FYI , FORM is not needed for departure Filipinos. Kaya etravel means it's ONLINE , electronic . Once nakapag log in na sa etravel and nagsubmit na online, ok na. Naka-incorporate na sa BI system ang etravel.

Hi po 😊 my question po kasma ko ang gf at anak ko na 9yrs old. Lahat po kami 1St time namin kung sakali.. Sponsor lang po nang tita ng gf ko na taga California na mag aasian tour Bale sa Singapore kami magkikita, sagot niya po lahat pati hotel namin.. Ang tanong po: hihingian po ba kami nang affidavit? 3days and 2nights kami . Salamat po sa pag sagot..
Hello po. Ako po ay US citizen na uuwi ng Pinas then isasama ko iyong sister ko at anak niya magbakasyon sa Singapore. Jobless po itong sister ko kasi nagaalaga ng mga pamangkin. Wala po siyang COE. Ako po ang magbabayad sa lahat ng gastusin like airfare, hotel accommodation and iyong transportation card. What do we need to prepare?
Hi po! Yes, based on experience, meron lang pong generic questions that you need to answer (via online) - hence if wala pong dala, you will just need to answer as necessary 😇
Hello po! Based po sa recent experience namen, no need na po. However it is good to check from time to time their immigration website for any updated requirements 😇
Hi! Were you charged 0.60 sgd everyday by your credit card provider? I read that there is an admin fee charged for everyday a credit card is used in singapore. If not then could you let me know how much of a premium was charged for using the credit card as opposed to going with cash? Thanks!
Hello po! Yes, there will be charges on top po. Please note of what is stipulated sa kanilang website : Q: Will foreign-issued contactless credit and debit cards be accepted for use on public transport in Singapore? Are there any extra charges to use these cards? A: Foreign-issued contactless credit and debit cards are accepted for payment on our public transport network. An administrative fee of up to $0.50 will be applicable per posting. Additionally, foreign cardholders may be subjected to other fees imposed by their issuing banks. Hope this helps! :)
Hi po! Going to Singapore doesn’t require any visa po and the basic requirement is passport, ticket going home Manila and home accommodation. They also do have automated clearance machines where the only requirement needed are passport and boarding pass ☺️
Hi first time traveling to singapore with my family. We can support ourselves po but the trip will be fully sponsored by a good friend of mine. So bff lang po what kind of proof of relationship towards the sponsor po kaya ang pwedeng ipakita or hanapin ni IO? Salamat po
I think you just need to prepare your own docs since kaya naman pala. Wag nlng e sabi na sponsored pra wala na madami tanong. Just my 2 cents😊 Nag HK ako before credit cards ko lang dala kong proof of monetary capacity. No questions ask na😊
Hi Sir. Ask ko po sana kasi currently working ako dito sa SG, isasabay ko po sana kapatid ko pagbalik ko ng SG kasi mag 1 week vacation ako sa Pinas. Tapos as gift po sana sakanya dahil kaga graduate lang po ng college. Ano po kaya mga possible na tatanungin sakanya.
Hi po! Basically and based on our experience, wala naman po maxadong hinihinging documents but in case that this will be asked, a copy will suffice po :)
Hi po! Kung ikaw ay pupunta sa Singapore para sa isang plant visit na sponsored ng supplier, kailangan mong maghanda ng tamang mga dokumento para sa immigration. Narito ang mga pangunahing dokumentong dapat mong dalhin: ### **1. Invitation Letter from the Supplier** - Dapat nakasaad ang: - Layunin ng pagbisita (e.g., plant visit, training, business meeting). - Mga detalye ng kumpanya (pangalan, address, contact details). - Mga petsa ng iyong pagbisita. - Pahayag na sila ang mag-sponsor ng iyong travel at accommodations. - Mas maganda kung naka-letterhead ito ng kumpanya. ### **2. Company Endorsement Letter (Optional)** - Kung ikaw ay empleyado ng isang kumpanya sa Pilipinas, magdala ng endorsement letter na nagpapatunay na ang biyahe ay may kaugnayan sa trabaho mo. - Dapat nakasaad ang: - Iyong posisyon. - Kumpirmasyon na babalik ka sa iyong trabaho pagkatapos ng biyahe. ### **3. Proof of Sponsor’s Financial Capability** - Ang supplier ay kailangang magbigay ng patunay na kaya nilang sagutin ang iyong travel expenses: - Bank statements (kung available). - Flight and hotel bookings (kung pre-paid). ### **4. Detailed Itinerary** - Dapat nakasaad ang mga aktibidad sa plant visit, mga lugar na pupuntahan, at ang schedule. ### **5. Supporting Documents for Travel** - Valid passport (at least 6 months validity). - Roundtrip flight ticket. - Hotel booking confirmation (kung kasama sa sponsorship). - Travel insurance (optional pero mas mabuting mayroon). ### **6. Employment Documents (kung applicable)** - Certificate of Employment. - Company ID. ### **7. Additional Documents** - If applicable, Work Permit Exemption: Hindi mo ito karaniwang kailangan para sa plant visits dahil maikli lang ang pagbisita, pero siguruhin mo ito sa Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website sa Singapore. ### **Tips for Immigration:** - Magdala ng kopya ng lahat ng dokumento sa hard copy at digital copy. - Magbigay ng maayos at kumpiyansang sagot kapag tinanong sa immigration tungkol sa layunin ng iyong biyahe. - Banggitin ang iyong sponsor at layunin ng iyong pagbisita nang malinaw. Ang mga dokumentong ito ay makakatulong upang mapatunayan na lehitimo ang iyong pagbisita at babalik ka sa Pilipinas pagkatapos ng iyong trip.

Hi po! As of January 31, 2025, travelers entering Singapore are still required to submit the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) electronically. This submission should be completed within three days prior to your arrival in Singapore. This is accessible naman po sa kanilang immigration website 😇 You can submit the SGAC through the following official channels: SGAC e-Service: Accessible online via the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website. MyICA Mobile Application: Available for free on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). This app offers a profile-saving function, allowing for quicker submissions on future trips. ICA.GOV.SG

Hi po! Here’s a guide for your situation as a Filipino planning to travel to Singapore with your child and sister-in-law: Key Considerations for Entry to Singapore Singapore is generally welcoming to tourists, but immigration officers might ask for proof that you can financially support your stay. Since you don’t have a job and rely on your live-in partner, providing strong supporting documents is essential. What You Need to Prepare 1. **Passport Validity** - Ensure all your passports are valid for at least **6 months** beyond your intended stay in Singapore. 2. **Proof of Financial Support** - Since your live-in partner is funding the trip, provide the following: - **Bank Statement**: A 3-6 month history showing sufficient funds to cover your travel expenses (your account or your partner’s account if they’re supporting you). - **Affidavit of Support and Guarantee (AOS)**: If possible, your live-in partner can execute an AOS to confirm they are covering all expenses. Notarizing this document adds credibility. 3. **Round-Trip Ticket** - Show confirmed bookings for both arrival and departure flights. Immigration officers often check this to ensure you plan to return to the Philippines. 4. **Accommodation Details** - Hotel booking confirmations or a letter from your host in Singapore (if staying with friends/family). 5. **Travel Itinerary** - A clear daily itinerary of your planned activities in Singapore to show the purpose of your visit. 6. **Additional Supporting Documents** - Birth certificate of your child to prove relationship. - Any document showing your sister-in-law is related to you or your partner (optional but helpful). 7. **Sister-in-Law’s Financial Proof** - Even if you’re paying for her, it’s helpful if she can also present her own bank statement or supporting documents. --- ### **Tips for Immigration in Singapore** 1. **Be Honest and Confident** - When asked about the trip, explain that it’s for tourism and that your partner is funding it. Avoid overexplaining or showing nervousness. 2. **Stay Within Allowed Visit Period** - Tourists are typically allowed to stay up to **30 days**. Ensure your plans fit within this timeline. 3. **Prepare to Show Supporting Documents** - While immigration might not always ask for these, having them ready increases your chances of smooth entry. --- ### **Things to Keep in Mind** - Traveling without a job is not necessarily a red flag as long as you can prove financial stability. - Immigration decisions can vary case by case, so being prepared with documents reduces risks.

