Leaving NAIA for a Filipina?

[Ano 0]

Would a Filipina or an American Citizen traveling with a Filipina on a K-1 Visa who has recently passed through Ninoy Aquino International Airport please add in the steps that are required when departing from Manila?

1. Drive through the security checkpoint when arriving at airport.

2. Tell driver which airline is you carrier, he drops you off near the correct entrance.

3. Show security your passport and ticket/e-ticket itinerary.

4. Pass through security and luggage X-ray.

5. Check-in at appropriate airline counter.

6. Check luggage and get boarding passes.

7. Queue up again to pay the departure tax (Php 750, was 550?) showing passport and ticket/boarding pass.

8. Go through Security again showing passport and ticket/boarding pass.

9. Find the correct gate then hang out in Sampaguita until near departure time.

10. Go to gate and wait for your passenger class to be called for boarding.

11. Show boarding pass and passport again and board plane.

In addition, was the procedure any different in your connecting flight to POE than for an US Citizen?

What to expect at POE, O’Hare if anyone has entered there?

Thanks in advance.

for a first timer k1 filipina i think what you forgot to mention is for her to present the CFO sticker to some immigration officer on her check-in, so does her visa too... fill up some custom form (both of you) and all of the lists above... if you bought her ticket in phil then no need to pay the tax but just the aiport fee which is P750 have a safe trip

once u gave the passport for checking, the immigration officer already knows that he/she has to check the sticker from CFO / visa. it's a protocol for them(immigration).

I was at the airport in June of 2007. So this will fit between steps 9 and 10, and applies to all international flights. About an hour before the flight they will clear out the waiting area and rope it off. All passengers have to go through security again. Rescan of hand luggage, empty pockets, take off shoes, etc...They have a booth and will re check you passport. Also randomly they will hand check carry on baggage. In total there are 3 security checks.

and in addition to the terminal fee of 750 pesos, your filipina might have to pay the airport ticket tax of 1650 peso, and 200 pesos processing fee. she is only exempt if she is a citizen of another country, which she wouldnt be yet.

also take a pen so you both can file out your declaration paper.

i could be wrong though....

I am sorry; I guess I should have been clearer. I will not be traveling with her; I was just there for the interview.

Where will she pay the Airport ticket tax at, the same counter as the departure tax?

Also, when I was there last I saw some sort of reader that Filipinos were putting their passport under, what is that about? It was next to the line at the Cathay check-in counter.

I have flown China Airlines out of Manila before; do they require anything more of Filipina K1 holders than a US Citizen?

no need for her to pay tax if the ticket is tax inclusive.

If the ticket was purchased in the Philippines, Travel tax (p1620 for economy and p2700 for first calss) is already included there. If ticket was purchased in the US, then she will have to pay for the travel tax. She can pay at the PTA Counter (Philippine Tourism Authority) at the airport.
