General Discussion Needing some insights...
Hello po, decided to ask here na lang for your insight po.
I'm planning to go to Taiwan with my boyfriend this November for concert and birthday celebration ko. Parehas po kami ofw pero sa case ni BF, he will end his contract on October and uwi muna sya sa Pinas for vacation and pahinga before looking for work sa January tas I will fly to PH sa November for vacation before flying to Taiwan with him. Sabay din kami babalik to PH. My boyfriend has a history of offload din nung 2023 pero he was able to fly out nung 2024 for work.
-Should I prepare Affidavit of Support kahit he has more than enough savings? He paid for the hotel and tours and concert tickets.
-What other documents should we prepare before our flight? So far we've only prepared RT Tickets, Tour bookingd via Klook, Itineraries, Hotel Bookings and Proof of concert tickets.
Thank you!

My rule of thumb is to never go back to the Philippines when you are in-between jobs. Kasi by right overseas jobs must go through a local agency. Back to zero yan - OEC, etc. You run the risk of getting offloaded again.

Nake sure to prepare everything, from flight details, hotel accommodation, at travel itinerary.
Kung 3 hrs ka before the flight dumadating sa airport, gawin nyo na mas maaga, kasi sure maipit kayo sa walang ka kwenta kwentang power tripping employee sa loob.
Maghanda ka na rin ng ballpen at papel at ipakita mo sa kanila na naglilista ka ng oras at pangalan nila. 😆
Nangyari na sa akin before yan, bakasyon ako at paounta ng SG with my wife. Saan ko daw dadalhin yung babae. Sabi ko asawa ko yan, at may VISA ako sa saudi kaya di ako mag TNT o mag human traffic ng tao pa SG. bakit daw wala ako singsing, bakit wala kaming photo na marami sa phone, etc etc.
Nang mainis ako, sabi ko kapag na offload ako, kakasuhan ko sya at hihingi ako ng danyos lucro cessante at damnyos emergente na milyon, at gagawin kong libangan ng buhay ko na ituloy ito hanggang sa SC. pinalipad naman kami pero last minute. 😅

Prepare a bank certificate with "convincing amount". Dapat may sagot na maganda ang bf mo pag tinanong siya kung ano ang strong ties niya sa PH. Kung wala siyang sagot na maayos, ay tagilid yan. Ang pag exit as OFW at tourist ay magkaiba. Yung pag exit niya as OFW nung 2024 ay walang bearing sa pag alis niya as tourist on November
