4 Tips When Dealing with Philippine Immigration Officers for Your Travel Abroad


We have heard horror stories in the news or rants on Facebook about people being offloaded in a plane or not allowed to travel abroad due to immigration issues. For people, especially first time travelers, this is quite scary. Imagine the anticipation as well as the money spent on airline tickets, hotel reservations and such but just end up being barred to go out of the Philippines? A horror story indeed!

I too had my own fair share of stories in immigration. My first time to travel abroad, I was nearly being offloaded. I had the necessary papers, but the immigration officer felt that I will stay in Singapore to find work since my brother is working there.  But I had cleared them of their doubts after 15 minutes of standing and explaining in their booth. But thank God that the immigration officer had seen my sincerity that I will go back here in the Philippines after 4 days as stated in the immigration slip that I answered.

To avoid being offloaded and experiencing the same issues as I had, here are some of the tips to help you:

Be on Time


 

We all know that we had to check in 4 hours before the flight. So to avoid any rush, be on time to go to the immigration booth. For me, I always make it a point that I go to the immigration booth 3 hours before my flight to avoid rushing. Some people are being offloaded because they don't have enough time to go to the departure area. Most of the times, the immigration has long lines and some immigration officers also spend a long time to check on your documents and ask too many questions. But if you are early, you still have an ample amount of time to stand in line and answer every question the immigration officer throws at you without rushing for time.

Have All Required Documents

There are documents that you need to prepare which the Immigration will surely ask from you such as the following:
  • Valid Passport  – see to it that your passport is more than 6 months from the date of expiry.
  • Visa - if applicable only
  • Round-trip Airline Ticket
  • Hotel voucher or invitation letter from persons whom you will stay with abroad
These are =documents that most immigration officers will ask from you. But still, others require you to give more documents, especially if you are travelling alone and for the first time. They will require you to establish evidence that you will surely go back to the Philippines. This will prevent Filipinos to stay illegally in another country and to avoid human trafficking. So, my advice to you is always prepare your documents.

For employed persons, bring your company ID as proof. Just to be sure, you can also bring your Certificate of Employment (COE) stating what company you work, you are on leave and state your salary. I have heard of some situations that officers are asking for this information, which is why some are offloaded. Yes, I agree that these are too much since you all have other documents to support your claim of being able to travel, but just to be on the safe side, bring these too just in case.

For self-employed and businesspersons like me, you can bring your Income Tax Return and business permit just to be on the safe side also. When I traveled, I always bring these papers but it was never asked of me so far. But like I said earlier, in case they will need that information, you have documents to support your claim that you are indeed a business owner.

Answer Questions Honestly



The immigration officer will ask you a lot of questions like, “Where will you be staying?”, “Who is with you?”, “How long will you be staying?”, and even money related questions like “How much money you are bringing?” These are some of the questions that you need to answer honestly and concisely. Do not give other information that is not asked to avoid more follow up questions from them. Just answer what they ask of you. Act confidently and do not show any signs of nervousness because they might mistake it as if you are lying to them.  

Bring Evidence Showing that You Can Finance Your Travels



The immigration officers really want you to establish the proof that you will go back here in the Philippines and you will not apply for work illegally abroad. So better prepare evidence that you are indeed just vacationing and will come back at the time that you promised to go back. So if they ask you how you can finance your trip, "show them the money” as they say. Tell them that you have money as well as show them your credit cards and ATM cards if you have one. Also, you can show them your Income Tax Return in case they will dig deeper. That is why based on my experience, it will be deemed favorable on your part if you bring other documents like ITR etc.


These are some of the tips that I am suggesting because of my experience having been interviewed quite often when I travel. So to sum up what I had written above; prove to them you are qualified to travel abroad and you will be back in the Philippines afterwards.

    1. Your documents look good in my opinion; they should be proof enough that you will return. Pero in the end, yung immigration pa rin naman ang mag-dedecide dyan. Just be honest and confident. Don't be scared. Happy trip!

    2. Advise ko lng po sayo. Ang ihanda mo po talaga ay kung paano humarap sa IO ng normal at professional. 1.)Respect the IO anumang mangyari. 2.)Eye to eye contact sa pagsagot at dapat isang tanong, isang sagot. 3.)Focus. Wag na wag intindihin ang ibang tao.. Ikaw at IO lang! 4.)Observed body language. 5.)Be smart and alert. Keep in mind na anytime sisindakin ka nila sa pagtatanong 6.)Be prepared. Any docx na magpapatunay ng pagtravel mo dapat nakaready yan.

