Hi...I arrived in the Philippines in October 2019 with my Philippine wife....we asked for and was granted a balikbayan privilege. I plan to return to the UK before the balikbayan expires on October 21dt this year....my question is. Am I correct in thinking I DO NOT need an exit certificate to leave the country?

I think if you are here for more than 6 months, you have to have an NBI clearance to leave.
