Did you get your CFO stamp in your passport. They won't let you leave unless you've got the CFO stamp.

I'm a bit confused about your husband and son having the balikbayan stamp. They entered the country with you and hold American passports?

Mods if you can move this to the Philippine forum, this is a country specific question.

I think they were asking about the BI exit clearance which needs to be obtained no more than 30 days bfore departure and at least 72 hrs or I have heard 2 weeks. A BB stamp holder as I know does not need an exit clearance after 6 months.

I would be curious to know what the traveler OP had any difficulty leaving, I am in the same situation now

Have to see if they come back and update... many don't.

IIRC, A lawful Balikbayan stamp holder doesn't need exit clearance as long as you leave before your stamp expires. That's one of the privileges of being a BB.

The "after 6 months rule" you are referring too I believe applies to foreigners with tourist visas only. Those people need exit clearances to leave. HTH

Ya it's a sweet deal. My wife after getting her to the states wanted back after 5 months so now I am a BB instead of a tourist.
