when we took our trip to Hong Kong last week my GF had to pay 1620p for exit fee + 550p airport fee.. i just had to pay the 550p...it adds some time for standing in TWO lines to get the exit fee and she wont get a boarding pass until its done , so plan accordingly

But that's the airport fee.

 

 

How much is the Philippine Travel Tax? 
For adult passengers, the travel tax is PHP1,620 (Business and Economy class) and PHP810 for children (2-11 years). 

I bought my ticket from your website.  Is travel tax already included in the total amount paid? 
No. Philippine Travel Tax is not included in the total fare quoted online.  For international journeys, Philippine travel tax, if applicable, shall be collected by the Philippine Tourism Authority at Philippine Airports. 

Travel tax shall be levied on (a) all citizens of the Philippines; (b) permanent resident aliens; and © non-immigrant aliens who have stayed in the Philippines for more than one (1) year, who are leaving the country. 

If you are exempted from paying the Philippine Travel Tax or entitled to a reduced travel tax, please secure applicable certificates such as follows, from Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA), Department of Tourism (DOT) before making reservations: 

• Tax Exemption Certificate (TEC) if you are exempted from paying the Philippine Travel Tax

• Reduced Travel Tax Certificate (RTTC) if you are qualified for a reduced Philippine Travel Tax and

• Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) if you are an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW)

When I first looked at moving to the Philippines, I started looking into and gathering all the information I could find and with references to back it all...  I had enough not for just a book but an entire encyclopedia!!!  Now in the last few months, everything seems to have changed and I don't know what is current and what isn't any more!!!

 

Anybody know what fees, taxes and forms are required if I revert to using a sub instead of flying in and out?

 

:mocking:

Around the middle of last year, the government issued an instruction to the airlines that they needed to include all charges - including PTT and Terminal Fees - in their tickets. If I recall correctly, the airlines have twelve months to implement this fully but I do know that some have made a start - certain PAL domestic routes now include the Terminal Fees.

 

Brock: it may be worth your while booking Nesa's trip at a KLM office, in Amsterdam say, rather than make an online reservation as these extra charges are more likely to be included.

Almost certainly Pilotage and Port Dues :)

Train, tram, subway and bus connections are also close-by to get you anywhere in Amsterdam and Holland where you want.

From the wheel cabin you can enjoy the sun and marvel at the terrific scenery the Amstel has to offer: beautifully restored houses on the side, ships that pass along quietly, maybe even a lone rowing boat.

That is so cool! And practical too, given that western Europe has possibly seen more rainfall over the last two months than falls in the Philippines in a year! You'll simply rise above it!!