Hi po! Yes sir, it needs to be per person kc considered po syang ticket for you to be able to use the public transpo....on the infant po, they are normally free (based sa previous experience namen). Kids po namen at 4 years old already required magkaroon ng KID's pass (mas mababa ung pamasahe). Hope this helps :)
Sir what if contractual/ job order sa government? And okay lang ba bank certificate? And.. what if po kasama ko yung brother ko who mostly paid for the trip as a birthday gift
Hi po! If you are a private contractor, normally same lang din po ang inaask the documents (bank cert, DTI, job order contract, proof of contract, etc) as if you are working as full time - not 100% sure po pag Government contractor :) Please note that this is just based on our experience or observation - better to ask the IO or DFA for any clarificatory questions para makasure po :)
Hi po sir. Ask ko lang po if yung sim na nabili nyo is okay to use po sa Malaysia? We are planning to exit po in Malaysia from SG. Thanks po and God bless.
Hello po! About sa internet connection kasi naka plan ako and locked ang sim to the network, anong best option to get internet connection sa SG? Thanks in advance!
Hi po! This is a legit question - in this case, we highly suggest you use pocket wifi (airport or via klook) as locked phones are also not possible even for e-sim. Thanks for watching po!!
Hello! I would like to ask lang if pa-paano po if I am a student then teacher po yung mom ko sa singapore. Then may innvitation letter naman na po ako kasama yung work, lace niya and sinabi rin o na si mama ang may sagot ng expenses ko, okay lang o ba na ganito??
Hi po! Yes, your setup should be fine as long as you prepare all the necessary documents to support your application for entry to Singapore. Since your mom works as a teacher there and will be sponsoring your expenses, here's what you need to do: 1. **Invitation Letter**: Make sure your mom's invitation letter clearly states that she is inviting you to Singapore, her address, her job details, and that she will cover all your expenses. The letter should also specify the purpose of your visit. 2. **Proof of Employment**: Your mom should provide proof of her employment in Singapore, such as a certificate of employment, work pass, or letter from her employer. 3. **Financial Proof**: Even if your mom is sponsoring you, it's good to include documents that demonstrate her ability to support you financially. Examples include bank statements or her payslips for the last few months. 4. **Your Documents**: - A valid passport with at least six months validity. - A completed Singapore visa application form, if you require a visa. - Your student ID or proof of enrollment at your school, which can show that you’re a legitimate student. 5. **Additional Information**: - Your travel itinerary and return ticket to show that you plan to leave Singapore after your visit. - Accommodation details, whether you're staying with your mom or elsewhere. 6. **Visa Application (if needed)**: If you’re from the Philippines and traveling to Singapore for a short visit (up to 30 days), you typically don’t need a visa. However, check Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website for updated requirements. As long as you provide all these documents and demonstrate that you have a clear purpose for visiting and the financial support to sustain your stay, your application should go smoothly.

@@WhatThe_Paulsir itatanong ko lang po yung passport id ko po kasi ginamit sa pagregister ng singtel prepaid apps, nde po ako yung ginagamit na singtel sim sa singapore andto po kasi ako sa pilipinas.. magkakaproblema po ba ko nun, na yung pinangregister po ng singtel sim ay yung number ko?
hello po sir paul planning to visit sa SG this year, about po duon sa COE wala po ako nun since unemployed po ako. Pero meron naman po akong income dahil sa mga side hustles ko + may ipon na din, Bali kasama ko po father ko sya po may sponsor sa trip namin & X ofw po sya.(pero now may work naman) wala po kayang maging problema sakin? TY PO🤍
Hi po! thanks for watching our vlog! Since you’re planning to visit Singapore and you don’t have a Certificate of Employment (COE) because you're currently unemployed, that shouldn’t be a major issue as long as you can demonstrate that you have sufficient funds for your trip. You mentioned that you have income from side hustles and savings, which is a positive point. Your father, who is a former OFW and now employed, will be sponsoring your trip. It’s important to prepare the necessary documents, such as: - A notarized affidavit of support and guarantee from your father. - Proof of your father’s employment or financial capacity (such as payslips, bank statements, or employment certificate). - Your bank statements to show your savings and financial stability. - Other supporting documents like your father’s itinerary and hotel bookings. These documents will help reassure immigration officials that you have the means to support yourself during your stay and that you’ll return to the Philippines after your visit. Make sure everything is complete and well-organized to avoid any issues. Safe travels and enjoy your trip to Singapore! 🤍 Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

Hi po. Question lang po. You mentioned at least 6 months validity for the passport. Does that mean hindi po talaga pwedeng mag travel to SG if below 6 months yung passport validity? Actually we just got our passport and were planning to fly this coming August for a leisure trip. Thank you!
Hello po! The 6-months validity rule is a guide from our DFA from their latest policy po ☺️ Congratulations po on getting your new passport and SG is a good place to travel into. Have a safe trip po! ☺️
Hi po! Based on our recent experience, hindi na po sya inask. But we suggest if meron naman po kayong ready documents, you may bring it with you para sure 👍☺️
Hi po! Thanks for the suggestion and to our next trip, let me try po ung GOMO....normally, bumibili po kami ng local sim card in the country we are in para mas matipid. But this is a nice suggestion :)
good day po. plan po namin na mag travel sa sg. may work na po ako before, pero natapos na po noong last day of the year. yung jowa ko po may travel history before, ako lang po wala pang travel history. anong way po or requirements na need po ipakita? thank you very much po 😊
Good day! Thanks for watching our vlog! Since you mentioned that you don’t have a travel history but your partner does, there are still ways to strengthen your application for traveling to Singapore. Here's what you can prepare: Proof of Financial Capacity: Since you no longer have a current job, showing that you have sufficient funds for the trip is essential. You can provide: Bank statements (at least 3 to 6 months). Proof of income from any side hustles, savings, or investments you may have. Affidavit of Support (if applicable): If your partner will be sponsoring your trip, they can submit an affidavit of support along with their financial documents (like payslips, bank statements, or tax returns) to show they can cover your expenses during the trip. Return Ticket and Hotel Reservations: Show proof of round-trip flight bookings and hotel reservations to demonstrate your travel plans and intention to return to the Philippines. Cover Letter: You might consider writing a cover letter explaining your trip and why you’re traveling to Singapore. Mention any planned activities, and if possible, reference your partner's travel history, which might reassure immigration officials that you have a responsible travel plan. Other Supporting Documents: If you have any supporting documents like previous employment records, certificates, or other ties to the Philippines (e.g., family, property), you can include them as well. Just make sure all your documents are clear and properly organized to avoid any confusion at immigration. Good luck with your travel plans, and safe travels! 😊 Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

Hello po! As a Filipino traveling to Singapore for the first time with, 11-year-old child, here are the **documents and tips** you should prepare to present to the Philippine Immigration Officer (IO): --- ### **Basic Travel Documents** 1. **Valid Passports** - Ensure both your and your child’s passports are valid for at least **6 months** beyond your travel dates. 2. **Round-Trip Tickets** - Print your confirmed round-trip airline tickets to show your travel itinerary and return date. 3. **Accommodation Details** - Provide proof of where you will stay in Singapore, such as: - Hotel booking confirmation. - If staying with a friend or relative, include their address, invitation letter (if possible), and a copy of their ID or residency permit. 4. **Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC)** - Complete the SGAC online before your flight. This is required by Singapore for immigration clearance. --- ### **Financial Proof** Since you're a housewife receiving remittances from your husband: 1. **Affidavit of Support and Guarantee (if possible)** - Your husband may execute an **Affidavit of Support** to demonstrate he is financially supporting your trip. 2. **Proof of Remittance** - Show remittance receipts or bank statements indicating regular financial support. 3. **Cash or Cards** - Carry sufficient cash or credit cards to prove you can cover expenses during your trip. --- ### **Parental Documents** 1. **Child’s Birth Certificate** - Bring a PSA-certified birth certificate to prove your relationship with your child. 2. **Parental Consent (if applicable)** - If your husband is not traveling with you, Immigration may ask for a **DFA-authenticated parental consent** signed by him, permitting you to travel with your child. --- ### **Purpose of Travel** 1. **Travel Itinerary** - Prepare a detailed itinerary (e.g., Universal Studios visit, Gardens by the Bay) to show your trip is purely for tourism. 2. **Other Supporting Documents** - If applicable, show proof of your child’s enrollment (e.g., school ID, enrollment form) to assure you will return after the trip. --- ### **Tips for IO Interview** 1. Be calm, polite, and honest. Answer questions confidently, such as: - **Purpose of travel**: Tourism, family bonding, or vacation. - **Source of funds**: Explain that your husband sends remittances to support your expenses. 2. Prepare answers for questions like: - Why are you traveling? - How will you fund the trip? - What does your husband do, and where is he based? --- ### **Important Reminder** The IO assesses travelers to prevent trafficking and illegal migration. Having complete documents and clear answers will minimize delays or additional questioning. Would you like help drafting your Affidavit of Support or other travel-related forms? ---- Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

Hello, makakapasa po kaya kami sa Immigration if kasama ko po mother ko na unemployed? Sagot ko naman po mostly ng travel expenses since late birthday treat ko po sa kanya. Thank you po
Hi po! We also are travelling with our parents and so far no concerns naman po as long as the basic documents are available with you (Passport, return ticket and hotel accomodation). It may help to also bring some proof of income like ITR or Payslips. Please note that the IOs may ask questions so be prepared nalang po sa itinerary and other plans. Have a safe trip po!
@@GrejyMacs1986 Kasama ko si mama pero ang interview isa isa kahit katabi ko siya :) tinanong lang sa mom ko if kaano ano niya ako and if OFW siya.. sakin naman tinanong nya lang work ko.. then tatak. basta sa interview ikaw muna mauna para if ever need ipresent bank statement maipakita mo na agad then mabilis na yan :) Dont worry mabilis lang yan lalo na kasama si mother mo kasi mas magaan IO sa kanila :D basta may return tix, accommodation tapos financial reqs na maipapakita mo if ever keri na... basta be ready pa rin :)

