I am a US passport holder and have quite a few stamps and visas in my passport from traveling and working. Next month I'm going down to the Philippines. I one page that is totally empty and a few other pages which have space as well. I should be ok right? I need to get a trip permit from immigration before I leave as I'm an F-2

Later this year I plan on going to get pages added, but I would really rather not do it now with all the up coming holidays.

i don't know how much passport space a trip to the philippines would take so i can't answer on that front. but if you need immigration to give you a permit here, plus you'll likely get stamps or something there, i would have pages added now just to be on the safe side. if it were me, i would be worried that something that trivial could end up getting me denied entry to a country- i tend to worry though, even if the possible threat isn't so likely.

it looks like you're in seoul, i would say take an hour out of your day tomorrow, drop it at the embassy and pick it up the next day. that way it's done with and you won't have to worry about having enough room.

Yes, it is free .... Just swing by the embassy. The last time I added pages, it took about 10 minutes.

Don't sweat it too much yet...Philippines just have 1 normal sized entry and exit stamp (no full-page visas or such), while getting pages added to your passport takes 10 mins and it's free, as stated above-- Have a great trip!
