Hi. Thanks for all this good information. As I am married to a Filipina. Is it best to petition for a permanent residency as a spouse before or after arriving to the Phil? Also. As a spouse, we will be moving there for good early next year. Do I need a return ticket to show immigration in the airport when we arrive?

The only time they ask for Etravel was when I boarded in LAX. They still have the paper declaration, but didn’t need it because I filled it out onl8ne and they didn’t even ask for it when I got to the Philippines May 11th.

That's because your eTravel registration is automatically linked to your passport. So when the immigration officer scans your passport upon arrival in the Philippines, they will see if you've registered to eTravel or not.

Hello Mam Jocelyn. My sister (a former filipino) along with her american husband and son will be traveling to the Phils. probably on Aug 31- Sept 14, 2024. Will they be required to accomplish the eTravel registration individually ?

Question, My wife and I are both US citizens, but she is a former Filipino citizen. We plan on moving there in November and aren’t sure about the ticket purchase. When we go to fill out the etravel form, is it allowed to just buy a one way ticket since we will both get the 1 year balikbayan stamp when we arrive or are we required to purchase a round trip ticket? I would hate to spend the extra money since we plan on staying in the Philippines. Thanks

Still lots of confusion.. Do Fournier. .have to get this ...E travel on departure. One site ..yes next government sit. No

I am a Balikbayan and I am travelling with a friend. It's her firs time to go to the Philippines. She wants to stay 8 weeks. As I understand, she won't be allowed because her return ticket is beyond 30 days. How do you go around it? We are both seniors. Thank you for your advise!

You should mention asean is part of 408.

Been using Balikbayan for many many years, never been asked for marriage license

Af ter my 30 days was up I went to extend it cost five thousand five hundred peso for extra month. I then extended another month and that was another five thousand five hundred. Total 3 maths. So for the extra 2 maths was eleven thousand. Be aware you can only extend for one month. Then you have to go back to extend another month if you want to stay three months.

I am planning to take a three months trip to the following countries: Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. I am planning to stay less than 30 days in each country. I currently live in USA. What is the best way to buy airlines tickets? Am I able to make Philippines as my two way ticket destination and make a 3 months reservation and buy other one way ticket from Philippines to other countries and leave Philippines within the first 30 days but come back to fly back to USA? Hope my question makes sense. USA to Philippines (two way ticket) September 1 - December 1 but leave Philippines on September 21... Philippines to Thailand (one way ticket) September 21-October 15 Thailand to Vietnam (one way ticket) October 15- November 2 Vietnam to Indonesia (one way ticket) November 2- November 24 Indonesia to Philippines (one way ticket) November 24 Leave Philippines to USA on December 1 (back using the original 2 way ticket) AM I able to do that using the 30 day Visa?

I still don't understand something, if I have a personal phone worth more than 200usd do I have to pay for that?and also if I'm bringing one peace of jewelry worth more than 50 thousand Philippine pesos do I also have to declare and pay for it?

I just registered for e-travel but I still have 2 weeks left before leaving to the PH. After I registered it told me that its in review and it will verify my account within 7 business days. What do i do once everything is verified?

I think balikbayan (not dual) can stay 1 year, not just 30 days

Why doesn’t the Philippines just do away with the eCard nonsense? It’s unnecessary. As an American I come over with my passport and I get my 30 day visa. That’s all that is needed, there is no need for all these extras which do nothing but just caused more aggravation For everyone, including immigration.

Hello. The way I was told to do it, I go through TMobile, as no other U.S. cell phone really works in PH, and went to TMobile and bought a $150 (+$30 activation fee) cell phone and had them clone it to my main phone. Then they take the block off to free up your spare phone, then hand it over in PH to get your PH SIM card with your PH phone number with all your information from your main cell phone that was cloned to it. Can still use data (no calls) with your Tmobile for codes and social media etc.., no calls or it's $$$$$$. And then use your PH phone while there also. I run Express VPN, so with your U.S. cell phone, you can just VPN your usual U.S. location. All this technology (not a fan) seems to have made life more difficult rather than make life easier. 👍

No need, because you're still a Filipino citizen. You still have the right to remain in the Philippines indefinitely. 😊

No need for extension because you are a Filipino.

My son is flying here from America June 22...does he need a swab test?

No need, becayse the covid testing and vaccine requirement has been lifted since July 2023.

So redundant!

im going to philippines in September, i'll be landing in manila at 6pm on monday, is it going to be a long line to get through to get my passport stamped?

It should be easier during that time.

Long lines at Philippine airports are only expected during peak seasons. Such as Christmas seasons, lenten seasons and last week of October. 😊

@@josepharanzanso3325 i appreciate that, i was mostly nervous on making it through and getting from terminal 1 to terminal 2 with my 4 hour layover.

I am a US citizen and I want to stay in the Philippines for 73 days , do I need to get a visa here in the US or just apply the extension when I arrived in Manila.

​@@user-nu7tr3dg8sYes you can stay as long as you want since you are dual citizen. Just show your 3 document papers of your Reacquisition of Philippine citizenship at immigration.

I do not understand why you said balikbayan is only entitled to stay in the Philippines for 30 days but the consul office said one year without a visa.

Balikbayan can stay for a minimum of 30 days and maximum stay of one year as long as the immigration requirements for entry are complied with.

I am a Balikbayan holder of Foreign passport and been visiting Philippines every year without any problem. Now the new rule is we have to show a proof that we are Filipinos...what can be shown in the immigration if i dont have my old Phil.passport & birth certificate?

I am former Filipino Citizen, and already Naturalized in USA (US Citizen already). I’m going Phils for 6weeks(June 26- August 05, 2024) do I need to apply visa after you said 30 days? Am I eligible for the balikbayan visa?

@josepharanzanso3325

Ай бұрын

Yes po, eligible po kayo for 1 year balikbayan visa. Pakita nyo lang po ang old Philippine passport nyo on arrival. 😊

This is inaccurate. Former Filipino citizens can stay in the Philippines for 1 year. Not 30 days. I know cuz my sister went to the Philippines twice in the past year. Her US passport stamps says she has a 1 year stay as a former citizen. It also says online.

Hello! My mother was born in the Philippines to a US citizen father and a Filipina mother, she has been staying in the Philippines all her life since she was born 50+ years ago. Then last year lang po namin nalaman that my mother is a US citizen, meron siyang consular birth certificate and a US passport. Along with that we just found out that she's been staying in the Philippines illegally kasi wala siyang valid PH visa to stay in the Philippines, yung overstay niya po ay lagpas 100k PHP na. Question po, paano kaya mare-resolve ang case niya? Pwede ba itong ma-resolve kung i-claim niya ang dual citizenship niya by operation of law? Eligible po ba siya for that? Sana po mapansin niyo ang comment ko. Thanks!

Hello. She is a dual citizen by operation of law. Does she have a Ph birth certificate and Philippine passport? She doesn’t need to apply for dual citizenship because she is a dual citizen at birth. It’s good that she has a US consular report of birth.

@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Hello, thanks for the reply. However, her PSA birth certificate mentions a different last name compared to her US passport and consular birth abroad. Paano po kaya yun?

I do not go to the Philippines other than to do a visa run, because their visa is not very friendly to Americans. 30 days is nothing. I get 90 VPA in Korea, Japan, Malaysia. The Philies need to step it up. all the American money is going to more friendly countries.

Good evening,my husband is visiting Philippines,it is his first time to travel Philippines.we are married.59days po ang allowed stay niya sa pinas however mag stay po siya ng 65 days sa Pinas may return ticket na din po siya,magka problema po kaya sa pag fill up niya ng e travel?or sa immigration officer?