Hello po! Based on our understanding and experience, as long as meron po kayong (1) valid passport with 6 months validity, (2) Hotel accommodation, (3) Return Ticket, (4) Financial Capacity documents like COE, bank statement or Business registration if with business. The question of our immigration officer will center po if you / your family member will go back to the Philippines and if maproprove po yun, for sure wala ponng magiging problem. Have a safe trip and ingat po! :) Disclaimer : our suggestions and advises are from our own experience and may be different from you (under different circumstances) hence it is better to check this from the proper authority.
Sir wat if ang permit namin is only brgy permit bec.our bussines is rolling business only and we only selling veggies fruits and eggs possible po ba na ma offload kami kasama po namin ang aiming 7yr old na Anak gusto LNG namin sia ipasyal dun ang matagal n namin plan na makatravel sa SG

Planning to travel po next week with my senior parents ages 71-75 both with Philippines passport ksama po ako at anak ko both holding UK passports. Any idea if this would be a problem? I’ll be paying for all the expenses. Ano kaya documents we will need? Any idea?
Hi po! Based on our experience traveling with senior citizens, wala pong maxadong tanong. Normally, it will be to confirm the date of return and place/location of stay as long as the accompanying adult can inform the IO that you will be supporting the trip po. Kindly bring with you some documents linking your relationships din to prove po na family members kayo (Birth Certificate, or any valid documents will do). Hope this helps and have a safe travel po! 👍 Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

I'm travelling po February 2025, need pa rin po ba mag show ng accomodation kahit 1 day lang po ako for ASEAN Career Fair(4th year studs/fresh grads)? May letter of invitation po ako tas mag po provide sila ng travel scholarship, ano po reasons if may possibility ma offload?
Hi po!! If you’re traveling to Singapore in February 2025 for the ASEAN Career Fair as a 4th-year student or fresh graduate, here’s what you need to prepare and consider to avoid potential offloading: --- ### **1. Accommodation Requirement** Yes, even for a one-day trip, it’s advisable to show proof of accommodation (e.g., hotel booking or a confirmation of where you will stay). Immigration officers may ask for this to ensure you have proper arrangements, even if your trip is brief. If your sponsor or the event organizers are covering this, you can provide a document or email confirming the arrangement. --- ### **2. Supporting Documents to Bring** Since you mentioned having a **Letter of Invitation** and a travel scholarship, these are critical to proving the legitimacy of your trip. Ensure you also have the following: - **Letter of Invitation:** From the ASEAN Career Fair organizers, specifying your participation and the scholarship provided. - **Flight Tickets:** Roundtrip tickets showing your return to the Philippines within a reasonable timeframe. - **Proof of Travel Sponsorship:** A document or letter stating that the organizers will cover your travel expenses, including accommodation if applicable. - **School ID and Enrollment Certificate (if applicable):** To show your status as a student or recent graduate. - **Detailed Itinerary:** Mentioning your purpose, event date, and schedule. - **Travel Insurance (Optional):** While not always required, it can strengthen your case. --- ### **3. Reasons You Might Be Offloaded** Immigration officers in the Philippines are tasked with ensuring that travelers have legitimate purposes for leaving and that they are not vulnerable to illegal recruitment or human trafficking. Common reasons for being offloaded include: - **Insufficient Supporting Documents:** Not providing evidence for your trip purpose (e.g., invitation letter, sponsor details). - **No Proof of Accommodation or Return Ticket:** Immigration may doubt your intent to return to the Philippines. - **Inconsistent Answers:** If your answers about your trip’s purpose or sponsorship are unclear or inconsistent. - **Lack of Financial Proof:** Although your trip is sponsored, having a small amount of personal funds (e.g., for emergencies) can help show preparedness. - **Red Flags in Travel History:** If it’s your first international trip and you lack experience or strong ties to the Philippines (e.g., school or work commitments). --- ### **Tips to Avoid Offloading** 1. **Prepare All Required Documents:** Have printed and digital copies ready. 2. **Be Honest and Confident:** Answer immigration questions clearly about your event and sponsorship. 3. **Highlight Your Return Plans:** Explain that you are a student or fresh graduate, emphasizing your ties to the Philippines (e.g., ongoing studies, family, or job opportunities). --- With proper documentation and clear answers, the likelihood of being offloaded is significantly reduced. Have a great trip and good luck at the ASEAN Career Fair!

Hello po! We havent experienced staying sa friend or relatives house/apartment sa ibang bansa but normally if the traveller can show proof or letter of invitation na-approve naman ho (with proof of relationship). I suggest to consult po a travel agency to be very sure po ☺️ Disclaimer lang po that our advise or opinion is based sa actual na experience and should not replace the advise of concerned authorities ☺️
Hello po! Based po sa info namen, yes po pwede. But better to double check with your bank if its is automatically activated sa foreign atm/transactions ☺️☺️☺️
Heĺlo po sir , sa december mag babakasyon po sana ako sa singapore ng 1 week, isa po ang ofw dto sa kuwait , pinadaan lang po ako ng kapatid ko na ofw po sa singapore, tapos po sabay kame uuwe ng pinas Ano po mga requirements na kakailanganin ko.
Hello po. Ask ko lang po how about if my parents don't have work since retired na but I want to treat them ng international travel and booked na rin ang return flight ticket and accommodation, would it still be required na magpakita ang parents ko ng proof of financial capacity to travel sa immigration officer?
Hello po! If you're a *Philippine passport holder* traveling to *Singapore* and planning to bring your retired parents along for the trip, it’s important to understand the immigration requirements, especially regarding *proof of financial capacity*. Here's how it works: 1. *Who is Responsible for Proof of Financial Capacity?* Since your parents are *retired* and no longer working, they may not have a regular source of income to show as *proof of financial capacity*. However, since you mentioned that you will be *treating them to an international trip* and you’ve already booked their *return flight ticket* and *accommodation*, *you* (as the person funding the trip) are generally the one who needs to provide proof of financial capacity to show that your parents can afford the trip. 2. *Proof of Financial Capacity - What’s Needed?* As the sponsor or person funding the trip, you would need to demonstrate that you have enough funds to support your parents' travel. Here are some documents you can provide to the *Philippine Immigration Officer* to show proof of financial capacity: - *Bank Certificate or Bank Statement* (showing sufficient funds to cover the trip for you and your parents) - *Payslips or Income Tax Return (ITR)* (if applicable) showing your financial capacity to sponsor the trip - *Credit card statements* (if applicable, showing that you can pay for the expenses) - *Letter of Guarantee* (if you have one, stating that you will be financially supporting their trip) 3. *What Immigration Officers Look For:* The *Philippine Immigration* typically looks for evidence that the *traveler* (or in this case, your parents) has the means to support themselves during the trip, or that they have a sponsor (you). Since you are sponsoring their travel, the officer will want to confirm that the trip is financially supported. *For Your Retired Parents:* - Since your parents are retired, they may not have current *employment* documents. However, you can explain to the immigration officer that you are sponsoring the trip and provide supporting documents like your *bank statements* and your *sponsorship letter*. - You may also want to include copies of their *retirement papers or pension documents*, as it may help explain their situation. 4. *Other Travel Requirements for Your Parents:* Aside from the proof of financial capacity, your parents may also need to meet other requirements for their trip to *Singapore*: - *Valid Passport*: Ensure that their passports are valid for at least *6 months* from the date of entry to Singapore. - *Tourist Visa*: Depending on the nationality and the current visa policies, they may or may not need a visa to enter Singapore. *Philippine passport holders* usually do not need a visa for short stays in Singapore (up to 30 days), but this can vary depending on the immigration policies at the time. - *Return Flight Ticket*: You mentioned that the return flight is already booked, which is a good requirement to show that they plan to leave Singapore. - *Accommodation Booking*: The *hotel reservation* is also helpful to show their travel plans are organized. 5. *Summary*: To answer your question directly: *Yes*, it would still be required to show *proof of financial capacity* for your parents, but since you are sponsoring the trip, you can provide *your own financial documents* (like bank statements, ITR, etc.) to demonstrate that you can afford their travel expenses. The key is to show that your parents will not be financially burdened during the trip and that their travel is fully supported. Make sure to also have *supporting documents* like *retirement papers* or *pension proof* to explain their financial situation. --- Additional Tip: If you’re still unsure or want to make sure everything is in order, you can always check with the *Philippine Immigration* or consult the *Singapore Embassy* for the most up-to-date travel requirements before you go to the airport. They may provide more specific guidance based on your parents' situation. Safe travels po, and enjoy your trip to Singapore with your parents!

