Now guys, listen up, this is not going to be easy. If you paid your tax at the airport in 1 minute, you’ll have a hard time getting a refund. What you should do is bring the original & photo copies of the following documents I’ll be enumerating below to PTA MAIN OFFICE Kalaw St. Ermita, Manila during office hours. Ones there, you must get a number and wait for your number to be called. Have these documents ready with you or you will be most likely be requested to come back again.

For offloaded passengers/subject for POEA/Exemption

Original Passport
Original OR and ATAP
Original OEC from POEA
