Invitation Letter

The Philippine Bureau of Immigration inspects all international-bound passengers under R.A. 9233 and R.A. 10022 to prevent human trafficking and illegal recruitment. A Filipino tourist to Singapore may be asked to present an invitation letter from a Filipino in Singapore.
This letter, in the form of an Affidavit of Support or Guarantee (ASOG/ASG), must be authenticated at the Philippine Embassy in Singapore, as required by the Bureau of Immigration and the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an invitation letter for a relative visiting Singapore?

If you are inviting a Filipino relative (up to the fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity), an invitation letter may be required. Please note that the Embassy only authenticates the affidavit of support; the final decision rests with the Bureau of Immigration.

Will an invitation letter guarantee my relative won’t be offloaded?

No, Immigration Officers assess various factors, including the traveler’s financial capacity. The invitation letter is only one of several possible requirements and may not always be requested.

My relative was offloaded despite the invitation letter. What can I do?

Concerns regarding offloading should be addressed directly to the Bureau of Immigration, as the Embassy’s role is limited to document authentication. If possible, kindly take note of the Immigration Officer’s name and any additional documents requested.

How can I ensure my relative won’t be offloaded?

Only the Bureau of Immigration can provide accurate guidance on travel requirements. You may contact them through the contact details available on their official website.

How do I apply for an invitation letter at the Embassy?

If you have confirmed that an invitation letter is needed, please book an appointment through the Embassy’s official website and select Affidavit. An email confirmation with the list of requirements will be sent to you.

Can I use one invitation letter for several relatives?

Yes, it is possible to include multiple invitees in a single affidavit. The Embassy has not received reports of issues arising from such arrangements.

I’m a Singaporean/foreigner inviting Filipino friends. Can I apply?

Yes. Non-Filipino nationals may apply for the invitation letter at the Embassy. Please be advised that the Bureau of Immigration may still require additional documents from the invitee, such as proof of financial capability.

Please read the Guidelines for further details.

I’m a Filipino household service worker. What do I need?
