Wow, these tips are a game-changer! Passing through immigration can be stressful, especially with all the horror stories. Thanks for the clear and practical advice!
@@davidburt6659 great to know this. Hope you enjoy your every visit. The BI is actually kind to foreigners coming to the Philippines. It is the Filipinos going out of the country (especially first timers) who are having problems. 😢
I was only 17 when I left the country and I am 66 years old now. I traveled so many times between North America and different Asian countries and aldo Caribbean contries but never expirience offloaded.
awwww!!! So blessed. You left the country so young and traveled the world. That's every Filipino's dream, I believe. Right now, offloading is really a nightmare for most Filipinos, especially those who are traveling out of the country for the first time. Hope it'd change in the next few years. Keep safe always. Hope to hear your travel stories one day. :)
The thing is the country youre visiting have already approved your Visa and theres so many ways to stop people being victims of Human trafficking , but instead they chose to prevent you from flying when you already paid many thousands of pesos sometimes even hundred of thousands. to offload you which make me think its the main reason why theyre doing it.
Planning to go to Bali next year first time traveling, is that a place rin ba na maraming human trafficking? like am I more likely to to get offloaded if dun ako for my first travel destination?
Bali seems safe. Since mahigpit din ang Indonesia for tourists so feeling ko PH immig won’t be that strict, provided you can prove to them you are a legit traveler. Just ready your travel documents. :)
@@elyvalendez ohh, I have a sponsor, we’ve been talking for a bit and he wants to proceed to the next stage na for our relationship so sabi ko I won’t do it unless we meet. so ayun he would sponsor my trip and i’ll be staying with him for a short time. yung invitation letter po, paano po yung format and should it be notarized ? then yung affidavit of support, dun po yung i notarize sa indonesia right? and lastly, since may affidavit of support na, does he need to write a sponsorship letter and have it notarized rin po ba ? (quite a lot of questions, thank you po hehe)
@ ohhh. Do you have your own source of funds? If yes, better travel as a tourist. If matagal pa naman, lagay lang regularly ng savings sa bank account that you will use as proof of funds. Going the sponsorship route might raise some red flags sa immig especially if sasabihin mo na first time ninyong magkikita. Nevertheless, just prepare the documents. Must be notarized sa country where they’re prepared. All the best!
Last Nov 27 po offload din po bf ko, with complete documents po🥹 1st IO okay po siya then ni transfer sa 2nd IO for verification lang po sana ng documents tapos napo sa question and answer sa 1st IO, pero ginisa pa po ulit ng 2nd IO, how many months to wait po kaya before makapag travel? Thank you po! :)
Oh My! Sorry to hear this. Try lang uli. I have a friend who was offloaded one day then tried again the next day, and she was able to travel to Dubai. It really depends on the IO and the reason you’d give the next time you try. Prepare the documents necessary but do not over prepare. Ibigay lang kapag hiningi, preferably soft copies only. All the best sa bf mo!
Hello, ask ko lang po redflag poba na sa hong kong and destination ko pero meron din pong macau sa itinerary ko. 4days 3nights langnkami ng boyfriend ko pero complete po kami sa documents. Thank you.
Hello, as long as complete documents, goods 'yan. Hong Kong-Macau naman is the usual part ng trip of anyone who's flying to HK. All the best and enjoy the trip! :)
Hello po sir, na confiscate po kc passport ko nung friday at sabing makukuha ito after 2 weeks at matagal namn un, ask ko po sana kung pwedeng irequest na ipadala sa DFA dto sa amin po kahit wala pang 2 weeks at complete na po ang documents ko. Thank you po.
Hello, bale na-offload ka and na-confiscate passport mo? Immigration officer nag-confiscate? Ano daw reason? At bakit need na confiscated ang passport? Best is to try na mag-request if you can’t wait for two weeks. Hoping na mabilis nila sinu-surrender sa DFA yung passports.
Hello po balak po kaso namin mag travel ng mga anak ko, parehas po silang minor, and then illegitimate child po silang pareho, bale ang mag sposor po samin eh yung mother in law ko po na nasa macau, tapos nasa macau din po asawa ko, .. ano po mga papers na hahanapin sa immigration? Kelangan pa po ba ng father consent po ng mga bata?
