hello! may question lang ako regarding the ideclaration. kasama ko ang asawa kong foreigner. ang tanong ko is we will both do the ideclaration or ako lang.
If I'm traveling with my 16 yr old Granddaughter, do we each get to carry up to $10,000? Also do I have to declare gold and or valuable jewelry for personal use?
I'll be traveling to the Philippines for the first time in December. This will actually be my first time going to another Country. Will there be a problem with me bringing gifts for my girlfriends children? I assume this would not be a problem if it's in a checked baggage. Will these items need to be declarer?
do i have to declare if i bought preloved wallets, luxury perfumes & shoes, iphones & ipad and couple lotions for pasalubong? havent been back home for 5 yrs now
So I have to declare everything over 10,000 pesos? That's only $180. My phone alone is worth more than that, so this means that I have to pay taxes on all of my clothes and laptop and everything?
Are the items you're declaring also the one you're wearing, like earing, watch or necklace that you're wearing for your personal items that you possess? Or only the one in your luggage. When you arrive at the NAIA and when you depart also you have to go to scan section?
Due to certain restrictions on food habit can we carry sealed pack food items in our checked in baggage? E.g I'm vegan and not sure if I can get vegan across philippines
Hi we’re going to Phils. On June at terminal 1 with my husband, if we’re going to do online declaration (BOC)can I do application at the same time, for the two of us? Thank you
I am traveling in about a 4 days and I am very lost as to what I should be calculating. Does carry-on bag count as a good? My personal laptop?

How much will i have to pay in taxes for a 1 1/2 week vacation? If its items in my luggage, I own two boots that are basically $150 each, will all this be charged as well?

Hi me and my husband are going to the philippines in 2 weeks and we have to bring 4 new iphones, do we need to declare this online?? And sa cebu airport po kami.
If they are prescibed medicines from a doctor, you don't have to declare them. You should, however, put them in a clear plastic bag and put in your carry on in case you need to present them.
I have a question traveling for the first time to Cebu Do you know of a good travel agency there that can accommodate me since I’ve never been and I know what I want to experience
You can find good hotels with Google maps. I've traveled around the Philippines a few times. You really shouldn't have any issues getting a room. And there's plenty of public transportation too. Just make sure you agreed to a price with a taxi before taking one as they are a bunch of con artists
So do I get it right? In 2 weeks I fly to ph , I don't need to declare my laptop and phone right ? But what about my necklace and rings that I am wearing ?
That was my question also because when you get back home to a foreign country, they will scan your body, and you have to remove it. That's what happened to one foreigner who lost his watch at the airport. It's so dangerous going home there now. Maybe just don't wear any expensive items, don't bring anything except for old clothes and just buy things there to be safe. Maraming kawatan sa airport.

@@kostadinustavalkov1902 Thank you so much for alerting me of the requirements. I was so worried and it all seemed very complicated.

I was told you could only take a certain amount of money with you. Plus I take testosterone injections and the are all prescribed . And what if personal cell phones and clothes
Over $10,000 US dollars you have to declare. If you don't declare it and they find it they can arrest you and confiscate the money. At some point you might be able to get it back if you have proof of how you obtained it. But the Philippines does NOT like to give money back to anyone for any reason 😂 so bring $9,999
