    Congratulations - you're on your way!!!!

    I haven't got that far yet, but I don't believe there is anything other than CFO registration and sticker - although the tax for a filippino to depart the airport is higher than for foreigners so make sure she has enough money to get through the airport!

    happy planning

    Thank you for that. Good luck with your visa. You are in the right place for advice and words of wisdom and comfort.

    ... cautiously saying "Nope, I don't think so" ... based on what I recall from memory of OUR own [my wife's and mine] experience, 11 months ago.

    And Renah being in Cebu, it'll be so much easier for her to book-in for the CFO counselling & sticker than it was for the likes of Myrna ... who'd to catch a very early flight from Mindanao!

    Congratulations!!! All she has to do now is attend the CFO and get the sticker in her passport. I should use the search function on here and read up on the CFO thingy, because they seem to make it up as they go along with regard to which documents/photos she must bring with her to the seminar and they also ask a lot of damn stupid questions like what is your mother's maiden name, middle name, where do you work etc, etc.

    Some girls have been told to go home and come back the next if they don't have the documents they want or can't answer the questions they ask correctly, it's as if the women there at the CFO are jealous and will try to catch them out and obstruct them in any way they can.

    There is an additional tax at the airport for Filipinos called the Philippines Travel Tax, this is about P1600 and is separate from the normal departure tax, which I think is P750, which everyone pays.
