DESCRIPTION

The Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines inspects all international-bound passengers, in line with the Bureau’s mandate under the Anti-Human Trafficking Law of 2003 (R.A. 9233) and the Amended Migrant Workers’ Act of 2004 (R.A. 10022), to stop human trafficking and illegal recruitment. At the airport’s immigration counter, therefore, a Filipino tourist bound for Singapore may be asked by the Immigration Officer to produce an “invitation letter”, a document made by a Filipino based in Singapore that invites a Filipino relative (the passenger) to Singapore for a visit.

The Bureau of Immigration requires that this document, in the form of an affidavit of support or guarantee, be authenticated at the Philippine Embassy in Singapore.

In other words, the concern of the tourist about being able to leave the Philippines is decided upon exclusively by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration, and not by the Embassy. The role of the Embassy is simply to authenticate the document, as this is commonly the only form that is accepted by the Bureau of  Immigration. The so-called “invitation letter” is just another affidavit issued by an Embassy.
