A question for our Filipino members in ClubSNAP (and I know we have plenty)...
My GF is coming to Singapore in Sept to meet my family. It will be her 1st time traveling overseas. I've already got her an invitation letter with all my details... she has a letter of employment from her employer... we have 2 way air ticket from Manila to SG and back... but....
Recently... I heard that ALL 1st time Filipino traveler are required to paid a 6000 peso 'Tax' to travel out of the country... even for only a short holiday. This 6000 peso is not part of the airport tax (550-750 peso) but some form of travel tax. The source for this information is from my Sister, who's company had a Filipino staff from Manila traveling to SG for training... it was the staff 1st time overseas... and had no money to pay the 6000 peso tax and missed the flight....
I've tried looking for answer in goole and even the Phillippines Embassy website... but everything points to Airport Tax and nothing about 1st time traveler tax. Do anyone knows the answer ?? Need to know is this true... as I have to make sure she has enough money on her to get her pass immigration at Manila airport. :sweat:
