⌛ Asking for Agency

Hi..I am asking if there is an agency her in dumaguete to process the DFA Authenticated for Red Ribbon?

 

AND? the RED RIBBON is ?

Try Maganda travel or Enhance immigration.

 

Red Ribbon authentication is required for immigration to some European countries. Basically, it is an authentication of a birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc. It is not a US immigration requirement.

Larry! never heard of it, are you sure it is for a Europian Country?


Jack P.

 

I'm not sure what all countries require it, Jack, some that I know of are Singapore, UAE, and Norway. Maybe the OP will enlighten us which country is requiring it.

Wow!

Hi Larry, Seems there are Quite a few countries, requiring this Red Ribbon Authentication from A Filipino. It says, anything from NSO, Birth to Marriage Certs, Cenomar, need this. Apparently, The Ribbon is only Available from DFA in Manila at a cost of 300p per item. (Source; Google Questions) Local travel Agents, can forward the documents but it could take 2/3 weeks at best. It seems the going rate per item, from an Agent is 1200/1500p for each Document. WOW! if they need 4/5 we are talking big Peso here. More economical I think, for a round trip to Manila. I could not find a list of countries requiring but certainly UAE, UK (Marriage Purposes Only) Germany and Spain are. According to The Site I visited, Germany is asking for a Full translation into German, From my Experience of Spain, they will also want a full translation.
You know, I do feel for our Friends here, to think we can come on a passport and then extend, One Wonders if the PI Government Actually want them to leave the PI. Do the rest of the World, not realise, these are people too, just like you and me!

These are not Philippine requirements, Jack, they are required by the other countries. The reason they make it so hard on Filipinos is the vast number of Filipinos who have forged documents, lied under oath, and gone TNT once they arrive in any country other than their own. The US has over 300,000 Filipinos who are there illegally, which is why a Filipino getting a tourist visa to the US is now almost impossible unless under special circumstances.

Quack, Quack-Oops!

:o Yes Larry, my Error, I should have added, only One, DFA Office, dealing with this Red Ribbon Thing.:o

Only one office, the main one in Manila, is allowed to issue any documents concerning immigration to most any country. Too many fraudulent docs coming from the provinces caused this to emerge years ago. All original Marriage, birth, CENOMAR, etc. documents coming only from the Manila NSO office on security paper are acceptable to the US Embassy, etc...

These are the requirements of the foreign Embassies, that only one main office can provide these documents. Other Filipinos made this happen by being so proficient at forging documents and fabricating evidence.

Even then, the system breaks down occasionally and the cheaters will slip one through, which will make it harder for those who follow.