Hi po! Based on our experience, we have used our cards in SG and TH on separate occasions and so far the experience is still good (no hacking).... Hope this helps! :)
good day po sir, ex abroad po aq from dubai, wala po kayang problema sa mga IO dito sa pinas? kasi sa 12 po flightqpapuntang SG, meron na din po aqng catering business na kaoopen lang.. sana masagot nyo po aq.. salamat😊
Hello po! Based on our experience and our observations, as long as you have the documents to prove your financial capacity and meron po kayong reasons to go back sa Pinas, should be ok po. You may want to bring business registration or any proof of work/source of income. Have a safe trip po! Disclaimer: Our experience may be different from yours hence it is best to still refer to proper authorities.
Sir Tanong lang po, if mg travel ka like from ph to malaysia, then malaysia to singapore, need paba arrival card po? Like malaysia to singapore?? Thank you sa sagot po
Sir hello! Susunod lang po ang mother ko na senior citizen, I’m an OFW. Unfortunately hindi sya makakasabay ng flight..ano po kya ang possible requirements na hingin ng IO sa kanya?
Hi po! Same po ng normal traveler - Passport, Hotel Accommodations, Return Ticket. It depends po if the senior citizen is working pa, hence she will need the proof of income or any connection in the PH that will make her return like business , property, family members na inaalagaan etc...In summary, mas ok po na dala nya ang mga documents and she is well aware of the potential questions ng mga IOs.

Hello po, ask ko lang po paano po kapag po unemployed ako pero I have my k1 visa for US. Magvisit lang po kami ng fiance ko for 5 days sa singapore. Paano po yung sa financial support?
Hello sir plan to visit SG next month unemployed po ako at wla dn business permit ksi online selling po ako. I already visit SG last year pro with fam pro ngaun ksama q lg friend ko.
Paano kung manggagaling ako ng New Zealand at mag me meet na kami ng Girlfriend ko sa Singapore na mangagaling ng Pinas pero ako ang magbabayad ng ticket at lahat ng gastos dahil wala siyang source. Ano po ang pwede nyo advice sa amin
Hi po! For your GF na pupunta ng Singapore, she should have proof of your relationship, guarantor letter from you stating you will finance/support her travel, and your proof of income. These documents maybe asked from her by the PH IOs before exiting PH (on top of the basic documents like passport, return ticket, accommodation, itinerary). Hope this helps :) Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

Sir tanong ko lang retired ofw n ko for 17 years at gusto ko magtravel sa sg thru travel and tours fir 5 days lang, reqyuired p rin po ba ng bank account? wala kc ko abnk account pero may sufficient fund namn ako pwede magastos sa sg. may chance po b na di n ko maoffload? marami na rin tatak ng visa exit/reentry passport ko
Hi po! Kung retired OFW po kayo at gusto mong mag-travel sa Singapore for 5 days, hindi naman required na may bank account ka, pero kailangan mong magpakita ng proof na may sapat kang pondo para sa iyong trip. Narito ang ilang tips para maiwasan ang ma-offload. Proof of funds like bank certificate...i understand po na wala kayong bank account but this is one way to prove na meron po kayong kakayanin/capacity. Other documents that may help you is mga property documents showing ownership.

Hi po! Normally we print it po and we have online copies saved on our phone ☺️ But by rule as long as ok po sa ImmigrationOfficer then it should be fine ☺️
Hi po.. may work po ako dito sa ibang bansa then plan to go to sg for vacation.. its okay po ba na ipakita ang coe and id ko sa bansang pinagtratrabahuan ko? 5days po vacay ko.. do i need to write an itenerary ko ng 5days.? Thank u po
Hello po! Hi! Yes, it’s perfectly fine to present your Certificate of Employment (COE) and ID from the country where you are currently working. These documents help establish your employment status and your intention to return to your job after your vacation in Singapore. For your 5-day vacation, while it’s not always mandatory to present a detailed itinerary, it can be helpful to prepare one. This can include: Your planned activities and places you intend to visit. Hotel bookings or the address where you'll be staying. Return flight details. Having an itinerary shows that you have a clear plan for your stay, which can be reassuring for immigration officials. It also helps demonstrate that your visit is genuinely for tourism. Enjoy your trip to Singapore, and have a great vacation! 😊 Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

Hello Po Sir, mag tour kami ng brother ko sa SG tapos wala kami hotel booking my friend po ako don need mo pa ng invitation letter nila or Name lng and Complete address nila.. Tapos po pwede po ba US money gamitin o kailangan magpa change don ng SG money? kong wala kami COE ok lng bah?
Hi po @@bonzkiesamar263! Kapag pupunta kayo sa Singapore, hindi naman required ang invitation letter kung turista lang kayo, pero makakatulong ito kung may address kayo ng kaibigan ninyo doon. Kailangan ninyong ipakita sa immigration ang inyong return ticket, address kung saan kayo titira (kahit temporary), at minsan proof of sufficient funds. Regarding sa pera, mas mainam na magpa-change kayo ng US dollars to Singapore dollars bago magbiyahe o pagdating ninyo sa Singapore. Hindi widely tinatanggap ang US dollars sa mga establishments doon. Kung wala kayong Certificate of Employment (COE), puwede pa rin naman. Basta't maipakita ninyo na may sapat kayong pera para sa inyong stay at may return ticket kayo pabalik ng Pilipinas. Safe travels po!

Hello po - as an info : If your credit card is issued by a foreign bank, there may be foreign transaction fees imposed by your card issuer. These fees are not related to the SimplyGo service but are standard fees for international transactions. Always check with your card issuer for details on any potential foreign transaction fees. Hope this helps and have a safe trip! ☺️

What if sir family kami. 1 ofw, 1 parent, 2 siblings. Okay lang ba na bank account na lang ng ofw ang ipakita if hingin nila since sponsor naman ng ofw ang singapore trip?
Hi po! Based po sa observations and understanding namen - as long as you have means to travel and support the finances (whether Bank statement / COE) ok lang po - this is for NAIA immigration officer as they normally would ask those types of questions. And sa Singapore Immigration, they are using automatic clearance machine na hence no questions to be ask as you will need your passport and boarding pass only (note : you can stil be subjected for further interview if necessary). Have a safe trip po!! :) Disclaimer : our suggestions and advises are from our own experience and may be different from you (under different circumstances) hence it is better to check this from the authority.
Hi sir. My family is planning to go to SG. Ang worry ko lang po is my father. Wala syang bank account but he is helping my mother with our small livelihood (DTI Registered only) Nakapangalan yung business namin sa mother ko lang. Will their marriage status suffice para di sya maooffload? Thank you in advance po.
Hi po! Based po sa travel trips namen with the parents, IOs normally see the total group capacity to travel and much lesser po ung set of questions na tinatanong nila. We also would go in groups - eg, the parents go together, and our family of four second. :) Disclaimer : While we share our travel advice, opinions, and recommendations based on personal experiences and insights, these may vary from your own trip due to individual factors like travel background, physical capabilities, and more.

Hi po! Basic requirements that IOs will ask - passport, return ticket, accommodation for you and the parents. If you are working po, you may be asked ng proof of income or capacity to support your travel (so kahit wala po silang work, ok lang as long as you will be the one to support them and you have your complete documents). Additionally, IOs will also need to understand your intention to go back so dapat po meron kayong maipakita na connection here in the PH like business, kapamilyang inaalagaan, or properties you need to attend.

Hi po! We have the same / similar situation where I am the one supporting the travel of my wife/family din and never pa naman po kami na-offload. The real reason po talaga here is dapat honest lang lahat ng sagot naten sa IOs and they should be able to sense na babalik po kayo parehas in the Phils in your intended date. Dapat may return ticket din and hotel accomodation. Lastly, kindly bring with you copies of your payslip, COE or bank cert para in any case may IO po na nagtanong, you can easily present it.

Hello po! For attending a convention in Singapore related to a side hustle business, it is advisable to provide a Certificate of Employment (COE) from your primary employer. The COE can serve as proof of your employment in the Philippines, indicating your ties to your home country and that you intend to return after the convention. This document can support your visa entry (if interviewed), or provide assurance to immigration officers in Singapore during your travel. Additionally, you may also prepare other supporting documents like an invitation letter from the convention organizers, proof of registration for the event, and proof of financial capacity.

Hi sir ask lang po what if po unemployed po kmi pero ung pera na binili ng ticket at gamitin namin sa tour galing at binigay ng parents ko sa abroad...
Hi po! Based on our experience, IOs will normally ask sources of income or how to fund your travel. It may help if you can establish po during your interview your intention to go back sa Pinas since wala po kayong work. Also sa interview, they may ask travel fund proof so it may help if meron po kayong amount sa bank.

