Affidavit of Support and Guarantee

The Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration (BI) inspects all international-bound passengers to stop human trafficking and illegal recruitment, in line with its mandate under the Anti-Human Trafficking Law of 2003 (R.A. 9233) and the Amended Migrant Workers’ Act of 2004 (R.A. 10022).

Allowing a Filipino tourist to depart from the Philippines is under the authority of port officials of the Bureau of Immigration, and not of the Embassy. The only role of the Embassy is to authenticate Affidavit of Guarantee and Support upon submission of the requirements.
