Jollygoodfellow Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 My visa expires on the 20th of August I have found a flight out at a reasonable price but the date available is the 20th. So my question is the visa still valid until midnight the 20th? That's the way I see it but .... Anyone flown out on the same date as the expiry ?

OnMyWay Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 That is a tough one that maybe only BI can answer if you can't get lucky here. I googled and didn't find anything. Air Asia is having a sale and I also booked a ticket for the 20th, but only domestic, Clark-Cebu, down to your neck of the woods. We are going to spend a week down there as there are two school holidays during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillipino_wannabe Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I wouldn't bother risking it to be honest, sounds like the start of a Daily Mail headline. ' Australian detained and being held in detention facility in the Philippines despite leaving before his visa expired' lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I up until last year used to do 3 or 4 trips to the Phils per year. I always left on my last day of permitted stay... and I would say yes, up to 12 midnight would be logical. You will be charged around p1000 per day overstay, if the Immigration officer disagrees, though I doubt that is going to happen. If in doubt, do by all means consult with BI, or at least an experienced local travel agent. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did know one fellow who was threatened to be charged at the airport for an overstay because his plane left after midnight. But he was checking in before midnight so he just got a lecture and they let him go. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get the flight I will be leaving in the morning so shouldn't have any trouble since in practical terms I have all day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I think you will find that strictly speaking, once past Immigration, as a passenger, you are officially no longer 'in-country' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