Sir good afternoon. need pa ba ng "Yellow Card" from our side na ipapakita on arrival sa SG?
Hello po! Based po sa recent experience namen, no need na po. However it is good to check from time to time their immigration website for any updated requirements 😇
Hi! Were you charged 0.60 sgd everyday by your credit card provider? I read that there is an admin fee charged for everyday a credit card is used in singapore. If not then could you let me know how much of a premium was charged for using the credit card as opposed to going with cash? Thanks!
Hello po! Yes, there will be charges on top po. Please note of what is stipulated sa kanilang website :
Q: Will foreign-issued contactless credit and debit cards be accepted for use on public transport in Singapore? Are there any extra charges to use these cards?
A: Foreign-issued contactless credit and debit cards are accepted for payment on our public transport network. An administrative fee of up to $0.50 will be applicable per posting. Additionally, foreign cardholders may be subjected to other fees imposed by their issuing banks.
Hope this helps! :)
Hi po need po ba health declaration sa ICA at Egov?

Hi first time traveling to singapore with my family. We can support ourselves po but the trip will be fully sponsored by a good friend of mine. So bff lang po what kind of proof of relationship towards the sponsor po kaya ang pwedeng ipakita or hanapin ni IO? Salamat po
I think you just need to prepare your own docs since kaya naman pala. Wag nlng e sabi na sponsored pra wala na madami tanong. Just my 2 cents😊 Nag HK ako before credit cards ko lang dala kong proof of monetary capacity. No questions ask na😊
Hi Sir. Ask ko po sana kasi currently working ako dito sa SG, isasabay ko po sana kapatid ko pagbalik ko ng SG kasi mag 1 week vacation ako sa Pinas. Tapos as gift po sana sakanya dahil kaga graduate lang po ng college. Ano po kaya mga possible na tatanungin sakanya.
Hello. Wana ask lang po,
Would debit card is also accepted for public transportation and other transaction instead of cash?
Hi po! Based sa experience po namen, credit palang po natry namen but per our info, lahat po ng contactless cards (Debit or Credit) are accepted :)
Sir need ba Business permit is updated

Paano din Po ba Yung mga plant visit sa Singapore...then Sponsored Yung travel from the supplier?
Hi po! Kung ikaw ay pupunta sa Singapore para sa isang plant visit na sponsored ng supplier, kailangan mong maghanda ng tamang mga dokumento para sa immigration. Narito ang mga pangunahing dokumentong dapat mong dalhin:
### **1. Invitation Letter from the Supplier**
- Dapat nakasaad ang:
- Layunin ng pagbisita (e.g., plant visit, training, business meeting).
- Mga detalye ng kumpanya (pangalan, address, contact details).
- Mga petsa ng iyong pagbisita.
- Pahayag na sila ang mag-sponsor ng iyong travel at accommodations.
- Mas maganda kung naka-letterhead ito ng kumpanya.
### **2. Company Endorsement Letter (Optional)**
- Kung ikaw ay empleyado ng isang kumpanya sa Pilipinas, magdala ng endorsement letter na nagpapatunay na ang biyahe ay may kaugnayan sa trabaho mo.
- Dapat nakasaad ang:
- Iyong posisyon.
- Kumpirmasyon na babalik ka sa iyong trabaho pagkatapos ng biyahe.
### **3. Proof of Sponsor’s Financial Capability**
- Ang supplier ay kailangang magbigay ng patunay na kaya nilang sagutin ang iyong travel expenses:
- Bank statements (kung available).
- Flight and hotel bookings (kung pre-paid).
### **4. Detailed Itinerary**
- Dapat nakasaad ang mga aktibidad sa plant visit, mga lugar na pupuntahan, at ang schedule.
### **5. Supporting Documents for Travel**
- Valid passport (at least 6 months validity).
- Roundtrip flight ticket.
- Hotel booking confirmation (kung kasama sa sponsorship).
- Travel insurance (optional pero mas mabuting mayroon).
### **6. Employment Documents (kung applicable)**
- Certificate of Employment.
- Company ID.
### **7. Additional Documents**
- If applicable, Work Permit Exemption: Hindi mo ito karaniwang kailangan para sa plant visits dahil maikli lang ang pagbisita, pero siguruhin mo ito sa Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website sa Singapore.
### **Tips for Immigration:**
- Magdala ng kopya ng lahat ng dokumento sa hard copy at digital copy.
- Magbigay ng maayos at kumpiyansang sagot kapag tinanong sa immigration tungkol sa layunin ng iyong biyahe.
- Banggitin ang iyong sponsor at layunin ng iyong pagbisita nang malinaw.
Ang mga dokumentong ito ay makakatulong upang mapatunayan na lehitimo ang iyong pagbisita at babalik ka sa Pilipinas pagkatapos ng iyong trip.

Hi po! As of January 31, 2025, travelers entering Singapore are still required to submit the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) electronically. This submission should be completed within three days prior to your arrival in Singapore. This is accessible naman po sa kanilang immigration website 😇
You can submit the SGAC through the following official channels:
SGAC e-Service: Accessible online via the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website.
MyICA Mobile Application: Available for free on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). This app offers a profile-saving function, allowing for quicker submissions on future trips.

Hi po! Here’s a guide for your situation as a Filipino planning to travel to Singapore with your child and sister-in-law:
Key Considerations for Entry to Singapore
Singapore is generally welcoming to tourists, but immigration officers might ask for proof that you can financially support your stay. Since you don’t have a job and rely on your live-in partner, providing strong supporting documents is essential.
What You Need to Prepare
1. **Passport Validity**
- Ensure all your passports are valid for at least **6 months** beyond your intended stay in Singapore.
2. **Proof of Financial Support**
- Since your live-in partner is funding the trip, provide the following:
- **Bank Statement**: A 3-6 month history showing sufficient funds to cover your travel expenses (your account or your partner’s account if they’re supporting you).
- **Affidavit of Support and Guarantee (AOS)**: If possible, your live-in partner can execute an AOS to confirm they are covering all expenses. Notarizing this document adds credibility.
3. **Round-Trip Ticket**
- Show confirmed bookings for both arrival and departure flights. Immigration officers often check this to ensure you plan to return to the Philippines.
4. **Accommodation Details**
- Hotel booking confirmations or a letter from your host in Singapore (if staying with friends/family).
5. **Travel Itinerary**
- A clear daily itinerary of your planned activities in Singapore to show the purpose of your visit.
6. **Additional Supporting Documents**
- Birth certificate of your child to prove relationship.
- Any document showing your sister-in-law is related to you or your partner (optional but helpful).
7. **Sister-in-Law’s Financial Proof**
- Even if you’re paying for her, it’s helpful if she can also present her own bank statement or supporting documents.
---
### **Tips for Immigration in Singapore**
1. **Be Honest and Confident**
- When asked about the trip, explain that it’s for tourism and that your partner is funding it. Avoid overexplaining or showing nervousness.
2. **Stay Within Allowed Visit Period**
- Tourists are typically allowed to stay up to **30 days**. Ensure your plans fit within this timeline.
3. **Prepare to Show Supporting Documents**
- While immigration might not always ask for these, having them ready increases your chances of smooth entry.
---
### **Things to Keep in Mind**
- Traveling without a job is not necessarily a red flag as long as you can prove financial stability.
- Immigration decisions can vary case by case, so being prepared with documents reduces risks.

Sir kung ilan po b kayo katao ganun din po kylangan ng tourist pass? Gaya po smen 2adult at bata ung isa po infant 10months
Hi po! Yes sir, it needs to be per person kc considered po syang ticket for you to be able to use the public transpo....on the infant po, they are normally free (based sa previous experience namen). Kids po namen at 4 years old already required magkaroon ng KID's pass (mas mababa ung pamasahe). Hope this helps :)
Sir what if contractual/ job order sa government?
And okay lang ba bank certificate?
And.. what if po kasama ko yung brother ko who mostly paid for the trip as a birthday gift
Hi po! If you are a private contractor, normally same lang din po ang inaask the documents (bank cert, DTI, job order contract, proof of contract, etc) as if you are working as full time - not 100% sure po pag Government contractor :) Please note that this is just based on our experience or observation - better to ask the IO or DFA for any clarificatory questions para makasure po :)
pde po ba gamitin or itap ang credit card s mrt ng thrice? kasi tatlo po kami pero hubby ko lng ang me credit card. hoping for your reply. thanks.

