Philippine Airports – Terminal Fee, Travel Tax & Flights Guide
Are you traveling in the Philippines or abroad? There are some important things to know before you fly.
This detailed guide answers frequently asked questions about Philippine airports and flights.
Philippine terminal fee + travel tax
Here’s a lowdown on fees that you might have to pay at airports in the Philippines. Followed by helpful tips about individual airports.
What is the terminal fee? Do I need to pay at the airport?
You need not worry about the terminal fee if you are arriving at any airport in the Philippines. The terminal fee should already be included in the flight ticket price upon booking for both domestic and international flights.
The airport terminal fee or “Philippine passenger service charge” (DPSC) is an airport tax/exit fee for passengers departing from airports in the Philippines. Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are exempted from paying the terminal fee. The terminal fee ranges from P50 to P220 per person for domestic flights or P600 to P1,135 per person for international flights.
What is PH Travel Tax?
The Philippine travel tax is a fee for Filipinos traveling abroad. The full travel tax is P1,620 for passengers on economy class plane tickets and P2,700 when flying first class. You need not worry about the travel tax if you’re a foreigner traveling in the Philippines on a short visit or simply transiting as this fee only applies to citizens of the Philippines, permanent resident aliens, and non-immigrant aliens who have stayed in the Philippines for a period of not less than one year. You can check TIEZA’s website for the full details on PH travel tax exemptions and reduced fees.
PH Travel Tax Online Payment
Selected airlines including Cebu Pacific offer the option of paying the Philippine Travel Tax online on their website. This is highly recommended if you want to skip lining up at the airport. You can also pay the travel tax online on the TIEZA Online Travel Tax Payment System (OTTPS) website.

Before you go
How do I know if the terminal fee is included in the airline booking?
Check the breakdown of taxes and fees on your booking receipt or when booking the flight ticket. The terminal fee is usually labeled as PH Passenger Service Charge, Domestic Passenger Service Charge or International Passenger Service Charge. There’s usually also a corresponding Aviation Security Fee (ASF) and separate Value Added Tax for the terminal fee.
Do I still need to pay the terminal fee, even after paying the travel tax?
Yes, the terminal fee and travel tax are separate fees. If you’re not exempted, then you need to pay both.
Do I need to pay the terminal fee and travel tax when I arrive in the Philippines?
The airport terminal fee and Philippine Travel Tax does not apply to arriving passengers.
Don’t leave yet. There’s more!

Hi. I am budy from Indonesia. I would like to ask you related airport tax terminal fee and philippines travel tax. I booked the ticket from Jakarta to Manila (transit). And then Manila to Seoul. I am foreign passport holder. Should I pay airport tax terminal fee and phillipines travel tax? Thanks ☺
May 15, 2016 at 5:53 pm
If you have a single journey ticket, I’m not sure if you have to pay, but if you are changing airlines or if you’re required to check-in for your next flight then you may have to pay the international terminal fee. The Philippine travel tax is mostly for Philippine residents.
May 15, 2016 at 11:38 pm
taxinternational travel is 1,620 in pesos thats the full payment is it require to pay even after 6months you arrived in manila and you are going out again another 1,620
May 16, 2016 at 3:37 am
Hello Gloria,
If you are required to pay the PH travel tax, you may have to pay this fee for every departure regardless of the time between your flights. It is charged specifically for every plane ticket. You can read more info about it at http://tieza.gov.ph/travel-tax/ .
June 4, 2016 at 3:21 pm
was their another charges aside from travel tax, terminal fee. going to hongkong.. the so called TIEZA??
June 4, 2016 at 4:38 pm
Those are the only charges you need to pay at the airport if you are departing on an international flight from the Philippines