      Actually, first time ko rin po, mag-isa lang ako at kakaresign ko lang sa work noong nag-travel ako. Yung IO na napuntahan ko ay sobra talaga kung mansindak ng tanong. Dagdagan pa yung nasa katabi ko na passenger na halos magtaas na ng boses at mapalabok kung sumagot sa IO pero nagfocus pa rin ako sa IO na nagbubusisi sa akin. Gaya nga ng sabi sa mga blogs, nakadepende talaga sa passenger kung ano ang itatanong ng IO. That time expected ko na itatanong saken ay Saan ako pupunta? Ano gagawin dun? Ilang araw ako mag stay? Kailan ako babalik? Sino pupuntahan ko? Ano work ko? Etc.. Thanks God ang tanong lang saken, Saan ako pupunta? May kakilala daw ba ako sa pupuntahan ko? Ano work ko? Pero yung the way ng pagtatanong ng IO pasindak talaga at nandidilat pa ng mata hahaha. Tapus bago tatakan bigla ako tinitigan ng matalim halos mga 5secs. gayunpaman relax at normal ko lang din siya tiningnan sa mata. Haha Ayon narinig ko na ang pagtatak! Syempre focus parin kay IO.

      Sa kabuuan, IKAW mismo ang magpapatunay sa IO kung karapat dapat ka payagan makaalis. In my opinion, ang mga docx mo ay lumalabas lang na secondary proof para mapatunayan na maganda ang hangarin mo sa bandang pupuntahan mo. ��

    4. Thanks din po. Andami ko rin sa blog nyo po. Isa lang naintindihan ko sa trabaho ng Mga IO sa atin.. Ang hirap din ng katayuan nila na ma-offload nila yung mga passenger na pde nmn makaalis.. Natatakot din kasi sila na mapahamak mga passenger kapag nasa labas na ng bansa. Hehehe

      Anyways, thanks po. I'm still enjoying my vacation here hehehe.. Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala that time na di man lang ako tinanong kung bakit almost 2weeks ako mag vacation tapos wala ako work hahaha.. So tama talaga yung mga nakalagay sa requirement ng immigration natin!

      Goodluck po sa mga first timer at magtravel magisa tapos wala work. Isipin nyo na lang yung IO ay syang Employer tapos kayo ang applicant. Kapag nalagpasan mo, job offer! :)

  21. Hi po,

    Thank you for sharing these tips to everyone. Kahit na naka-travel na ako before, I always got nervous pag immigration na.

    There's just ne thing I mean to ask though, I've just recently been to SG and stayed there for 2 months with side trip sa Thailand for a backpacking trip. Now just after a month of returning back dito sa Pinas, I am scheduled to tour naman sa Vietnam but this time only for 4 days. Do you think magiging issue yung previous trip ko sa SG and ma-offload ako for my Vietnam tour? Also may mga previous trips din ako earlier this year (HK and Japan) and some others way back. Nakakatakot lang yung idea of being offloaded. Please help. Thanks.

      Simple questions lang naman tinanong sakin,first ask nya(imig. Officer) if first time ko daw ba mag travel, i answered yes! Then he asked if anong gagawin ko dun? Sabi ko holiday po. Then ask nya if ilan days and asks for my hotel accommodation, sabi ko 3days po sabay abot ng paper. Ask nya uli ano work mo? Sabi ko i don't work po hehe, sabay singit ko na i took some of my bank certificate po if ever you wanted to see po. Tingin lang sya sakin hndi nya kinuha ung certificate. Then ask nya ano level ng ntapos ko, sabi ko collage po. Tapos panay lng tingin nya sakin habang check ung mga docs ko, parang nangingilatis ba haha.tapos napansin ko din na tinitignan ang pananamit ko, at tyempo may mga alahas akong suot kaya panay din tingin nya. Sguro naisip nya na hndi nmn tlaga ako mag work dun or something haha.. Deretso lang ako sumagot s mga tanong nya na very confident ako with a smile. Then yun na, sabi nya sige I'll let you travel sabay tatak sa passport. Tips ko lng po sayo eh maging confident, tanong sya deretso sagot ka.with a smile syempre hehe, then wear something nice na mukang kaya mo nmn talaga mag travel kht walang work. Suot ka na dn alahas dagdag factor un s napansin ko,kasi hndi nmn ma dedeny na may ugaling gnun ang pinoy eh, tumitingin sila sa appearance check nila f mukang may kaya nmn or wala.

His school will be the one who will process my dependent pass and my husband said that his school will issue a letter stating that theyll process my papers (dependent pass) in connection to my husband's work permit. In short, i dont have return ticket coz ill be living with my husband in Malaysia. We have our marriage certificate, his school's letter, his financial docs like paycheck etc, his work permit. Im unemployed and a first time traveler. We are traveling together coz that's what the IO advised him when he asked. What else do you think we need to avoid being offloaded? And ive read about cfo. Do you think theyll ask me about that?

  45. Hi. I need an advice and help po. My brother was currently working here in Dubai for 2 years but he's already staying in Philippines since October 2016 until now and he has a girlfriend who already went to SG few years back with her family, and my boyfriend is going with them to Malaysia he is a first time traveler. Do you think po they can make it to pass immigration? My boyfriend is working as a waiter but their company can't provide him leave certificate since he's not a regular employee there or should I say on-call lang po siya. And my brother has a vape shop and her girlfriend is kakaresign lang po sa work she's a nurse. Any advice and tips po. They will travel end of June.
