says you have to go to the travel tax counter and pay up.

Thanks! I will check it out. That's the one I was thinking about.

 

Congrats to you as well. I can't wait to get out of here.I just hope I don't test positive, I have been coming down with flu like symptoms since last night. My second day at my wife's, my 2 year old had a very bad motor scooter accident and we were stuck in the hospital for 3 days. It was worse than quarantine. The hospital had the most ridiculous rules too, I will probably elaborate on another post once I get home. They took x-rays of his chest, then when they came to the room they said that the x-rays showed he had Pneumonia . Mind you he had not coughed once since I arrived in PH. Memories of SLEC flashed in my mind. I looked at the doctor and said he does not have Pneumonia. He said that is what the x-rays show. I said ok put a stethoscope to his chest. He said the Pedia will take a look and decide. She came in and said same thing. I told her no way. In the end they wanted to keep us one more day. I said no. So they made us sign a waiver. As it was the bill was 88k that I had not planned on and that was  after Pjil Health paid about 5k. I am sure that if we stayed another day it would have been over 100k.

Thats insane.  Obviously I dont know everything they did, but what hospital was that at?  93K is ridiculous.  I only paid 65K for the birth of my son but I never showed my face during that whole period as I knew the prices would rise.  We did get the whole cesarean speech but pushed back hard on that. Im sure there were a bunch of "Covid" supply charges thrown in there.
