Does ECC Customs Clearance in Philippines Affect Next Entry

Recently, a friend left a private message to Xiaobian, asking if he was asked to do ecc customs clearance when he returned home because he had lived in the Philippines for more than six months, and would it affect his next entry after doing ECC customs clearance? For this friend's question, EasyGo Ease Travel International is here to answer today, hoping to help you.

What is ECC Customs Clearance

ECC is actually aimed at customs clearance in the Philippines for more than half a year. Simply put, it provides a certificate to the Philippine government that you have not had any criminal record in the Philippines and no one has reported you in the past six months. This is also a necessary business for the Philippine government to prevent foreign personnel from committing crimes in the territory.

Therefore, as long as you have lived in the Philippines for more than six months, you need to apply for ECC when you return to China. If you do not apply, you will not be able to board the plane and you will face the risk of being blacklisted. However, even if you have gone through ECC customs clearance and exit, you will not be affected by ECC when you want to enter the Philippines. You only need to follow the normal entry procedures.

What else needs ECC customs clearance

Customs clearance mainly includes the following situations:

1. Foreigners who have applied for visa reduction in the Philippines

2. Foreigners who have stayed in the Philippines for more than six months with a tourist visa or have expired for more than two years.

3. Temporary visitor visa holders with expulsion orders

4. Persons who currently hold valid immigrant or non-immigrant visas but plan to lower their visas and leave permanently

5. Honest seafarers officially approved by the Immigration Bureau and have stayed in the Philippines for 30 days or more.