Hello po! About sa internet connection kasi naka plan ako and locked ang sim to the network, anong best option to get internet connection sa SG? Thanks in advance!
Hi po! This is a legit question - in this case, we highly suggest you use pocket wifi (airport or via klook) as locked phones are also not possible even for e-sim. Thanks for watching po!!
Madami sa airport.sim for tourist,choose ka how many days.ung sa amin.good for 1 week.48 dollars.ganoon kamahal sim

Hello po! Thanks for watching and sa positive feedback! :)
Hello! I would like to ask lang if pa-paano po if I am a student then teacher po yung mom ko sa singapore. Then may innvitation letter naman na po ako kasama yung work, lace niya and sinabi rin o na si mama ang may sagot ng expenses ko, okay lang o ba na ganito??
Hi po! Yes, your setup should be fine as long as you prepare all the necessary documents to support your application for entry to Singapore. Since your mom works as a teacher there and will be sponsoring your expenses, here's what you need to do:
1. **Invitation Letter**: Make sure your mom's invitation letter clearly states that she is inviting you to Singapore, her address, her job details, and that she will cover all your expenses. The letter should also specify the purpose of your visit.
2. **Proof of Employment**: Your mom should provide proof of her employment in Singapore, such as a certificate of employment, work pass, or letter from her employer.
3. **Financial Proof**: Even if your mom is sponsoring you, it's good to include documents that demonstrate her ability to support you financially. Examples include bank statements or her payslips for the last few months.
4. **Your Documents**:
- A valid passport with at least six months validity.
- A completed Singapore visa application form, if you require a visa.
- Your student ID or proof of enrollment at your school, which can show that you’re a legitimate student.
5. **Additional Information**:
- Your travel itinerary and return ticket to show that you plan to leave Singapore after your visit.
- Accommodation details, whether you're staying with your mom or elsewhere.
6. **Visa Application (if needed)**: If you’re from the Philippines and traveling to Singapore for a short visit (up to 30 days), you typically don’t need a visa. However, check Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website for updated requirements.
As long as you provide all these documents and demonstrate that you have a clear purpose for visiting and the financial support to sustain your stay, your application should go smoothly.

@@WhatThe_Paulsir itatanong ko lang po yung passport id ko po kasi ginamit sa pagregister ng singtel prepaid apps, nde po ako yung ginagamit na singtel sim sa singapore andto po kasi ako sa pilipinas.. magkakaproblema po ba ko nun, na yung pinangregister po ng singtel sim ay yung number ko?
Hello po, ask ko lng po what if wala po ako work & gift lng saken ng hubby ko ung ticket to SG ksma anak ko. Need prin po ba ipakita COE ng asawa ko?
hello po sir paul planning to visit sa SG this year, about po duon sa COE wala po ako nun since unemployed po ako. Pero meron naman po akong income dahil sa mga side hustles ko + may ipon na din, Bali kasama ko po father ko sya po may sponsor sa trip namin & X ofw po sya.(pero now may work naman) wala po kayang maging problema sakin? TY PO🤍
Hi po! thanks for watching our vlog! Since you’re planning to visit Singapore and you don’t have a Certificate of Employment (COE) because you're currently unemployed, that shouldn’t be a major issue as long as you can demonstrate that you have sufficient funds for your trip. You mentioned that you have income from side hustles and savings, which is a positive point.
Your father, who is a former OFW and now employed, will be sponsoring your trip. It’s important to prepare the necessary documents, such as:
- A notarized affidavit of support and guarantee from your father.
- Proof of your father’s employment or financial capacity (such as payslips, bank statements, or employment certificate).
- Your bank statements to show your savings and financial stability.
- Other supporting documents like your father’s itinerary and hotel bookings.
These documents will help reassure immigration officials that you have the means to support yourself during your stay and that you’ll return to the Philippines after your visit.
Make sure everything is complete and well-organized to avoid any issues. Safe travels and enjoy your trip to Singapore! 🤍

Hi po. Question lang po. You mentioned at least 6 months validity for the passport. Does that mean hindi po talaga pwedeng mag travel to SG if below 6 months yung passport validity? Actually we just got our passport and were planning to fly this coming August for a leisure trip. Thank you!
Hello po! The 6-months validity rule is a guide from our DFA from their latest policy po ☺️ Congratulations po on getting your new passport and SG is a good place to travel into. Have a safe trip po! ☺️
Hello sir. Ask ko lang po kung nirerequire po ng Immigration ang NBI Clearance kung for vacation lang naman po ang travel?
Hi po! Based on our recent experience, hindi na po sya inask. But we suggest if meron naman po kayong ready documents, you may bring it with you para sure 👍☺️
hello boss ask ko lang kung ano mga need sa SG for students
hello po ask ko lng po kung may kasama po ako 3 minors, need po ba ng tig isa sila singapore tourist pass?
Hi po! No need na po mag tag-iisa as they have group submission po and you can submit it in behalf of the group ☺️
Master card lang po ba ? Or Pati visa pwede?
Both sir pwede basta may capability po ung local card nyo na magconduct ng wireless transactions ☺️
Sinu na nakatry ng gomo sim ? May singapore data roaming na nabibili sa gomo .gumana po ba if na try nyu na ?
Hi po! Thanks for the suggestion and to our next trip, let me try po ung GOMO....normally, bumibili po kami ng local sim card in the country we are in para mas matipid. But this is a nice suggestion :)
good day po. plan po namin na mag travel sa sg. may work na po ako before, pero natapos na po noong last day of the year. yung jowa ko po may travel history before, ako lang po wala pang travel history. anong way po or requirements na need po ipakita? thank you very much po 😊
Good day! Thanks for watching our vlog!
Since you mentioned that you don’t have a travel history but your partner does, there are still ways to strengthen your application for traveling to Singapore. Here's what you can prepare:
Proof of Financial Capacity: Since you no longer have a current job, showing that you have sufficient funds for the trip is essential. You can provide:
Bank statements (at least 3 to 6 months).
Proof of income from any side hustles, savings, or investments you may have.
Affidavit of Support (if applicable): If your partner will be sponsoring your trip, they can submit an affidavit of support along with their financial documents (like payslips, bank statements, or tax returns) to show they can cover your expenses during the trip.
Return Ticket and Hotel Reservations: Show proof of round-trip flight bookings and hotel reservations to demonstrate your travel plans and intention to return to the Philippines.
Cover Letter: You might consider writing a cover letter explaining your trip and why you’re traveling to Singapore. Mention any planned activities, and if possible, reference your partner's travel history, which might reassure immigration officials that you have a responsible travel plan.
Other Supporting Documents: If you have any supporting documents like previous employment records, certificates, or other ties to the Philippines (e.g., family, property), you can include them as well.
Just make sure all your documents are clear and properly organized to avoid any confusion at immigration.
Good luck with your travel plans, and safe travels! 😊

Hello po! As a Filipino traveling to Singapore for the first time with, 11-year-old child, here are the **documents and tips** you should prepare to present to the Philippine Immigration Officer (IO):
---
### **Basic Travel Documents**
1. **Valid Passports**
- Ensure both your and your child’s passports are valid for at least **6 months** beyond your travel dates.
2. **Round-Trip Tickets**
- Print your confirmed round-trip airline tickets to show your travel itinerary and return date.
3. **Accommodation Details**
- Provide proof of where you will stay in Singapore, such as:
- Hotel booking confirmation.
- If staying with a friend or relative, include their address, invitation letter (if possible), and a copy of their ID or residency permit.
4. **Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC)**
- Complete the SGAC online before your flight. This is required by Singapore for immigration clearance.
---
### **Financial Proof**
Since you're a housewife receiving remittances from your husband:
1. **Affidavit of Support and Guarantee (if possible)**
- Your husband may execute an **Affidavit of Support** to demonstrate he is financially supporting your trip.
2. **Proof of Remittance**
- Show remittance receipts or bank statements indicating regular financial support.
3. **Cash or Cards**
- Carry sufficient cash or credit cards to prove you can cover expenses during your trip.
---
### **Parental Documents**
1. **Child’s Birth Certificate**
- Bring a PSA-certified birth certificate to prove your relationship with your child.
2. **Parental Consent (if applicable)**
- If your husband is not traveling with you, Immigration may ask for a **DFA-authenticated parental consent** signed by him, permitting you to travel with your child.
---
### **Purpose of Travel**
1. **Travel Itinerary**
- Prepare a detailed itinerary (e.g., Universal Studios visit, Gardens by the Bay) to show your trip is purely for tourism.
2. **Other Supporting Documents**
- If applicable, show proof of your child’s enrollment (e.g., school ID, enrollment form) to assure you will return after the trip.
---
### **Tips for IO Interview**
1. Be calm, polite, and honest. Answer questions confidently, such as:
- **Purpose of travel**: Tourism, family bonding, or vacation.
- **Source of funds**: Explain that your husband sends remittances to support your expenses.
2. Prepare answers for questions like:
- Why are you traveling?
- How will you fund the trip?
- What does your husband do, and where is he based?
---
### **Important Reminder**
The IO assesses travelers to prevent trafficking and illegal migration. Having complete documents and clear answers will minimize delays or additional questioning.
Would you like help drafting your Affidavit of Support or other travel-related forms?

