Puerto Princesa - Clearance
For full details on clearing into and out of the country see Philippines Formalities.
This is the best port of entry for the Philippines if coming from the south as fees are sensible. Subic Bay has high fees and Batangas (both on Luzon) is reported to be corrupt (May 2023).
Immigration is situated on Rizal Ave, near but opposite the airport, on the second floor of a bright green three (3) story building along the main road, right-hand side towards the airport – small signpost on the second-floor balcony, entry is around back. Some of the tricycles cabbies know where it is and is only a short trike ride from AYC.
Customs is located opposite the Pilot Elementary school just off Manola Street, in another anonymous house. The tricycle cabbies mostly know where it is. The officials are all very helpful. Customs is responsible for local regional clearance only and do not always expect private yachts to clear with them, but it proves useful if flying out of the country and then back again.
See the AYC website for useful details including photos of the buildings to be visited.

Palawan has 1/4 of all the islands in the Philippines – numbering 1780 – and is inhabited by only 1% of the total population. The cruising is top class and as good as you will find anywhere worldwide in tropical cruising grounds.
