Discussing balikbayan privilege in the Philippines, find answers about exit requirements and visas relevant for foreign spouses. Ideal for those planning travel.

Hi...I arrived in the Philippines in October 2019 with my Philippine wife....we asked for and was granted a balikbayan privilege.聽 I plan to return to the UK before the balikbayan expires on October 21dt this year....my question is.聽 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.
