[patrickm1978]

My wife rotsen will departing from Cebu to Manila then on to Amsterdam then getting her flight to Belfast
Apart from the regular terminal fee is there any other fee she will have to pay when departing Manila if so how much

Regular terminal fee, now 550 for international flight, AFAIK

Unless it's included in her ticket....Travel Tax.

Was p1620 for a long time.

You need to look into that for current charge.

Filipinos pay it at a special desk before check-in.

Basically she needs to be carrying about p3000 in cash to also allow for the odd snack etc.

Yep, they certainly know how to screw their own. Charge you for leaving your own country.

[grahamw48]

Yes....every blinkin opportunity they get, to help fill the coffers of the rich folk in Forbes Park etc.

That's about right

I've just come from NAIA

Travel Tax was P1620 (Filipino or foreigner staying more than a year?)
Terminal Fee was P550, although rumoured maybe going back to P750 soon
ACR-I holder P2880

You can pay the Terminal fee in $ or P, but not the ACR has to be P
Travel tax was automatically on my Cathay Pacific ticket, not sure how they worked out I needed it as I was not ask for Immigration status when booking.

Its more funds in the Philippines

.....Its more funds in the Philippines.....

Very good

[tanga]

Its more funds in Philippines
The ACR fee is ECC Fee P700
Head Tax P250
RP/SRC fee P1400
Legal research Fee P30
Express Lane Fee P500
total P2880
Then the Philippine Travel tax of P1620 is added then P550 (or P750)
So as a foreign resident the cost of leaving is P4050 or P4250.
I will prepare P4250 to cover the immigration fees next week for a P2046 peso flight to Cambodia
Its this Express fee that gets up the nose of the expats
There's no choice. It would be easier to swallow if they called it Foreigner Rip-Off fee or just added the cost onto the ACR fee