Hello, makakapasa po kaya kami sa Immigration if kasama ko po mother ko na unemployed? Sagot ko naman po mostly ng travel expenses since late birthday treat ko po sa kanya. Thank you po
lagi ko rin po kasama mother ko, mas madali po actually sa immigration pag kasama po parents :)
Hi po! We also are travelling with our parents and so far no concerns naman po as long as the basic documents are available with you (Passport, return ticket and hotel accomodation). It may help to also bring some proof of income like ITR or Payslips. Please note that the IOs may ask questions so be prepared nalang po sa itinerary and other plans. Have a safe trip po!
@anjie_min hi. By group din po ba kayo pag nasa IO na? Or individual? I'll be traveling next month with my mom who is a senior na 😊
@@GrejyMacs1986 Kasama ko si mama pero ang interview isa isa kahit katabi ko siya :) tinanong lang sa mom ko if kaano ano niya ako and if OFW siya.. sakin naman tinanong nya lang work ko.. then tatak.
basta sa interview ikaw muna mauna para if ever need ipresent bank statement maipakita mo na agad then mabilis na yan :)

Hello po! Based on our understanding and experience, as long as meron po kayong (1) valid passport with 6 months validity, (2) Hotel accommodation, (3) Return Ticket, (4) Financial Capacity documents like COE, bank statement or Business registration if with business. The question of our immigration officer will center po if you / your family member will go back to the Philippines and if maproprove po yun, for sure wala ponng magiging problem. Have a safe trip and ingat po! :)

Sir wat if ang permit namin is only brgy permit bec.our bussines is rolling business only and we only selling veggies fruits and eggs possible po ba na ma offload kami kasama po namin ang aiming 7yr old na Anak gusto LNG namin sia ipasyal dun ang matagal n namin plan na makatravel sa SG

Planning to travel po next week with my senior parents ages 71-75 both with Philippines passport ksama po ako at anak ko both holding UK passports. Any idea if this would be a problem? I’ll be paying for all the expenses. Ano kaya documents we will need? Any idea?
Hi po! Based on our experience traveling with senior citizens, wala pong maxadong tanong. Normally, it will be to confirm the date of return and place/location of stay as long as the accompanying adult can inform the IO that you will be supporting the trip po. Kindly bring with you some documents linking your relationships din to prove po na family members kayo (Birth Certificate, or any valid documents will do). Hope this helps and have a safe travel po! 👍

@ thank you for the heads up
Walang masyadong tanung lalo na pag ang kasama ai EU passport holder😊
I'm travelling po February 2025, need pa rin po ba mag show ng accomodation kahit 1 day lang po ako for ASEAN Career Fair(4th year studs/fresh grads)? May letter of invitation po ako tas mag po provide sila ng travel scholarship, ano po reasons if may possibility ma offload?
Hi po!! If you’re traveling to Singapore in February 2025 for the ASEAN Career Fair as a 4th-year student or fresh graduate, here’s what you need to prepare and consider to avoid potential offloading:
---
### **1. Accommodation Requirement**
Yes, even for a one-day trip, it’s advisable to show proof of accommodation (e.g., hotel booking or a confirmation of where you will stay). Immigration officers may ask for this to ensure you have proper arrangements, even if your trip is brief. If your sponsor or the event organizers are covering this, you can provide a document or email confirming the arrangement.
---
### **2. Supporting Documents to Bring**
Since you mentioned having a **Letter of Invitation** and a travel scholarship, these are critical to proving the legitimacy of your trip. Ensure you also have the following:
- **Letter of Invitation:** From the ASEAN Career Fair organizers, specifying your participation and the scholarship provided.
- **Flight Tickets:** Roundtrip tickets showing your return to the Philippines within a reasonable timeframe.
- **Proof of Travel Sponsorship:** A document or letter stating that the organizers will cover your travel expenses, including accommodation if applicable.
- **School ID and Enrollment Certificate (if applicable):** To show your status as a student or recent graduate.
- **Detailed Itinerary:** Mentioning your purpose, event date, and schedule.
- **Travel Insurance (Optional):** While not always required, it can strengthen your case.
---
### **3. Reasons You Might Be Offloaded**
Immigration officers in the Philippines are tasked with ensuring that travelers have legitimate purposes for leaving and that they are not vulnerable to illegal recruitment or human trafficking. Common reasons for being offloaded include:
- **Insufficient Supporting Documents:** Not providing evidence for your trip purpose (e.g., invitation letter, sponsor details).
- **No Proof of Accommodation or Return Ticket:** Immigration may doubt your intent to return to the Philippines.
- **Inconsistent Answers:** If your answers about your trip’s purpose or sponsorship are unclear or inconsistent.
- **Lack of Financial Proof:** Although your trip is sponsored, having a small amount of personal funds (e.g., for emergencies) can help show preparedness.
- **Red Flags in Travel History:** If it’s your first international trip and you lack experience or strong ties to the Philippines (e.g., school or work commitments).
---
### **Tips to Avoid Offloading**
1. **Prepare All Required Documents:** Have printed and digital copies ready.
2. **Be Honest and Confident:** Answer immigration questions clearly about your event and sponsorship.
3. **Highlight Your Return Plans:** Explain that you are a student or fresh graduate, emphasizing your ties to the Philippines (e.g., ongoing studies, family, or job opportunities).
---
With proper documentation and clear answers, the likelihood of being offloaded is significantly reduced. Have a great trip and good luck at the ASEAN Career Fair!

Heĺlo po sir , sa december mag babakasyon po sana ako sa singapore ng 1 week, isa po ang ofw dto sa kuwait , pinadaan lang po ako ng kapatid ko na ofw po sa singapore, tapos po sabay kame uuwe ng pinas
Ano po mga requirements na kakailanganin ko.
Hello po. Ask ko lang po how about if my parents don't have work since retired na but I want to treat them ng international travel and booked na rin ang return flight ticket and accommodation, would it still be required na magpakita ang parents ko ng proof of financial capacity to travel sa immigration officer?
Hello po! If you're a *Philippine passport holder* traveling to *Singapore* and planning to bring your retired parents along for the trip, it’s important to understand the immigration requirements, especially regarding *proof of financial capacity*.
Here's how it works:
1. *Who is Responsible for Proof of Financial Capacity?*
Since your parents are *retired* and no longer working, they may not have a regular source of income to show as *proof of financial capacity*. However, since you mentioned that you will be *treating them to an international trip* and you’ve already booked their *return flight ticket* and *accommodation*, *you* (as the person funding the trip) are generally the one who needs to provide proof of financial capacity to show that your parents can afford the trip.
2. *Proof of Financial Capacity - What’s Needed?*
As the sponsor or person funding the trip, you would need to demonstrate that you have enough funds to support your parents' travel. Here are some documents you can provide to the *Philippine Immigration Officer* to show proof of financial capacity:
- *Bank Certificate or Bank Statement* (showing sufficient funds to cover the trip for you and your parents)
- *Payslips or Income Tax Return (ITR)* (if applicable) showing your financial capacity to sponsor the trip
- *Credit card statements* (if applicable, showing that you can pay for the expenses)
- *Letter of Guarantee* (if you have one, stating that you will be financially supporting their trip)
3. *What Immigration Officers Look For:*
The *Philippine Immigration* typically looks for evidence that the *traveler* (or in this case, your parents) has the means to support themselves during the trip, or that they have a sponsor (you). Since you are sponsoring their travel, the officer will want to confirm that the trip is financially supported.
*For Your Retired Parents:*
- Since your parents are retired, they may not have current *employment* documents. However, you can explain to the immigration officer that you are sponsoring the trip and provide supporting documents like your *bank statements* and your *sponsorship letter*.
- You may also want to include copies of their *retirement papers or pension documents*, as it may help explain their situation.
4. *Other Travel Requirements for Your Parents:*
Aside from the proof of financial capacity, your parents may also need to meet other requirements for their trip to *Singapore*:
- *Valid Passport*: Ensure that their passports are valid for at least *6 months* from the date of entry to Singapore.
- *Tourist Visa*: Depending on the nationality and the current visa policies, they may or may not need a visa to enter Singapore. *Philippine passport holders* usually do not need a visa for short stays in Singapore (up to 30 days), but this can vary depending on the immigration policies at the time.
- *Return Flight Ticket*: You mentioned that the return flight is already booked, which is a good requirement to show that they plan to leave Singapore.
- *Accommodation Booking*: The *hotel reservation* is also helpful to show their travel plans are organized.
5. *Summary*:
To answer your question directly: *Yes*, it would still be required to show *proof of financial capacity* for your parents, but since you are sponsoring the trip, you can provide *your own financial documents* (like bank statements, ITR, etc.) to demonstrate that you can afford their travel expenses. The key is to show that your parents will not be financially burdened during the trip and that their travel is fully supported.
Make sure to also have *supporting documents* like *retirement papers* or *pension proof* to explain their financial situation.
---
Additional Tip:
If you’re still unsure or want to make sure everything is in order, you can always check with the *Philippine Immigration* or consult the *Singapore Embassy* for the most up-to-date travel requirements before you go to the airport. They may provide more specific guidance based on your parents' situation.
Safe travels po, and enjoy your trip to Singapore with your parents!

