I have posted a topic about this before but haven't yielded the results I was hoping for.

I purchased a one-way ticket for my filipina fiance from Vayama.com. It says all taxes are included in the ticket price.

However, there are several posters who keep mentioning that filipinos leaving the country must pay P1620 at the airport or a ticket agent...

My question is--does this apply to MY situation when I was the one who purchased her one-way ticket from Vayama?

If anyone has had a similar experience to this and can answer my question, I would appreciate it. Money IS a critical factor right now in my situation and I can't find any answers about this anywhere.

Thank you.

December 5, 2005: We met online and our lives changed--instant connection, became best friends

May 15, 2006: She is put on temporary hold from her job and asks me if I could hold on for her in the event she didn't get the job back. I said "yes, of course" and she finally proclaimed her love to me and admitted she'd loved me since February.

September 25, 2006: I land in Manila airport and rush into my baby's arms for the first time. We were both surprised to realise we were NOT nervous.

September 25, 2006: Our first kiss :P

September 27, 2006: I proposed to her in person and she accepted! :)

December 20, 2006: Mailed I-129 K1 petition to Texas service Center

January 15, 2007: Petition returned to me rejected :/ (placed wrong amount on check--duh!)

Febrary 10, 2007: Resubmitted the petition adding updated info pages and a CORRECT check

February 26, 2007: NOA1

May 28, 2007: I land in Manila on our anniversary and we feel whole and complete yet again :)

June 20, 2007: NOA2 which said it would take six months for an interview (Dunno why it said that)

August 4, 2007: My baby receives Packet 4 unexpectedly out of nowhere--the frantic cramming begins

August 23, 2007: Frantically prepared documents FedExed

August 30, 2007: My baby has a long two days at St. Lukes but checks out fine! :)

September 6, 2007: Interview date: after 8 agonising hours--APPROVED!!! :D

September 6, 2007: Plans for her arrival in January 2008 for our wedding are established! :)

January 28, 2008: Marriage

Some countries require that certain taxes to be paid at the airport and are never included in the ticket. So its possible that it may apply to you.

Hello Vann

Yeah she needs to pay the P1620 it is not included on the ticket. That is the travel tax, i experienced that before my fiance husband now purchased me a ticket through vayama.com also, i asked him if i do need to pay the P1620 for the travel tax he said that i dont need to pay coz its already included it on the ticket, but when i am in the airport checking in the lady told me to pay the travel tax because it is not included on the e-ticket. So i payed P1620 plus 750 terminal fee. Just give her extra money just in case. I flew through NWA last sept 2007.

Goodluck

Claire

Yeah, if there's one thing I've learned from this entire fiance visa process it's that there is NO room for taking gambles with money.

I can't believe it's finally over! Whew! She's coming on the 18th and I'm ecstatic! :)