December 14, 2016 at 7:18 pm
As far as I know, Philippine citizens pay PH travel tax for every international departure, kahit same day pa yung pag uwi mo and travel international ulit.
February 1, 2017 at 4:48 pm
hi, im an OFW , me and my mom and bb will travel to HK for holiday via CEbupacific airways in the tkts it says passenger service charge and TAXES AND FEES PH Passenger Service Charge – PHP 491.07 – is this the terminal fee? Hong Kong Airport Construction Fee – PHP 577.94 Air Passenger Departure Tax – PHP 770.59 – is this the travel tax? Security Surcharge – PHP 288.97 and i want to ask also , since im OFW am i exempted with this taxes (terminal and travel tax going to HK for holiday?)
February 1, 2017 at 9:52 pm
I’ll breakdown the list so it’s easier to go through them.
PH Passenger Service Charge – PHP 491.07 – is this the terminal fee?
This I believe is the PH airport terminal fee. There should be another item called the “PH PSC Value Added Tax: 58.93,” which usually amounts to P58.93. So, the total is the P550 terminal fee.
This terminal fee should be refundable for OFWs with OEC.
Air Passenger Departure Tax – PHP 770.59 – is this the travel tax?
This is a HK$120 fee charged in Hong Kong, not in the Philippines.

Hi i am traveling to singapore next week. First time ko.. Magkanu babayaran kong travel tax, and do i need to pay terminal fees?. Mejo nervous kc aq as a first timer eh,, sana matulungan m ko.. Saka do i need to fill up embarkation card and where to get it ba… Your reply is going to be a good help.,
February 23, 2017 at 5:27 pm
P1,620 po yung travel tax per person for economy class tickets. Sa airport po yan binabayaran. Kung galing ka Manila Airport, hindi na kelangan mag bayad ng terminal fee sa airport kase nabayaran na po yan sa ticket.
Yung embarkation card before arriving in Singapore, usually dini-distribute po yan during the flight. Sakali wala sa flight mo, naka lagay lang yan sa immigration checkpoint sa Singapore.
Safe trip Lovelie!

Hi, Next week is my departure going to Saudi and I visit my hubby. How much to pay the terminal fee? Thanks
March 9, 2017 at 5:00 am
If you are departing from Manila. There is no terminal fee charged at the airport. The fee is already paid for when you bought the ticket.
March 17, 2017 at 5:15 am
Hello Marcos. My wife (Philippine citizen & Philippine passport holder) is flying out of NAIA terminal 2 for UK settlement. Does she have to pay travel tax?

April 23, 2017 at 8:56 am
You don’t need to pay the terminal fee when you arrive in the Philippines. If you’re flying out of Davao, you need to pay the terminal fee at the airport. If you’re flying from Manila, no need to pay. The fee is already included in the ticket price. See the list of terminal fee prices above.
May 12, 2017 at 2:03 pm
I’m travelling to Vietnam with my Swedish husband flying from Manila to Hanoi.
Does he need to pay travel tax fee, P1,620? He has 9a/Tourist Visa, non-immigrant but stays here in Philippines since 2015 and only do tourist visa extension every 2 mos to stay legally here.

May 12, 2017 at 2:09 pm
Hello Riza,
I’m not sure if he is required to pay. Best to contact TIEZA to be sure.
Enjoy your trip!

There seems to be a bit of a confusion (mix up) here … Under “Airport terminal fee” you wrote: “You do not have to pay the terminal fee if you are on a flight from Manila, Caticlan (Boracay), or a domestic flight from Cebu.” and again under “Popular Philippine Airports” you wrote: Cebu-Mactan (CEB) Domestic – Included in flight ticket. International – P750. But … under “Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB)” you wrote: “The Cebu Airport passenger terminal fee is P750 per person for domestic flights. If you are on an international flight, you do not have to pay the terminal fee since it should already be paid for / included in the plane ticket price, at the time of booking.” This is the total opposite of the first two. So which is correct? Also if you go international but is required to change plane, like Cebu to Manila, then Manila to Bangkok, do you have to first pay Domestic then International terminal fees or do you pay the International terminal fee twice? Once in Cebu (750) and again (as included in ticket) in Manila?
May 14, 2017 at 5:17 pm
The first one is correct. Thanks for pointing out the error Luigi.
Just did a mock online booking for a Cebu-Manila-Bangkok flight, only the P750 PH international terminal fee shows up on the receipt. So, you might have to pay the terminal fee (for international flights) ONLY ONCE & it’s already included in the total price, upon purchase. This assumes that the whole journey is on a single plane ticket, and not two separate tickets.
If you booked a Cebu – Manila flight ticket, and another Manila – Bangkok flight ticket … You might have to pay the domestic terminal fee in Cebu, and international terminal fee in Manila. Both should already be included in the total price, upon purchase. So, you don’t need to pay at the airport. If both flights are on the same airline, on the same day, best to ask the airport/airline staff if you can get a refund for your Cebu-Manila terminal fee… If they are on different airlines & on different dates, you will need to pay both.
You only pay the international terminal fee once.

