My wife and I arrived in Cebu last Sunday night, 01 OCT 2023. A nice lady looked at our QR codes as we walked toward the immigration booth. After arriving at the booth, I said, "returning Balikbayans." The officer looked at my wife's expired Philippines passport, took a photo of my wife, our daughter, and me, and stamped our U.S. passports on page 8 with a stamp good for one year. He said, "Have a good night," and that was it. When we flew to Davao the next day, no one asked about the QR codes because internal flights don't require them.
Thank you for your very important information.
Wow! Thank you for this information!
Glad it was helpful!
My dear friend It's Saturday weekend today. I wish you a happy and enjoyable weekend
Thank you 😊
Learned something new today.
Thanks for watching 😃.
Is there a chance na ma-deny ka if you try to avail Balikabayan Visa? or tanggap na agad if I have my Old PH passport and birth certificate? Thank you!
So, makukuha lang po yung balikbayan visa upon arrival sa philippine airport as long as may dalang requirements?
Question , but first, this is fantastic information. Thank you for all your videos, we've learned so much.
Regarding this condition: The term “balikbayan” shall mean a Filipino citizen who has been continuously out of the Philippines for a period of at least one (1) year
I am a Canadian citizen and my wife is a Philippine citizen and has permanent residence in Canada.
We have been out of the Philippines for more then 1 year. We plan on returning for approximately 4 months , so my understanding is that when traveling together, we can enter as Balikbayan and there would be no need for me to get tourist visa extensions, etc ( Canadians are initially allowed 30 day visa free, then I need to get an initial 1 month, then a 2 or 6 month extension which is both troublesome and costly )
The question based on the condition above, is after our 4 month visit to the Philippines, we would return to Canada for about 8 months, then travel back again to the Philippines, however this time around, my wide would not have continuously been out of the Philippines for at least 1 year
How does Balikbayan work in this scenario? Do we not qualify in future years unless we stay out of the Philippines for at least 1 year?
I know I can get a 13A spousal visa, but we currently have no plans to reside full time in the Philippines, so Balikbayan seems to make more sense , unless this 1 year condition would cause me not to qualify.
Note that I would always be traveling with her
Any information would be extremely helpful. I have tried to ask 2 different embassies and consulates and they just referred me to the Balikbayan Act to read, but didn't answer the specific question when I asked for clarity
Thank you and please keep producing your amazing videos!
This is good imformation
Thank you for watching!
Hello po, I am currently a US citizen. I am flying to the Philippines this October and I bought a one way ticket. Will they let me in the country without a return ticket? because I recently found out about the “no return ticket no entry” policy after purchasing my plane ticket. If so can I apply for the balikbayan program under the“former filipino” category? Also will I be able to apply dual citizenship in the Philippines? Thank you.
Kelangan ba talaga ng return ticket? Sa website kc ang sabi hnd kelangan ng return ticket.
Hi maam jocelyn. I am a balikbayan married to with saudi passport. I want to go for vacation to ph this dec and when i purchase the thicket they told me to get visa first is it really? Because i went there many times and the immigration upon arrival gives me free visa for a year. Thanks and God bless.
Balikbayan does not need to present a return ticket simply because he can stay up to one year.
Is the Balikbayan visa still available in 2024? My gf is in Phillipines and I'm in Colombia, im planning to go there as a tourist get marry, have the marriage certificate, then we both are going to Hong Kong for our honey moon so once we are back we request in the immigration the Balikbayan visa?
Hello po, where do I avail my Balikbayan privilege? sa nAIA airport po ba? and who do I ask po?
im currently US citizen and booked a flight to the philippines this coming november 2022 for 38 days in the philippines do i need to apply for balikbayan privilege (i have my birth certificate, old passport and naturalization certificate)
Hello po, I just wanted to clarify that for former Filipino citizens ang kaylangan lang po ay our old Philippine passport, current passport, and birth certificate? Since her kid was born in the states that’s ok also?
Also, is a 14 day quarantine still necessary po? Thank you.
Hello. Yes, that is correct. 14 day quarantine is also necessary.
Is US part OF BALIKBAYAN VISA? I'm a former Filipino citizen and
I'm planning to travel with my 18months old foreign daughter
how do I apply for a balikbayan visa if I have an old expired Philippines passport and a current US passport? where do I apply? Do I just go to the airport with my passports and my flight ticket? Thank you in advance...
