Question About 59 Day Visa

[mogo51]

 

At NAIA-1 left side BEFORE the immigration booths.(glass door)

 

The OP was asking about Cebu. The office used to be to the left before immigration counters in Cebu if I recall correctly but may have changed since the last time I was there.

 

 

Got an idea, why don''t you ask?

I can believe that, but remember that only applies, to one (the 30th) or two (the 31st) days per month - and also one day every four years which is when February 29 comes round.

 

if you get your first post-59 day extension on any other of the days of the month from 1-28, which are days that all 12 of the months have, all they will do when you get your stamp be it one, two or six months will give you until the same day of the month however long the extension is. So if you are there on the 15th of February and want to extend for one month your expiry date will be 15th March and you have to be out of the country by midnight on that day. For two months, 15th of April. For six months, 15th of August.

 

in reverse, people sometimes say that you get one month visa-waiver upon arrival at the airport in the Philippines and Thailand, or three months in Malaysia and Singapore. But you don't get one month, and three months. You get 30 days, and 90 days respectively.

  :89:   Sorry! I am lost as to where this is going, I think we have all been here long enough to know the score on 9a Visa extensions and this part of the Topic is just going to confuse newcomers to the PI. So what exactly are we saying here? if I might Ask?  :whistling:

When I do my extensions I tick the box for 2 months and they give me 2 months.

Yes it is same date every 2 months.

Sorry if this is a touchy thing but I never thought it was a Secret so, When you had to renew your Passport last year, you had a little Overstay. When you cleared up that Little Overstay was your day date still the Same as before? :) Until your Visa Run? This year.

( just a Tad embarrassed to ask but it will help clear this up :thumbsup: )

Does anybody know where at the Davao Airport, I can get the 59 day (29 day extension)?

 

I assume there is a fee for the 29day extension (over the initial 30 day waver). Does anyone know what that fee is?

 

Thanks Dave

I can't remember exactly, without going to the BI site to look it up, but I do remember that it is about the same price as a normal 2 month extension so in essence your 'free' 30 days is added into the next 29. You want numbers, its about 3,000 pesos give or take.

Im not experienced at this seeking an extension exercise, but I take it for the very first extension you are arriving and seek the extension before going through customs, as for the further extensions, do you attend an immigration office and apply (therefore no requirement to leave the country) or do you have to leave the country and come back and apply for another 2 month visa?  If per chance you can apply for the further extensions without leaving the country what questions do they ask before approving the extension.  What about this Bailiko visa (not sure if that is how you spell it) which they are not obligated to give you (at their discretion) and is that for a 1 year?
