The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking has issued revised guidelines for travel abroad to protect Filipinos from human trafficking and illegal recruitment. The new rules, taking effect September 3rd, have caused concerns among Filipinos. Most travelers (95%) only need to present basic documents like a valid passport, return ticket, and visa if required. Additional documents may be requested of first-time travelers to verify the purpose of their trip, but experienced travelers with a history of frequent travel can pass with basic documents. The guidelines specify potential supporting documents required for different types of travelers.
