toton8791 would you be kind enough to update the thread as to what were required from your family when they left the country? And did they really need to present an affidavit of support? Thanks!

they would need a copy of your OEC together with marriage certificate for your wife and birth certificate for your child to avail the reduced travel tax otherwise they have to pay the full rate

The immigration system can identify what particular visa the husband is using and history of your travel, OEC stands for Overseas Employment Certificate meaning for workers under working visa but not for family/visit/business visa.

yes, sometimes the immigration officer ask for the sponsors oec, depending on his/her mood so better send it to the phils.

OEC is not a requirement since they are your dependents. However they might need a copy of your OEC to avail of the reduced travel tax.