Can you work in the Philippines legally as a foreign spouse if you enter under the balikbayan privilege.
So we have to travel together pala. I was thinking of me and Burjok can go home first then after two wks uwi din si Billy. Di pala pwede. Uwi tayo this summer gang. Two months vacation ng mga bata.
Hello. Uwi ba kayo? Dito muna ako US. Sabihan mo ako kung matuloy kayo.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 maybe this summer gang. Pa vaccine muna kami.
hello po, my husband is dual citizen who will be traveling with me from US to PI. i was born in PI and I have my birth cert and expired PHil passport. Confirming lang po that I can avail of the balikbayan visa and can stay up to a year.
I have been out in the philippines for more than 2 years, but still holding a phil passport, am i considered a balikbayan?
Hi question, is there any documents beside your passport you need to present at your departure airport or any other airport in your route to the Philippines for the balikbayan visa?
Hello. If you are a former Filipino, you need to bring both your old PH passport and foreign passport.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Is a PH Birth Certificate accepted instead of PH passport? Thanks so much!!
Hi my husband is born and raised in the Philippines and was a filipino citizen, He recently was Naturalized in the States, and now is a US. Citizen, does he fall under the balikbayan program? and does this mean he does not require a visa to enter the philippines? My daughter and I are both dual-filipinos and have PSA birth-certificates and we currently live here in the philippines, and my husband would like to visit us. he will be traveling alone
Hello. He is considered a former Filipino. He is entitled to the balikbayan visa. He needs to bring an old passport or birth certificate and US passport. He does not require a pre-approved visa to travel.
Hi! So i can just show up in the airport with my return ticket, old philippine passport, birth certificate and certificate of naturalization? No other requirements? Thanks!
...and your filipina spouse, dont firget about her! Lol.
Gusto kulang malaman kong powdi mag balikbayan yong Europa passport plas old philippines passport salamat
Where can you apply for this program?
Former filipino citizen do they need to apply for an entry visa if they are staying only less than 30 days in the philippines?
Hello. No need to apply for entry visa for former Filipino because you are entitled to visa free privilege of staying in Philippines up to one year.
Thank you for the info👍🏼
Im a us citizen now and i still have my old philippine passport and birth certificate from philippines do i still need to get a visa to go to the philippines? Thank you 🙏
Hello. You don't need an entry visa. Just bring old PH passport and birth certificate since you still have them and your US passport. Upon arrival in PH, tell immigration you are availing of the balikbayan visa (for one year stay).
Do I need to quarantine as a Balikbayan VISA holder?
Hello. Yes, quarantine is required for all passengers.
Hello po,
I am a non-dual US-born citizen, but obtained a valid Philippine passport because my parents were Philippine citizens at the time of my birth.
I will not be traveling with my parents, who are former Filipino citizens.
As a Philippines passport holder, but not a former Filipino citizen, am I allowed to fly alone to the Philippines?
Hello. Yes, you can travel alone being a Filipino and for possessing a valid PH passport.
Hello, what if i was born in US po but my parents are both filipino and i only have us passport po. Do i still need a visa to travel to the Philippines or should i just bring my birth certificate indicating that my parents are both filipino po.? Thank you
^but i will be traveling with my sister who is green card holder.
Hello. Did your parents reported your birth at the Philippine Consulate abroad? If yes, you can secure a Philippine passport by virtue of Philippine derivative citizenship. If no, you are considered a foreign national and need an entry visa.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 no they did not reported. Where can i get a visa under balikbayan program? Can i request to the Philippines airport once i arrive? Thank you for your response
Paano po mag apply ng Balikbayan Visa or sasabihin lang ba sa port of entry mag avail ka?
Hello. Just bring your old PH passport or birth certificate and foreign passport and inform immigration you wanted to avail of balikbayan visa.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 hi mam kng cebu mactan airport poba pwede din don mg avail ng balikbayan vissa?
Or sa Manila Airport lng?
I dont have an old Philippine passport . Im a naturalized US citizen. And now I overstayed since January 2021 due to medical reason. How do I contact BI in Manila?
Hello. Here is the link to the Bureau of Immigration. Scroll down and you will see the phone numbers and email address:

Thank you very much for the info!! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi does indian come in the balibanyan privilege of free to enter Philippines
I am told you don’t need a return ticket because it’s a one year visa and that’s on the embassy website
Hello. You have the choice of having only one way ticket but under Executive Order 408, a return ticket is required. You can book a round trip ticket but cancel the return ticket after clearing immigration and completing quarantine.
