Adventurer Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 My visa is due for the 2 month renewal soon. I will pick up my icard as well when i go there next since I paid for it last time. What I would like to know is if I can get my renewal about 1 week before the date in my passport? Also if I can, would the next renewal be 2 months from the date I renew it or 2 months from the date in my passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger31 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 yes you can get visa that close and your extension will be 2 months from your passport stamp. I renewed my visa 1 day before it expired no problem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 You can renew 2 weeks before, the new extension will be from the date in your passport. I went last Tuesday and it took me 32 minutes to renew. I nearly fell over with shock. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger31 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 one thing I hate paying for is that dam acr card .When I got my last one it was in my wallet for a year and never came out .never was asked for it the whole year ,its just another way to extract money from tourists as far as i,m concerned.when I first got it ,I asked the guy why I had to have it ,he said it was to give you priority at the boi .not once have I been asked for it at each and every visa extension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cockroach Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Greetings folks, What I understand is... On first entry to the country a 21 days is given for free (tourist visa). Then if the person is to stay longer he/she would have to renew for another (or is it combined?) 59 days and pay some fee? When that ends, it's another renewal for another 59 days, with pay of course, and so on! So, to stay in the Philis, one would have to renew every two months. Am I correct? Personally, I find it stupid. Why not just renew for a year, pay whatever and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 When you fill out the form for renewal write in the box 2 months and you will then have to renew on the same date every month. If you write 59 days you will get 59 days so best to write 2 months. I always pick up the form for the next time and fill it out before i get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
