Requirements and Fees for Reduced Travel Tax for OFW Dependents







If you will travel anywhere in the world from the Philippines, you must be aware about the travel tax that you need to settle before your flight.

 What is a travel tax?
According to TIEZA ( Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority), it is a levy imposed by the Philippine government on individuals who are leaving the Philippines, as provided for by Presidential Decree (PD) 1183. 

 A full travel tax for first class passenger is PhP2,700.00 and PhP1,620.00 for economy class. For an average Filipino like me, it’s quite pricey. Overseas Filipino Workers, diplomats and airline crew members are exempted from paying travel tax before but now, travel tax for OFWs are included in their air ticket prize and can be refunded later at the refund counter at NAIA.

However, OFW dependents can apply for  standard reduced travel tax. Children or Minors from 2 years and one (1) day to 12th birthday on date of travel.

 Accredited Filipino journalist whose travel is in pursuit of journalistic assignment and 

those authorized by the President of the Republic of the Philippines for reasons of national interest, are also entitled to avail the reduced travel tax.
