Getting GCP Stamp at Manila Airport

[Moofy 1]

My fiancee was approved/issued and should have her Visa any day. She had to take the CFO/GCP class while the embassy had her visa so she has the paper needed to get the stamp.

So the question is this: what are the operation hours/days of the "stamper" at the Manila airport and is it reasonable to count on the stamper at the airport being available prior to departure of her flight, or is it better for her to go to the CFO office in Manila?

Is the stamper available 7 days a week? What are the hours? Are there times the stamper isn't at the airport? Any details would be greatly appreciated as she may be flying here as soon as Thursday/Friday.

Thanks!

To my knowledge she should just return to CFO office during normal weekday business hours and present her passport and the paper showing she completed the course.

I don't know how long it would take them to complete the stamp/sticker for her passport; but my partner completed the course and received passport with stamp/sticker afterwards within an hour about.

It does not take them too long.

Understood that is an option, but I want to learn all the facts I can about the stamper at the airport, which is a LOT easier for somebody flying into Manila from one of the other islands and hauling a bunch of luggage around.

You can get your CFO sticker (you must still take the seminar either at the Cebu or Manila locations) at Manila NIAI Term 1. The request that you call ahead 2-3 days to schedule and appointment to meet and receive the CFO completion stcker,

CFO NAIA: 632-879-5685 or 02-879-5685

They are open from 5am till 12 midnight

CFO NAIA desk is at terminal one.. beside TIEZA travel tax desk.. between the entrance doors with the x-ray / conveyor machines..

CFO counter is next to the travel tax counter in terminal 2, up front of the departure area

CFO sticker at Terminal 3 on the 3rd Floor at the CFO office.

We didn't call ahead, We were traveling between cities and had was at NAIA airport, we found the CFO counter and asked the guy for the sticker, He wanted to know when she was scheduled to leave for USA which was a still a few days out. We told him we were going to try to catch a earlier flight and might even to stand by. He issued sticker.

Many times the counter is not manned hence the reasoning to call ahead.

@GreenBaum - thank you! We called the number and have everything set up for her to meet them on Friday and fly out!
