Ramos street for my extensions. It is the hassle free way to extend. Drop off your passport and money for the extension. Pick up your passport when it is convenient. In and out in a few minutes.When we had CebuTours, we offered a visa extension service where we picked up your passport from your accommodation and dropped it back again when the job was done. CebuTours no longer exists but hopefully we will be able to offer this service again soon, using a different business.Regards; Jim Sibbick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to dig them upHello MikeAll I have at the moment is bills. When I have some money, I will be back in the Philippines. I now have a share in a house by the sea in Palompon Leyte thanks to a Filipina who couldn't pay her debt to me. Although it may be a ploy just to - Get me to marry her sisteror- Use all my furniture. or bothThey have asked me to move all my furniture in to the new house but I have left everything in place at the house of my ex wife's family for the moment.Otherwise, life is fairly easy at the moment. Is the super nice guy at Travelways ALAN G CARVAJAL?I sent him an email yesterday regarding setting up as a sub agent for visa extensions. That is, we plan to operate as we did previously with them when I was a partner in CebuTours.comRegards: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Not real sure Jim ..... on the name ..... a few days ago we had a holiday here in Cebu and not knowing this I went down to extend my visa .... the place was closed and we stood outside the locked gate looking stupid ..... anyway this guy comes out ..... (well dressed) and explained to us that it was a holiday and he apologized for being closed ..... now he didn't have to do it ... he could have done like most and just ignored us as we could not see inside the office ...... I've seen him in there often and he always asks us how we are ...... Anyway we tried using the Cebutours name as a buzz word when I first went there hoping to get a discount .... but no go .....
