spouse visa now what?

[IainBusby]

Okay.Finally we have been granted our visa so.......................WHAT NEXT? I know my wife needs to get CFO.Is there anything else that she needs to get to leave Cebu or to gain entry into the uk?

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.

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!

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.