Under 408 it doesn’t say that you need return tickets I just read it again and I have called them to and the airport sis, hope this is right we leave this weekend coming anyway take care
Hello. The Bureau of Immigration clarified EO 408 rule requiring the return ticket. The PH embassies abroad is under the Department of Foreign Affairs while the port of entries are manned by Bureau of Immigration personnel. The BI has a Facebook page where they post official announcements. The EO clarification requiring return ticket is on their page.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 That's for 30 day visa and they are not giving them out right now..
That is correct. They are not giving out the 30 day visa.
pwede ba ako umuwi. im japanese citizen na pero ang tatak ko lagi sa passport ko is one year kasi kada uwi ko balikbayan sinasabi ko. makakauwi padn ba ako mag isa sa pinas kahit wala ako kasama ? japanese passport wtih previously 1year stamp on my passport lang meron ako?
Hello. You are considered former Filipino. Pwede kang umuwi and when you arrive, tell immigration you are availing of the balikbayan visa. Bring your Japanese passport AND old PH passport or PH birth certificate. You need proof that you are former Filipino and also need document regarding change of last name if married.
Hi po qualified po ba ako for balikbayan program. I am single & former filipino citizen with US foreign passport. I don't have my philippine passport but I do have my original birth certificate with me. Last travel ko po 2019 July.. na cancelled last year april2020 due to pandemic.. Am I still qualified po ba?. Planning to visit my fiancé next month? Thank you po..
Hello. Balikbayans traveling to the Philippines who are former Filipinos are advised to declare before the Philippine Immigration Officer at the port of entry that they are availing of the privilege and have to present either their old Philippine passport or authentic Philippine birth certificate as proof of their former Philippine citizenship.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 thank you & God Bless
what if a us citizen (former filipino) traveling by itself but the wife and the children are in the philippines can they avail for the balikbayan visa?
Hi is uae in the list of free country visa?
Hello. Yes, UAE is in the list of visa free country.
Hello. Yes, all former Filipinos are entitled to balikbayan visa regardless if they are traveling alone or with a spouse or wherever the spouse or children may be.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 thank you 😊
Hi. Great info! I am a former Filipino too, but is a Canadian citizen now, and I’m planning to go to the Philippines soon.
So just to clarify, I don’t need to get a visa to stay in the Philippines for a couple of months, I just need to get a balikbayan visa stamp upon arrival at NAIA, is that right? And can I also get it even if I’m travelling alone?
And one more question I really hope you’d answer too, as I am a bit unsure- let’s say I’m planning to stay in the PH for a couple of months, let’s say 4, do I book my flight ticket for the whole 4 months even before getting to the Philippines to get the balikbayan visa stamp? I have read some infos on the internet that the allowed stay in the PH without visa is just 30 days. So I am thinking, if I am eligible to get the balikbayan visa as I am a former Filipino, do I book the whole 4 months already? Hoping for your reply as it’s my first time going back home. Thank you so much.
Hello. If you are a former Filipino, you need an old PH passport and Canadian passport or birth certificate proving you are former Filipino. When you arrive in Manila, tell the immigration that you are availing of the balikbayan visa. You have up to one year to stay in Philippines.
Not sure if you've traveled yet, but when you arrive at the airport, go through the Philippine national line and not the Foreign line. This is what we do. You'll get the BB vis and stamp.
@@RonKris hi, when you're travelling with a foreign spouse/kid , do you also go to the PH national line with them to avail and get the BB stamp? or to the foreign national line?
@@jrmikusova If you are your spouse is PH national, go to the PH line. Even if you are dual, go to the PH national line WITH your spouse and kids. Even if you have an expired PH passport take it too along with your dual citizenship paperwork.
I hope this is clear. You or your spouse must be dual or PH citizens. Do not go to the tourist line. All of you walk up together and the PH citizens is first, then explain you want the bb stamp on your family passports.
@@RonKris hey, thanks for replying! i'm still a PH citizen but my spouse and child are both foreign nationals. Should we still all go to the PH national line?
Hi gwapa pwd paska pH 9 g visa
Hello. It looks like 9g visa is not yet allowed.
Can you explain more in depth and not just read out from the regulation book and the legal paragraph ? Your information is really shallow.
