WHATS THIS THING FOR???

[Regan L 1]

Ok, so my baby received her CRBA and her US passport. With the CRBA there is a reminder page that says she must get a Emigration Clearance Certificate(ECC). My wife in child are in Southern Mindanao and i am waiting to bring them to America, this ECC is the only thing holding me back as my wife just got her her CR1 Visa, but i need to get them both here b4 it expires in a few months.

1. Can someone please tell me what this ECC is?

2. How do i go about getting the EEC?

3. Most Importantly, how long does it take to get this ECC?

4. Does she have to go to manila to get the ECC, or will they mail it to her?

I skimmed over your question and I am about to attach a link in this email! Please look over it, you will have to request an Exit Clearance Certificate for her.

It means if you do not get a Filipino passport for your child, you will have to pay 710 pesos when you depart the Philipines.

well i think i can manage to pay that, but does my baby need a ECC? My wife already has her Cfo stamp which allows her to leave the philippines

The cfo stamp is for her. If you get a Filipino passport for your baby, you have to get one for the baby as well. If you don't, you just pay the fee on the way out. Also, be aware, depending how old the baby is, they may try and charge an overstay charge as well.

Until someone else comes along that has actually done this, if you don't want to get your daughter a Filipino passport, you need to contact the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines. Here is a directory of their various offices. You may be able to take care of everything as you clear customs, or you may have to do this ahead of time.

what im just wondering is that when my wife got our baby's CRBA it came with a paper that said:

After issuance of your first US passport or your child's consular report of birth abroad, and at least 2 weeks before departure from the Philippines, please visit or contact the alien registration division of the philippine bureau of immigration. to obtain an emigration clearance certificate, also known as exit permit. this is a requirement by the Philippine government.

im just wondering will they mail this if can get in contact with them?

since my child was born in the philippines, dosent she have dual citizenship now?

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

She would need a Filipino passport to show her Filipino citizenship. You said she already has a US passport to show her US citizenship.

To leave the Philippines, she needs either a Filipino passport, or the E.C.C. from the Bureau of Immigration.

By the way, are you aware of having to pay a travel tax for your wife to leave the Philippines as well?

Okay let me give u my two cents worth since i been in the same boat 4 yrs .ago. The ECC is an exit clearance for your child to exit the country. If your child does not have a Philippine passport then he needs to have the ECC .

ECC is only for those who holds a foreignt passport. ( When i had CRBA for my son ,although he was born in the Phils. i had to get him an ECC or exit clearance since i did not get him a Phil. Passport. I only got him a US passport.

They will not mail it to u. Your wife have to apply for it and pay for it at the Beaureau of Immigration. It is just an exit permit for ur son who is holding US passport.

I hope this helps.
