But is that after tax and fees?
yes. thru pal's website, that already include the sales tax, plus $8 if you want to include travel insurance. but you will pay Php1620 at the airport. and the mrs has to show the copy of the card ;D

From their site they say cash or bank-to-bank. They don't seem to take credit cards. Haven't heard back from the missus about the place yet.

It's funny that we had to send them like a million photos already :D I think it was about 9 each with the application.. it was such a big deal. I think I sent 18 each, 2 different kinds in case they didn't like one. Then after PPR he sent 10 more. Just because he thought sending 10 would be better then 2 or 3.

LOL, did they send it back? Cchin [sept applicant] said theirs were sent back together with the visa/copr.

They didn't send us anything back! Just the Visa and a letter. He hasn't been super coherent since the visa showed up so I'm not really sure what all was in that envelope.

My wife got 2 in preparation for the PPR (1 for our files) and then wasn't asked for it when the PPR came.
