[@davidarmitage289]

Thanks So much Jennifer! So excited to take PR119 now in November without a mask! At this time I wanted to thank you for getting us all through the last 3 years of restrictions and all the craziness. We love you in Canada 🇨🇦

[@johnclark7973]

You are SO helpful, Jennifer! You make things understandable/easy. 🙏

[@edgarmominnorway4786]

Thank you for the great info, Jennifer! I’ved waited 4 years to visit. To God be the glory. Kudos to our Mahal na presidenti for uplifting covid rules! Mabuhay👏

[@christinaabarcar9979]

Jennifer, we all love you. You're always so helpful, and everything is so on point and clear to understand. You just saved a lot of us from stress. Pls 🙏 don't stop what you're doing. We all pray you get more subscribers/followers. You deserve everything good in the world. I've come to your channel 4/5 times before going home to Pinas for info. And you never fail to do so. So mahalo🤙 and aloha ❤️🌺

[@ulyssesfewl1059]

Great info, as usual. So, as a foreigner married to a Filipina, if I enter the Philippines with my wife and get a Balikbayan stamp in my passport, does that mean that in future, if I enter the Philippines without my wife, I can still avail Balikbayan privilege, since I would already have a Balikbayan stamp in my passport? Thank you.

[@DRMacutay]

Hi Jennifer, I was just wondering if you could do a video about SIM card registration for tourists coming to the Philippines. Thank you

[@alexanderjwz2124]

the staff at the airport is really helpful to registrate the new sim card, so it safe you from the hassle

[@johnclark7973]

Best/favorite part of every single one of your videos is your sweet voice/smile/bye wave. Gets me everytime. 😉😃

[@bruceb7747]

Great video Jennifer. I always enjoy listening to your clear explanations of navigating the immigration process

[@johnclark7973]

I love your timestamps/chapters!!! It makes it so easy for later when i want to revisit this information. 👏👍👌😎. Thank you, dear.

[@yodathejedi]

Question; Is arrival day still counting as day zero? source on that? Also got Balikbayan 6 weeks ago without asking travelling with my Filipina wife, got all the papers with us but did not need it this time :) Also we stayed 36 days and did not need to show return ticket in origin airport, I guess we should have to do that because they could not possibly know we were going to get Balikbayan. We used palawan pawnshop and world remit a few times and it worked well, just don't forget to bring you passport for id check. Also besides Grab, we used Joyride in Manila & Cebu and it worked as well as Grab :) Also we used metered taxis on a few shorter trips and it was actually half price compared to Grab & Joyride.

[@DavidWilliams-nk6hi]

Always good advice. Been travelling in and out of Philippines for over 13 years. Married 12 years.

[@marlixta]

1:29 I traveled this Aug 15 I am a natural born US citizen so not a balikbayan . I do the e travel each time I have travelled home . The first time I was allowed to come to the Philippines , I did the early version OHP and they did look for it but on subsequent visits they only glanced at it , this recent one no one looked for it ! 🤔 😅 I was surprised the Immigration officer stamped my passport with one year stay 😊, didn’t ask for a return ticket , nor how long I will stay 😃 Terminal 1 wasn’t too long of a line and moved pretty quick.. So it was a painless trip …

[@donrodriguez8615]

I flew into terminal 1 as well 3 weeks ago, after the passport check nothing else was checked . No one asked for the e qr code or the customs form that they give won the flight . Usually when I land at terminal 3 they check everything

Jennifer, great video as always. In regards to the ATM usage, many USA banks reimburse the ₱250 fee. Also, BPI allows up to ₱20,000per withdrawal if you are not an account holder.

[@gszabo5978]

Hi Jennifer. Just so you can let the public know that the customs form that is handed to passengers is a waste of time since 2 days ago they handed it to me in Singapore which I filled out and when arriving in NAIA terminal 3 I asked the immigration officer if he wanted he he said no, and said maybe customs wants it. And of course they never even asked me as I walked out of the customs area. Go figure more paperwork to fill out and trash when outside.

Hi Jennifer, I'd like to add this fact, and I'm not plugging for profit, my English friend resident in Cebu says if you have a HSBC bank account and you withdraw cash from it's own ATMs then there is no cash withdrawal charge, this was 4 years ago, perhaps someone on here could confirm it's still available

Thank you for the miscellaneous info. I am curious if Duals can also have Balikbayan privileges (i.e. duty free shopping, travel tax exemption, etc.). If so, should both passports be presented to immigration and have Balikbayan stamps on them?

[@lilys5095]

Per the government’s definition of ‘Balikbayan’, it includes Filipinos who have been away from the country for at least 1 year.

Hello Jennifer, I have watched all of your videos over the years. This is my first time to ask you about if you can find information on bringing a pet dog to the Philippines? I will be arriving in the Philippines from Toronto Ontario Canada in late October and staying for a month, but I'm still unsure on all the documents I need to provide customs and how the dog will be treated while on the plane plus through the airport?. all the information I can come up with for now is vague, I have emailed the Philippines with no response. From what I understand they just want me to bring my pet dog to the airport upon departure and he just gets boarded with the luggage?

[@lilys5095]

Have you contacted the PH Bureau of Animal Industry to obtain import permit? Also get in touch with the airline regarding how they are going to be handled and their specific requirements for transport.

[@edgarmominnorway4786]

2012 i brought our dog, rottweiler from country of origin Norway. The dog need this document. Microchip, passport, complete vaccine, deworming etc. done by veterinarian. Ofcourse upon buying a plane ticket ask the airlines dog is allowed to their airlines and you should have the right dog sky cannel etc. I hope this will help and please do more research about it.

Hello, I would like clarification on the customs clearance of goods/items for strictly personal use of a foreigner with a 9a visa to the Philippines who is going to see his Filipino girlfriend. I have hiking items worth no more than 10,000 php each. Does the Php10,000 amount apply to the total contents of my backpack or to each (used) item separately ?
