immigration in Manilla by Graham H
I have a friend from Mindanao. Juliet Damalerio who was denied a boarding pass to Bangkok Thailand, despite fulfilling all the requirements necessary by Phillipino Immigration laws. They said she needed a guarantor from the Phillipines with a signed ...
The best advice you can get is what the last person gave you. Fly to Manila, take her back. The chances of blocking her are 5%, regardless of all thosse documents and proof of enough money, etc. Philippine immigration is mainly interested in YOU and ... Read More
Will They or Won't They? by thailen
I'm planning to send some vitamins(sealed in 5 small plastic bottles) from the U.S. to Manila. According to UPS shipping guidelines, shipments of vitamins(like many other products) to the Philippines are subject to clearance from the Food and ...
Thanks to you both! Read More

I spend around $25 for 5 bottles of 120 sofgels each of Omega 3 Fish Oil(1000 mg). I had earlier priced a similar item - fish oil - at an SM Mall and it said 60- sofgels for 1250 pesos, so maybe it's even more than 60,000 pesos for the same ... Read More

That's a great idea! Unfortunately, I live in Thailand. My GF visits the Philippines, so my plan is to send it to her family's home and have her bring it when she comes back. I DO bring lots of vitamins with me to Thailand, because Thailand ... Read More

You may not believe my ratio of 1,000 vs 60,000, but Puritan Pride sells 5 bottles(buy 2, get 3 free) with free shipping(in the U.S.), so maybe it's 1,000 to 50,000. But it's a helluva jump! Read More

Of course No.2 won't work, because the reason I'm sending vitamins from the U.S. to the Philippines is precisely because the cost there is like 1000 pesos(in the U.S.) vs 60,000 pesos in the Philippines. I kid you not; I priced the same ... Read More

If they check and decide to tax it, depending on the amount of the import tax, I may just let it sit in immigration... Read More

The UPS list(go to their website) covers just about any and every product you can mention(by category - fish - not trout,catfish,tuna, etc) So it lists vitamins period. I'm sending vitamins. If they are suspicious, they can open each of the 5 ... Read More

Letter of Invitation to visit Thailand by thailen
I have been asked by a filipina friend to write a letter of invitation. She is coming early in September. To whom is the letter addressed? What information, in addition to the dates she'll be here and my address, should the letter include?
She's coming to Thailand from the Philippines. But you're suggesting the letter should be addressed to Philippine Immigration? She would be staying with me, not at a hotel. She has money and has been to Thailand many times. She won't ... Read More

Philippines Stopping Filipinas from Leaving As A Tourist? by thailen
I have a filipina girlfriend who I invited to live with me in Thailand. She is hearing that Thailand immigration is stopping filipinos at the Bangkok airport for not having enugh thai money, for not having a valid reason to come in, etc., even ...
First of all, when I say most filipinas who link up with Western men help the economy, it's because we support her in Thailand and her family in the Philippines. That's what I mean when I say one less muth(for the government) to feed. It often means ... Read More

CEC is just one of many hoops they use to deny leaving the country. It's all a crock of crap(from personal and reported experience of friends). The bottom line is: either they decide to let you go or not to let you go. Any or no excuse is used, no ... Read More
