How to Get the Affidavit of Support?
To know more about documents, processes, applications, or general information related to the Affidavit of Support and Guarantee for Filipino citizens traveling to Dubai, kindly contact the Philippines Embassy or Consulate located in the United Arab Emirates. We are only providing general information related to documents and processes, but the sponsor of a relative has to personally apply by visiting the Philippine consulate or embassy in the UAE. Any tampered-with or suspected document submission can be prosecuted; hence, we advise applying with original documents.
How to avoid offloading in Philippines?
There is no such thing as an "offload policy" in the Philippines, but to ensure people's safety and stop human trafficking, Philippine airport immigration is strict about the documentation of visitors. The tourist visa holders must prove their financial capability for the trip, take proper details of the visa and full details of the sponsor, and submit an affidavit of support if invited by relatives overseas.
