Hi Guys and Girls,

A quick question if I may.

I am a UK national have a flight booked via Emirates to Manila later this month for a 3 month stay in the Philippines.

I have been informed it is up to the discretion of the Emirates boarding staff to allow me to board subject to the correct visa I hold. I am fully aware that I will be issued a 30 day visa once I arrive in the Philippines and that I can extend this to 59 days and beyond (to cover the full 3 months) which is my plan.

I have a concern though that the Emirates boarding staff may refuse me to board the plane because I initially do not have the correct visa's in place when departing the UK.

Can Emirates refuse to let me board because of this and has anyone experienced this?

Also, I have been made aware that Emirates staff may also ask me to produce evidence that I have enough funds to cover my intended 3 month stay in the Philippines therefore if this is the case should I take along a bank statement with me?

Many thanks for reading and I hope some of you can be of help.

Thanks again.