Do I need to pay all these fees when booking Philippine Airlines? Passenger service charge usd 11, airport construction fee usd 12, airport passenger security chare usd 6, Air passenger departure tax usd 16, is this what they called travel tax and do we need to pay coz we’re on European passports? Many thanks if someone can answer our queries.
September 22, 2017 at 9:00 am
The “travel tax” commonly mentioned on this page is the Philippine Travel Tax . It mostly applies to Philippine citizens traveling abroad and foreigners on long-term PH visa.
If you are visiting the PH for a short time, you shouldn’t need to worry about it. It is paid at the airport not when you book your flight online anyways.
Those fees you mentioned are probably mandatory airport/gov’t fees. So yes, you may need to pay all of them.
October 3, 2017 at 10:59 pm
Hi tanong ko Lang poh if I need to pay terminal fee or travel tax ? I’m British citizen with British passport I stayed here just for 30 days. Tnx
October 4, 2017 at 9:36 am
You only need to pay the terminal fee is it’s not already included in the ticket fare (on purchase). All airlines have started to include terminal fee in the price of the ticket recently.
October 15, 2017 at 9:29 pm
May tax and departure fee pa po bang babayaran sa Hong Kong Airport pag uwi namin sa Manila or kasama na sya ticket?
Ito po yung nakalagay sa ticket namin. Air Asia po yung airline.
Flight 2x Guests 11340.00 PHP International Passenger Service Charge – 1100.00 PHP (departure fee of ph or hk?) Airport Construction Fee – 1140.00 PHP (this is hk right?) Airport Tax – 1980.00 PHP (ito po ba yung included airport tax sa hong kong? so mag babayad pa kami ng tax & departure fee dito sa ph pag alis?)
Sorry, I’m just confused and needed answers. Thank you in advance!
October 28, 2017 at 10:51 pm
Walang Tax/Airport/Departure fee on flights from HK Airport.
July 30, 2019 at 2:52 pm
Ask ko lang about sa following fees. Bakit magkaiba sila?
Departure ( Kota Kinabalu) Fare, taxes and fees 2x International Passenger Service Charge1,100.00 PHP
Arrival (Manila) Fare, taxes and fees 2x Passenger Service Charge790.00 PHP 2x Regulatory Service Charge26.00 PHP
Thank you…
August 4, 2019 at 3:51 pm
Yung fees sa “Arrival (Manila)” na flight, fees yan ng departure airport (for example, yung exit fee/taxes for Kota Kinabalu Airport departures)

Hi! We’re going on a cruise to asia and we will embark the ship in manila seaport. Do we have to pay terminal fee before checking on board the ship? The cruise will end in shanghai and we already bought ticket to fly home. Same question, do we have to pay terminal fee upon arrival in manila? Thanks!
March 16, 2018 at 1:07 pm
Hello Jon M., the terminal fees discussed on this page is for airports in the Philippines. I recommend that you inquire with the cruise operator about fee included/not included in your package.

I am on OFW working in Malaysia but is planning a vacation trip with my family to Taipei. As on OFW I have previleged not to pay the Terminal fee and travel tax however my family is not exempted, However as far as I know they are allowed to pay only 50% of the terminal fee, is this still applicable for them?

Hi Eugenio. I’m not sure. You can try asking the airlines on FB.

