Exit Clearance Best Posts in Thread: ECC Exit Clearance

From my own experience when I left the country (in Oct. 2013) to Hong Kong together with a Filipina (not my legal wife) she does not need to apply for an ECC, showing certificate of birth and more, that was out of the question except for the departure tax (1620 peso) to be paid.
Just a valid passport. Upon the first time she went out of the country the Immigration officer on duty asked only her a few questions and not even one single question to me. I already passed Immigration and just waiting nearby the place where the interview took place. Since her answers were satisfying, the interview ended in less than a few minutes. Some Filipina's however alone or with company were refused to pass Immigration hence unable to board the flight. Why...........have no idea better ask the Immigration officer.
Upon the 2nd trip abroad (in Nov. 2014) to Singapore, no interview or questions @all for my Filipina by Immigration.
What really matters are the answers given on the questions do meet the details and information IM retrieved from passport, reservation, observation and so on.
But as always anybody else can have a complete different experience and outcome when going abroad accompanied by a Filipina.

 

In about 10 hours I can answer it.

 

Wow, must be nice to take a vacation every month. PAL has a bus to take passengers back and forth between terminal 2 and 3, not too hard to find and no haggling prices because it is free.

 

Exacting thought is you Wont be leaving without one

 

I am generally a better safe than sorry type guy also, however I am not talking about the figurative, pain in the *ss of making the trip to Cebu. I am trying to avoid a much greater level of physical pain I have to deal with every day since spring 1991 that I go to the VA every 6 months to get meds to help control.

Only one person said they asked about getting an ECC at the airport in the 6-12 month window and he got it there. I was resigned to go to Cebu but called the BI at Terminal 3 NAIA direct since they are "the horses mouth" I will deal with. I said I am on a tourist Visa, been here 9 months and know I need an ECC, I found an Operations Order.... Was cut of being told as long as I have a SSRN number I can pay at the airport. I repeated, so I have a tourist Visa and as long as I have the SSRN and under 12 months I can get it there. They repeated 3 times they would issue it there as long as I had a SSRN. (It is the number on the slip of paper they staple in your passport and is also on your ACR card.)

If they don't do it when I get there, well sh*t happens and I will deal with it. To avoid pain I am deciding to believe the BI on the phone at terminal 3 knows what the BI at terminal 3 will do.

 

If you have a 13a visa you can get it at the airport.