Hello po! Based on our experience and our observations, as long as you have the documents to prove your financial capacity and meron po kayong reasons to go back sa Pinas, should be ok po. You may want to bring business registration or any proof of work/source of income. Have a safe trip po!

Sir hello! Susunod lang po ang mother ko na senior citizen, I’m an OFW. Unfortunately hindi sya makakasabay ng flight..ano po kya ang possible requirements na hingin ng IO sa kanya?
Hi po! Same po ng normal traveler - Passport, Hotel Accommodations, Return Ticket. It depends po if the senior citizen is working pa, hence she will need the proof of income or any connection in the PH that will make her return like business , property, family members na inaalagaan etc...In summary, mas ok po na dala nya ang mga documents and she is well aware of the potential questions ng mga IOs.

Hi po! For your GF na pupunta ng Singapore, she should have proof of your relationship, guarantor letter from you stating you will finance/support her travel, and your proof of income. These documents maybe asked from her by the PH IOs before exiting PH (on top of the basic documents like passport, return ticket, accommodation, itinerary). Hope this helps :)

Hi po! Kung retired OFW po kayo at gusto mong mag-travel sa Singapore for 5 days, hindi naman required na may bank account ka, pero kailangan mong magpakita ng proof na may sapat kang pondo para sa iyong trip. Narito ang ilang tips para maiwasan ang ma-offload. Proof of funds like bank certificate...i understand po na wala kayong bank account but this is one way to prove na meron po kayong kakayanin/capacity. Other documents that may help you is mga property documents showing ownership. Hope this helps :)

Hello. Need po ba printed mga docs like COE, Bank Statement, etc?
Hi po! Normally we print it po and we have online copies saved on our phone ☺️ But by rule as long as ok po sa ImmigrationOfficer then it should be fine ☺️
Hi po.. may work po ako dito sa ibang bansa then plan to go to sg for vacation.. its okay po ba na ipakita ang coe and id ko sa bansang pinagtratrabahuan ko? 5days po vacay ko.. do i need to write an itenerary ko ng 5days.? Thank u po
Hello po! Hi! Yes, it’s perfectly fine to present your Certificate of Employment (COE) and ID from the country where you are currently working. These documents help establish your employment status and your intention to return to your job after your vacation in Singapore.
For your 5-day vacation, while it’s not always mandatory to present a detailed itinerary, it can be helpful to prepare one. This can include:
Your planned activities and places you intend to visit.
Hotel bookings or the address where you'll be staying.
Return flight details.
Having an itinerary shows that you have a clear plan for your stay, which can be reassuring for immigration officials. It also helps demonstrate that your visit is genuinely for tourism.
Enjoy your trip to Singapore, and have a great vacation! 😊

Hello Po Sir, mag tour kami ng brother ko sa SG tapos wala kami hotel booking my friend po ako don need mo pa ng invitation letter nila or Name lng and Complete address nila.. Tapos po pwede po ba US money gamitin o kailangan magpa change don ng SG money? kong wala kami COE ok lng bah?
Hi po @@bonzkiesamar263! Kapag pupunta kayo sa Singapore, hindi naman required ang invitation letter kung turista lang kayo, pero makakatulong ito kung may address kayo ng kaibigan ninyo doon. Kailangan ninyong ipakita sa immigration ang inyong return ticket, address kung saan kayo titira (kahit temporary), at minsan proof of sufficient funds.
Regarding sa pera, mas mainam na magpa-change kayo ng US dollars to Singapore dollars bago magbiyahe o pagdating ninyo sa Singapore. Hindi widely tinatanggap ang US dollars sa mga establishments doon.
Kung wala kayong Certificate of Employment (COE), puwede pa rin naman. Basta't maipakita ninyo na may sapat kayong pera para sa inyong stay at may return ticket kayo pabalik ng Pilipinas. Safe travels po!

Hi Sir, pag Credit Card po ba sa MRT as is lang ang nabawas converted sa peso o may additional na po?
Hello po - as an info : If your credit card is issued by a foreign bank, there may be foreign transaction fees imposed by your card issuer. These fees are not related to the SimplyGo service but are standard fees for international transactions. Always check with your card issuer for details on any potential foreign transaction fees.
Hope this helps and have a safe trip! ☺️

Hi po and thanks for watching our vlog. Yes, the card that you will use should be 1-is to-1 since each passenger will tap at the entrance and upon exit - just like how your usual train ticket po 😇
Hello, need pa ba sir ung covid test or vaccine card?
Hi po! No need na po based on our experience ☺️
@@WhatThe_Paul thanks! Laking tulong salamat
Anytime po ☺️
What if sir family kami. 1 ofw, 1 parent, 2 siblings. Okay lang ba na bank account na lang ng ofw ang ipakita if hingin nila since sponsor naman ng ofw ang singapore trip?
Hi po! Based po sa observations and understanding namen - as long as you have means to travel and support the finances (whether Bank statement / COE) ok lang po - this is for NAIA immigration officer as they normally would ask those types of questions. And sa Singapore Immigration, they are using automatic clearance machine na hence no questions to be ask as you will need your passport and boarding pass only (note : you can stil be subjected for further interview if necessary). Have a safe trip po!! :)

@@WhatThe_Paul salamat po sa response.
Hi sir. My family is planning to go to SG. Ang worry ko lang po is my father. Wala syang bank account but he is helping my mother with our small livelihood (DTI Registered only) Nakapangalan yung business namin sa mother ko lang. Will their marriage status suffice para di sya maooffload? Thank you in advance po.
Hi po! Based po sa travel trips namen with the parents, IOs normally see the total group capacity to travel and much lesser po ung set of questions na tinatanong nila. We also would go in groups - eg, the parents go together, and our family of four second. :)

@@WhatThe_Paul thank you so much sir🥰
Sir pano if gusto ko lang e travel ang family ko like my parents wla nmn clang trabaho?
Hi po! Basic requirements that IOs will ask - passport, return ticket, accommodation for you and the parents. If you are working po, you may be asked ng proof of income or capacity to support your travel (so kahit wala po silang work, ok lang as long as you will be the one to support them and you have your complete documents). Additionally, IOs will also need to understand your intention to go back so dapat po meron kayong maipakita na connection here in the PH like business, kapamilyang inaalagaan, or properties you need to attend. Hope this helps po :)

What if ako po government employee then mama ko unemployed. Hahanapan pa ba siya ng AOS? And pwede ba kame sabay sa IO nalang?
Sir for example ako lang po ang working dito sa pinas then my wife is full time housewife, di po ba kami ma o offload, given na kaya naming i finance ang stay namin sa sg? O ano po ba ang pwedeng i provide para sa wife ko? Thanks and God bless
Hi po! We have the same / similar situation where I am the one supporting the travel of my wife/family din and never pa naman po kami na-offload. The real reason po talaga here is dapat honest lang lahat ng sagot naten sa IOs and they should be able to sense na babalik po kayo parehas in the Phils in your intended date. Dapat may return ticket din and hotel accomodation. Lastly, kindly bring with you copies of your payslip, COE or bank cert para in any case may IO po na nagtanong, you can easily present it. Have a safe trip!

Hi sir travel insurance hinahanap pa pp ng io? Thanks
Hello po! Based on our recent trips, hindi na po hinanap 👍👍👍
1st time n mgtravel s SG to attend convention sa side hussle business so mas ok mgprovide ng coe?
Hello po! For attending a convention in Singapore related to a side hustle business, it is advisable to provide a Certificate of Employment (COE) from your primary employer. The COE can serve as proof of your employment in the Philippines, indicating your ties to your home country and that you intend to return after the convention. This document can support your visa entry (if interviewed), or provide assurance to immigration officers in Singapore during your travel. Additionally, you may also prepare other supporting documents like an invitation letter from the convention organizers, proof of registration for the event, and proof of financial capacity. Hope this helps po :)

@WhatThe_Paul ok po thanks sa info
Thanks so much po and have a safe trip soon!! 🙌😇
Pwede ba isang credit card lang gagamitin namin family sa MRT?
Hi po! Sadly hindi po. One credit card per person lang po ☺️
Hi sir ask lang po what if po unemployed po kmi pero ung pera na binili ng ticket at gamitin namin sa tour galing at binigay ng parents ko sa abroad...
Hi po! Based on our experience, IOs will normally ask sources of income or how to fund your travel. It may help if you can establish po during your interview your intention to go back sa Pinas since wala po kayong work. Also sa interview, they may ask travel fund proof so it may help if meron po kayong amount sa bank. Hope this helps 👍👍👍