Very expensive travel tax and terminal fee but you cannot see any progress here in Philippines. Everywhere you go, there is fee! Unlike in other countries they are not collecting any terminal fee fee from customer.
July 15, 2018 at 6:02 pm
Hi Trisha, all airports around the world charge terminal fees and taxes, you just don’t notice it because it’s already included in the airfare. As for the travel tax for international Pinoy travelers, PH Gov’t should really make an exception for ASEAN flights, which will encourage more intra-regional tourism activities/spending.

There are two fees you will be asked to pay at the airport.
1. Clark Airport Terminal Fee = P600 per person 2. Philippine Travel Tax (for PH citizens traveling abroad = P1,620 per person
Total = P2,220

Hi Celeste,
You can check the link to TIEZA’s website that I provided on the article. Here the link in case you missed it: http://tieza.gov.ph/travel-tax/
Details are posted there on exemptions. Here is what i found:
—– Who may be exempted from paying the Travel Tax? The following Filipino citizens are exempted from the payment of travel tax pursuant to Sec. 2 of PD 1183, as amended:
Overseas Filipino workers Filipino permanent residents abroad whose stay in the Philippines is less than one year Infants (2 years and below) —–

February 6, 2019 at 5:05 am
Infants (under 2 years old) are not charged the terminal fee. Children over 2 years old are applicable to pay the terminal fee.
February 27, 2019 at 8:22 am
Hi. Just want to ask if my family still needs to pay Travel Tax and Terminal Fee? They are departing from Manila International Airport. I booked their tickets at PAL and they have an Immigrant Passport . Thank you
March 1, 2019 at 2:33 pm
Hi Cecille, the terminal fee applies to all passengers & the travel tax applies to Philippine citizens. Might be worth asking the airline about the policy/exemptions, in your case.
March 26, 2019 at 12:44 pm
Hi sir good afternoon, Where’s the Kalibo international airport to pay the travel tax and terminal fee? How much? Lining up?

Is the airport tax a one time fee? Should I pay it every time I travel out of the country?
Thanks in advance ?
July 12, 2019 at 11:37 pm
YES. You have to pay for every departure, regardless of the time difference between trips.
August 16, 2019 at 1:43 pm
Hi po, ask lang if the terminal fee is also exempted for OFW for domestic flights in all domestic airports?

This is extortion. How can the government impose a tax on international travellers? Also most airlines do not make it clear that there is terminal fee in Cebu. Philippines needs to stop this corruption.
November 9, 2019 at 7:21 pm
All airports charge a terminal fee. Most airports in the world charge way more than any airport in the Philippines. They just include the terminal fee in your ticket price so you don’t see it. In any case, for international flights from Mactan Cebu, purchased since 1st September this year, they have the terminal fee included in the ticket price now.
October 24, 2019 at 11:04 am
hi, sa binayaran ko sa airline may nakalagay na 1,680 na travel tax.. dalawa kase kame.. tapos pagdating sa airport siningil pa ko na Passenger service charge 600 per person.. bukod pa dun sa 1,620 na airport tax..
November 22, 2019 at 10:05 am
Saang airport po?
November 18, 2019 at 2:53 pm
I would like to give an update regarding the Airport Terminal Fee or what it is now called as INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER SERVICE CHARGE, I just booked a ticket and I saw in the payment invoice, it is already included in the ticket price. So no need to pay at the airport for the Terminal fee. For all you travelling passengers, please confirm it first in the invoice before paying for the terminal fee at the airport. To avoid paying twice . . .
December 24, 2019 at 9:06 am

Hi! Do you have any details regarding students being exempted from the airport terminal fee?
June 2, 2020 at 3:26 pm
I just wanna ask.
If I buy one way ticket to abroad then pay travel tax, and buy another ticket going back to origin country (separate transactions) will i need to pay the travel tax again?
June 5, 2020 at 10:28 am
you pay the travel tax only once per exit from the Philippines (not on entry/return).
November 27, 2020 at 9:08 am

Thank you for providing the detailed information on the additional travel taxes imposed at the airport. Especially for people of the Philippines taking international flights! My daughter-in-law was concerned about what someone had told her, and I am thankful to find your information!
