Acquire Immigration Form: Obtain an Immigration Form, also known as a Departure Card. These forms are typically available at the check-in counter; if not, they can be obtained at the Immigration Area. Guards may verify your boarding pass before entry. Complete one form per person, providing the exact address of your hotel.

Proceed to Immigration Booths: Philippine passport-holders have separate queues from foreigners, so ensure you join the appropriate line. Present your passport to the Immigration Officer when it's your turn, who may or may not have additional inquiries.

Final Security Check: Undergo the final security screening. Remove all electronic devices and metal items from your person, including belts and coins, following instructions given. Shoes should be removed only if instructed.

Pre-Departure Area: After completing the final security check, proceed to the Pre-Departure Area. Check your boarding pass for the designated gate. Once there, await the boarding call.
