ECC requirement for a baby

[offloadedfamily 0]

from another site for baby born in phils to 2 foreign parents. i hope this doesn't apply for filipina mom or i'll be paying ~50k php in overstay fees. or wait 3 months while my wife is stuck alone in america until we get baby a phil passport.

"– Firstly, BI will require you to fill the Alient Registration Program (ARP) form. (get it at the counter near Window 1 – attach one 2×2 photo of baby) then get the Queue number and wait for calling. They will take capture of baby and request for a xerox of your baby’s passport Bio-page, Birth Cert (either from NSO or your Embassy are accepted). A piece of paper with registered number will be issued to you – keep it for ECC application.
– Secondly, go to the Public Assistance near the stair to get Tourist Visa Ext form. After filling, ask them again for the queue number.Submit the form and passport at Window 23-24. Policy of 30 days free stay is not applicable, meaning u need to ext visa from the date of birth. My son is 1.5 month, have to ext 2mths . Total amount need to pay is 7.518php. After done with payment u may to directly to Window 30 to claim Passport with stamp already. For I-Card, be back after 30 mins at the window u submit Visa ext application form.
– Now, it’s ECC’s turn. Go back to the counter u process the ARP to get ECC Application form (There is another form also i do not remember the name, but just need to write down baby’s name in capital and sign your name with remark “by mother” or “by father” below the first place to attach photo (but do not stick any photo here), your name and signature at the second place. Then submit to them with the piece of paper they gave to u before after registering ARP and three 2×2 photos of baby, two 2×2 photos of father/mother who will accompany with baby when travel. One copy of baby’s birth cert and passport bio-page, one copy of mother/father’s passport bio-page. They will attach all the papers with photos and queue number. U go to Window 6 to submit it. Wait for receipt and pay 500php for express lane. A paper with stated claim date will be given to u. Mostly it will be within 3 working days.

I have copy of flight ticket, but they did not request for it, only ask the exact departure date "

"However, if the Filipino does not have a Philippine passport, an Emigration Clearance Certificate (ECC) fee of P710.00 shall be charged for using a foreign passport upon departure."

Hello Everyone! My children just receive their US citizenship and US passport, in the later it says we have to get a ECC before leaving the Philippines. However, the BI is asking too much fees, so they told us to get a philippine passport instead to avoid the ECC. so now we have both philippine passport and US passport. Is this means they can now leave the Philippines to the US with No fees? Do the immigration will hold us up in the airport? Do I still need to pay a fees? what is the next step?

If the children have both the U.S. & Philippine passport there will be no issues at the airport.  And no ECC fee - Philippine passport negates that issue.      

 

You will need to present both passports when exiting the Philippines.  Then when entering the USA only the U.S. passport.

Hank is correct - if the child has both PHL and US passports, no ECC is needed.
