It is a Philippines "republic" which is supposed ot allow their people the right to leave. Perhaps if the officials of the country made it a better placee to live, then more of their citizens would return.

- the both of you are leaving PH together and.
- the both of you are arriving into HK also together?
That is how I did it with my GF and there was no trouble at either end. Just have to show the HK hotel where you are stayng and also they may ask for her return flight.
Not sure of your nationality, but with my US passport there was no issues of us coming together.
Good luck.

Posts: 451Think her passport must be valid at least 6-9 month from scheduled return date. If she was red flagged or denied on another passport, there could be problems.

Posts: 451IMHO, you with her and her having 2 kids and late 20's are good enough for both sides. Hotel reservation (you) and return ticket (hers) comes to mind. I have not tried, but I have been considering getting these prepaid Credit / Debit cards as show for pinay's wallet. Also as backup. There is a monthly charge and I assume can be cancelled without penalties. Used to use double signature travellers checks when I used to get them for free. Think they are still out there because I got one as payment. LOL

I have a few questions regarding BI letting Pinay out of the country.
I will be flying to Hong Kong with a Pinay friend. She is single in her late 20's with 2 children, has had her passport for 4 years and never exit the Philippines. We will be in Hong Kong for a few days and returning.
I have read about some problems about BI letting girls out.
1. Is the Cebu airport worst or better than the Manila airport in going thru immigration for Pinays?
2. We will have some pictures proving our friendship going back 3 years. Anything else we might need?
3. What travel papers will she need?
Thanks in advance for your help in this.

Posts: 451Not aimed at you specifically WC. I don't know where most of the posters hail from but I was asked those type of information for ID check by various financial institutions when doing telephone inquiries 20 plus years ago. They were asking information not supplied by me. They even dumbed it down further by making it multiple choice.
I think retinal scans are used by some countries. I am not sure. But those pictures US border control takes of you are not because you are so handsome. And there is not an option to opt out.

Relational data bases can be linked by a lot of different things. For example if you ever entered your passport number, say on an airline booking site, then your passport number can become linked to the IMEI number on your phone, then you can be tracked to location anywhere in the world. Some even say that the tracking can occur if your phone is turned off and the battery installed. Your posts here could also be tracked by the IMEI number.
Pay for that flight with your credit card, then all your travels, both locally and internationally, can be tracked by anyone having your passport number.
So you enter a third country, they scan your passport and see that you were just on P. Burgos Street a few nights ago as he is reading your FR about your exploits. Some places and some people take a dim view of people doing that sort of thing. So he asks you in front of your wife how you liked your threesome.
I am also a little concerned about identity theft from all this linked info. Sometimes the links can include sufficient information to discern your security questions. What is your mother's maiden name? How often is that asked here? How often is it used as a security question?
I had my Canadian bank accounts hacked a few months ago. It took over a month to regain full control over my funds. I did not lose any money. I was lucky I had just transferred several months living to my Philippine account. Had I not done that I could have been hard up for ready funds here outside of cash advances on my credit cards with high interest rates.
With the loss of privacy that the internet can bring along with all the benefits, we can expect more and more of that sort of thing in the future.

Quite obviously, my past travels popped up on the screen in front of him, so I would surmise that if an immigration agent is interested he or she can easily check where you have been from the records on the computer. Of course, I don't know if the Australian agent could also check USA or other countries' records. My guess would be that the whole system has tentacles everywhere now per Interpol or some other link.
It doesn't concern me too much because I never infringe visa or other travel requirements.

I know Canada and the US are tightly integrated and they share info on the shared border but what about my flying into the US from a third world country or be why land from Mexico? Does Canada know about it? (I an Canadian remember.) How about an American flying into Canada from a third country?
I spent 9 years in Afghanistan, with multiple trips into Dubai as well as a couple into Pakistan, Indonesia here and a few other places. On my old passport with all the stamps I was always hassled at US customs and usually asked a few additional questions at other places. All that stopped when that passport expired and I was issued a new one. I don't know if the questions came because of the physical evidence of my travels in my passport or something showed up on the computer. I think it was physical evidence otherwise the computer would have showed that I worked for the US government as a contractor and had a security clearance and lots of access to the military bases there. Lots of times they typed my responses into their computer so they could just have been confirming what was shown.
