How does your child leave the PH with 2 passports?

[alesypalsy]

Well this one has me wondering as in the future we shall be applying for my wifes spouse visa, My 6 month old son has a UK passport and a filipino, How would this work when leaving the country,

I was guessing you check out on the filipino one and arrive on the UK one but as the filipino one has no visa how would it work? Would we just have to show his UK one? But it has no entry into the PH so I am a little confused?

Last thing we would want is wife visa is ok and then there is a problem at the airport leaving due to this.

Has anyone any ideas
Thanks

Base on our experience, my baby also have 2 passport, uk ang Phil passport. At first i just show to the airport in Cebu her british passport,and since she was born in Pinas and we stay there until she's 1yr old, they're asking me to pay tax which is 2k plus. then I ask why will she need to pay tax when she's was born in Pinas? so they ask me if she have philippine passport.so I gave it to them.they said, nxt time,show the 2 passport to avoid tax...
Hope that helps!

Hi,

I left the Philippines in June with my Fil wife and our daughter who also has a Brit and a Phil passport. The correct thing to do is to show BOTH of your childs passports every single time you are facing any immigration officer no matter where you are. And they will then do what is required. There will be Fil travel tax and terminal fee to be paid at Manila airport before they can fly to join you. But its just a matter of going to the desk and paying the pesos.

I know this threads is over a month ago, but just want to clarfiy things, Did the Phil Immigration ask any clearance for the child's passports since she/he is a holder of two passports? Someone have told me that I still need to obtain clearance certificate from immigration.My hubby and I are worried, we don't want any problems on the day of our departure. Hope someone can give advice...

DEPARTURE

Filipinos with dual or multiple citizenship, who presented a foreign passport at the time of their admission into the Philippines may be cleared for departure without need of surrendering a certificate, permit or proof of payment of imposable immigration fees, provided, he/she also shows a genuine and valid passport and/or Identification Certificate. However, if the Filipino does not have a Philippine passport, an Emigration Clearance Certificate (ECC) fee of P710.00 shall be charged for using a foreign passport upon departure.

In the arrival, stay and departure of Filipinos with dual or multiple citizenship, where the Filipino presents a Philippine passport and a foreign passport, the arrival or departure stamp shall be stamped on both passports. In the foreign passport, the immigration officer shall put either of the following notations on the provision for the authorized stay in the arrival or departure stamp:

“PP”- if a Philippine passport is also presented, or
“IC” – if an Identification Certificate is presented.

(MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. AFFJr. – 04 – 025 dated 14 December 2004).


When we left with our son, he only had UK passport, therefore we had to pay the fee.
