    Hi All,

    Hope you are all well, as you may have seen on the other thread we finally got our visa (YAY).

    However my wife asked me a couple of questions as shes a little nervous.

    1. Does she still need to pay travel tax at NAIA when leaving? How much and what method of payment
    2. Does she need to go to anywhere in particular being though she has settlement visa or is it departure as normal.
    3. When she arrives in UK, is there any process or just go to the gate for none UK/EU and show the documentation?

    Thankyou in advance guys :)

    If I remember rightly there is a payment to make in leaving but can’t remember how much. Just go through departures as normal. On arrival here just go to the non Uk/eu gate but it’s worth having your details with her. Ie- your address/ phone number.
    Has she got her CFO sticker? She won’t get out of the phil without it.

    At airport leaving there are 2 taxes to pay
    Approx 1600 pesos airport tax can pay by card and 2nd tax is I think 550 pesos terminal tax this payment is cash
    Make sure she has your mobile number
    If she is delayed at immigration and you become concerned there are free phones in the arrivals hall you can use to call immigration they used to be on the columns opposite wh smiths

    I have edited the figures

    1. Travel tax is payable. I asked on way out of philippines with settlement visas and as did not have BRPs had to pay. 1620 peso flying economy and can definitely do cash and I think card - we normally paid cash as part of using peso before departure. Think you go to checkin, they then send you off to pay and then go back to checkin to get tickets. Can't remember if can pay before going to checkin. Believe the airport tax is now included in ticket price so don't have to pay separately.

    2. From what I could tell is was normal departure through filipino emigration queue.

    3. On arrival if traveling alone then it is non eu queue. Wife and stepchildren were traveling with me so we went through UK queue as a family so option if you are going out to come back with her.

    Very strange........My wife and I have left via Manila and neither of us paid anything at all anywhere. I believe the travel tax is included in the ticket.

    Indeed good news all they have to do now is get rid of the terminal fee!

    I think the terminal tax is the smaller airports like Clark, the link @Macchiato makes good reading.
