How Long To Get Exit Clearance Certificate (Ecc) At Cebu Airport?

[jpbago]

I got my ECC at the BI in Cebu two days ago. It took about 90 minutes as the small place was very busy. From the doors, go to the left where it says take a number. The guy there at the desk gives you a form to fill out (no number) and tells you to bring it back to him with 3 pics and your passport. He stamps and checks it out then tells you to bring it to Recieving 1 window. She tells you to sit down and wait for them to call you. They call and tell you to go to Cashier 1 where you pay 500p and sit down (or try to. It was like musical chairs. When you get up, 3 people rush for your chair. Everyone is moving so you do get a chair if you are close to the guy that fidgets when they call a name. If you want to have some fun, start to stand up whenever a name is called out.) Then a guy comes out with your papers and takes you to a corner to get your thumbprints. Then you wait again until he comes back with your papers and says "bye". The staff was very busy yet in good humor and manners. There was many nationalities there with language problems but it was dealt with in a good way. The small room was full, all the chairs plus 30 people standing inside and another 30 standing outside. A 90 day or 180 day visa would solve that problem.

A guy came in after staying 5 years with no visa extensions and an expired passport. He was told to go to Manila.
