30 Day PI Visa

[Yo-Adrien 2]

Hello all. . .So we are again going to the PI this spring and ponder this:   How do I get a 30 Day Visa?   Is it automatically granted upon arrival at MNL   or    do I have to apply for a 30 day Visa??? Remember to stay Happy & Healthy. . .Thanks all!!!!!!!!

Filipino just shows their passport.  USC enters immigration and your given a visa for a stay of 30 days on the visa waiver, after that you can extend for 29 days, to bring your total up to 59 days.  You can extend beyond if needed. Nothing has to be done ahead of time as this visa is given upon entry into the Philippines.

So "WE" are going to the Philippines.. again??   Are you done with the U.S. visa process, married and your wife has her GC?  Just asking as the answer would be different then.

 

As for the 30 tourist visa.. it is automatic upon arrive.  Then if you stay longer you can go to BI and get a 59 day visa giving you two more months roughly.

More data... DIFFERENT answer.

 

YOU get the BB stamp in your passport, which is good for ONE YEAR.  All you need to do is clear immigration in the same line with your asawa, then ask the agent for the BB stamp.

If you go the BB route don't forget to show the marriage certificate.

With BB, it's free of any fees or headaches for one year!

No need for a copy of the marriage certificate,  never been asked for that.

What if the immigration office decides to ask, like they always did to me?

Unless you want to find out there?

THANKS all!!!!. . .Gonna let my wife visit family in PI while I get caught up with life in CA & I will go a month later ( we have been out of area for a few months ); we just got tix to Palau &will head there about 26 days after I arrive in the PI. . .I knew about the BB program but have never gone over at same time as my wife. . . Might be a good reason to do so in the future. . .

Really?   Weird.    

 

We have never been asked.

 

Is the last name in both passports the same (married name)?

[Meerak 1]

What would you do if the immigration officer objects?

Are you going to say, but our last names are the same in the passport? Or are you going to show the MC?

 

Here is another similar one ...

Will you need a throw-away ticket to board your plane before going on a BB to the Philippines with your Filipina wife?

The BB says you don't but the airline agent might stop you from boarding?

 

It's better to be fully prepared coz you will never know what kind of an ignorant in authority you might face!
