yes only 500 pesos exit charge...makes sense Keith...she has best of both worlds there
Hi guys.

Now I could be completely talking out of my .... here, and if I am wrong, apologies, but it was my understanding that you had to finish a flight with the same passport you started it with - ie, if you leave the UK with a UK passport, you can only enter the country of destination with the same passport - and same with the way back - if you leave on a philippine passport, (eg, because you stayed longer than 3 weeks there), you have to arrive in britain with it.

This is based on what happened to a friend of mine from Bangladesh a few years ago, who had both a Bangladesh and UK passport but had to decide, before starting her journey, which passport she would be using for the entirety of it (it had to be one or the other) and thus apply for relevant visas accordingly for any stop over points. Needless to say, she used her UK passport, the Bangladeshi one being about as useful for travel as an Argos catalogue (ie, not much different to a philippine passport).

However, I could be very wrong, and if I am, would be grateful for an update.

So, if you can leave the UK with a british passport and enter with a Philippine one, and do the same on the way back, would be very grateful to know - my daughter has both a UK and a philippine passport but we've never had the bottle to try starting with one and finishing with the other - don't want to give Philippine (or UK) immigration any excuse to make life difficult - you know how they love it. If you can do it, let me know - and if it all goes wrong I'll send a box of chocolates to the Philippine Immigration holding cell.
