omg oops....i didnt know i was replying to multiple posts. lol....so at the courier, how long till yours was ready to be picked up? And does she tell the embassy at the interview or do they ask when its all over?

We got ours in 13 calendar days. But there is some randomness to it. Some get it in 3 days yet some wait three months. The average seems to be 2 weeks so our 13 days put us right about there.

Best bet is to track it on the net. And if you have not already done so, arrange for pickup at 2Go office, the fastest option.

And while you are waiting get the CFO done.

Wait, I thought she needed her visa to do the 2nd part of the CFO

Yes you need the visa in the passport before CFO will put their sticker in the passport.

So can she do the CFO before her interview then go back and get the sticker when the visa arrives? And if so would she need an additional appointment to get the sticker?

Yup, can do the seminar then go back and get the sticker later. Nope, don't need an appointment to get the sticker.

Mine took 6 days to be delivered. I waited for my visa bec I didn't want to go to CFO twice. If you don't mind two trips then go there before the visa is in your hands and then go back for the sticker.

I can't remember but someone mentioned before that you can get the sticker at the airport. Don't know if that's true. Might want to call CFO to clarify.

Should You Choose To Get Your CFO Sticker At NAIA


CFO Phone Number for office at NAIA terminal 1: (+632) 879-5685 or 02-879-5685. Desk is open 5AM to midnight. Need to call 2-3 business days before flight day. CFO counter is between the entrance doors at the front next to the counter for paying the travel tax.

You can get the sticker applied at the airport just before you go through security if you make an appointment a day or two in advance.

So she can do the CFO after the interview while waiting the visa then when done CFO we make appt for sticker? If so who do we make appt for sticker with? CFO office or the airport?

As long as you have sufficient acceptable IDs to meet the CFO requirements WITHOUT the passport (since it will be held at the embassy) I think you should be able to do it that way (give the CFO office a call to verify though). You make the appointment for sticker at the number above in Hank's post.

Please take a moment to relax, breath, and read their responses above. They've already answered this. And all of it is on hank's guide. Anything and everything you could ask should be answered there.

You can get your CFO sticker at any of the three locations; CEBU CFO, Manila CFO or NAIA CFO desk (see instructions below)



You can get your CFO sticker (be sure to bring your certificate with you if you are going to get the sticker at the airport for that matter all locations require your certificate for processing) at Manila NIAI Term 1. NIAI office request that you call ahead 2-3 days to make an appointment. The airport location is open from 5am till 12 midnight - CFO NAIA desk is at terminal 1 (one)... beside TIEZA travel tax desk... between the entrance doors with the x-ray / conveyor machines... CFO NAIA: 632-879-5685 or 02-879-5685 or 632-879-5685

Follow the flashing red arrow, click the link ... then click the CFO tab, that will take you to the CFO information for fiancee/spouse seminar.