Hello, I’m not really an expert on this but kung ako magprepare ng documents, I’d prepare the following: 1. Birth Certificates ng mga bata with your name as their mother on it. That would be enough to bring them with you. 2. As for you, if with a sponsor, prepare na lang proof of relationship with your husband. Best to prepare marriage certificate, just in case. 3. Bank statement - to show funds, and proof of remittance from your husband. 4. Accommodation, best na ikaw na magbook ng mga hotels para nakapangalan sa’yo or at least ipangalan nila sa’yo and masend sa email mo confirmation. 5. Sample itinerary for your travel. 6. Return tickets. 7. Bring enough cash, in HK dollars. Prepare lang. Might not be needed but best to prepare. Do not bring them out unless hanapin ni IO. How old are the kids by the way?
@@butchfajardo8832 ohhh. Nice angle din ‘yan if ever true na may cut sila because that would be corruption. Let me do my research. Pwede nating next topic. Hindi kasi pwedeng dumaan ng immig kung walang ticket kasi mandatory ang boarding pass before ka makaharap sa immigration officer. Also, it won’t make any sense dahil mas mahal ang ticket kung bibili ka sa airport on the day of your travel.
@@elyvalendez, sabi ko noon, you just have to look at the airport to see the problems! All they have to do is make the passengers do the immigration screening before buying tickets, pay all the fees before going to the airport. Designate an office where we will go. Kung pumasa na sa immigration, punta ka na sa pag bayad ng other fees! So pag punta sa airport ng passenger, check in baggage ka na lang and wait for your flight! Just imagine this! Malaking comfort sa passengers, di ba?
@@elyvalendez, please do your research on the percentage of the tickets. Ka konchaba nila ang mga airlines! Malaki kita nila pareho lalo na kung na offload ay going to Europe! We didn't research on this! We just happen to talk to the right people! Decades na namin alam ito!
It is my first time traveling and I am alone and it was sponsored by the aunt of my mom po. I do have all my docs naman po such as; return ticket, visa, birth cert paano naging related, letter of guarantee, letter of invitation, COE ng guarantor, & passport nila. But kinakabahan ako kasi po ang AOS ko is thru gmail lang binigay kasi po hindi nila alam paano maipapadala here sa PH. My flight is on oct 15 na po, please help me po how to pass the immigration. Thank you so much po.
Hello Hannah, hope you pass the immigration smoothly. Depends on where you going 'yung higpit, and who are you visiting, and the purpose of visit. Best to practice answering the basic questions like that with confidence, and you are good. Answer must be straightforward. Dapat din sure sa sagot.
@@HannahDayanan as far as I know, Japan is safe naman. I never heard of anyone who got offloaded when traveling to Japan (unless someone says otherwise in the comments). Kasi hindi naman basta-basta nagbibigay ng Visa si Japan. Just be calm and confident, you'd definitely get through immigration.
Sana yung patakaran nila e bahin.. Interview muna bago bili nang ticket kasi sayang eh bibili kah taz e offload ka lang nila.. Kahit nga complete kapa nang hinihingi sila lang may karapatan mag offload, hindi man lang inicip mga ginastos imbis na mag tour kah kahit saglit para pang refresh lang mas lalong lumala kasi e offload ka lang.
@@elyvalendez Taz gigisahin ka nang tanung hanggang sa malapit na oras nang alis mo wala kana magawa kasi hindi kah pinaalis 😆 tapos ibang airlines walang refund ang sakit sa bulsa. Sakit pa sa dibdib.
Tayo lang ang bansa na di makapag abroad kc sa dami ng documents hinihintay , dapat ang maghanap nyan ung babsang pupuntahan natin. At ang babsang pupuntahan mo lang ang may right na mag offload. Kaloka talaga.
Nakakahiya talaga ang sistema at talamak na abuse of power diyan sa Pilipinas. Shame, shame,shame. Ang daming mga nabiktimang Pinoy na ok naman ang mga dokumento, samantalang iyong si Alice Guo walang kahirap hirap nakalabas ng Pilipinas.

It's really saddening to hearing stories of offloading especially when it's a legit travel. Have you experienced getting offloaded po?
Thank you this is very useful and giving the tips because we are first time travelers
Glad it was helpful! Thankies!
Very insightful! I agree that confidence is the key.. and dress modestly.
Indeed! Sana wala nang legit travelers na ma-offload. 😀

Totoo po 'yan. Lahat halos ng dumadaan dito, ganyan ang reklamo sa patakaran. Hopefully, magbago na.
