- With only 3 days notice, we were told we have to leave the Philippines because of a new change to the Balikbayal tourist visa. Hopefully this video helps you if you're here on the Balikbayan visa.
In this video I'll go over the situation and changes made. We'll also go to immigration so you can see where you need to renew your visas as a tourist here in Bohol, Philippines.

Dude! That new 360 camera! 🔥 Perfect for your motorbike rides. 👌 Keep them coming, Big Dawg.
Super fun the 360 camera. I’m really liking it so far.
Since I found your videos about the bagyo last December, I’ve been following you. Love your videos. Right now I‘m in Bohol visiting my family.
Thanks for following! Enjoy your time in Bohol.
Missed Bohol. Thanks for the video hoping to visit my Mom's hometown in Jagna this year.
Thanks 🙏 hope you can make it back to Bojol
Cool video! I miss Panglao! I’ll come back soon. Will be my 4th time this year 😊
Awesome! Great place to vacation
I guess there's a lot of people caught by the new rules Allan. Good ro see you back mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Yeah I think so, anyone that arrive on Balikbayan visa before the pandemic would have to leave now or soon.
Nice cafe but could use a few fans outdoors. Also, Panglao church area needs some major big canopy trees looks barren for an area that is really lush.
Thanks. They do have fans but not in the area I was sitting. I could have asked them to move a fan there but didn’t want to have the wind noise while I was talking 😄
I'm on a Balikbayan Visa, and was not sure if I had 2 or 3 years after it ends. Now I know! Thanks.
Great! I’m glad the video was helpful 😀
Superb good information as per usual. It is always a good idea to respect
immigration I like the way you are getting yourself sorted as dual citizen 👌 😉
Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you 🙏 fingers crossed I hope it all works out.
Beautiful bohol 👍.. Thanks for info..
Thank you 🙏 you’re welcome
First one I've watched in a while, you do great videos. Looking forward to getting back again this year in November, before it gets to cold here in Alberta.
Thanks you! It’s the first I’ve filmed in a while. Will be good to get out of the Alberta cold 😀
Hopefully all the arrangements can be sorted out, there doesn't seem to be much info about it so I suspect many people will be caught by the changes. Great to hear that you are doing well Allan
Thank you! Yes I suspect the same. I hope people get more warning than we did. Just depends on when they arrived.
Nice video. Glad to see your doing well.
Thank you 🙏 yeah I took a TH-cam and social media break 🙂
Good information comes from the people that experienced it 🌞 Thank you so much 🙏🌻🌞
Thank you. I’m glad it was informative.
You are welcome and stay safe 🙏🌞
Thanks for the info. My wife and I are here live near ICM mall, starting the 13a visa soon
Thanks. Hope it was helpful. 13a will definitely solve this issue 😀
Just got my probationary 1 year visa... I highly recommend rj agency to avoid all the filipino administrative hassle.
Hey, been a subscriber for a while (from Vancouver Canada) great video! loved it . Keep it coming. I was in Bohol in April (Panglao). I'm a city guy, but seem to be being pulled more and more towards Bohol?! Anyway, just wanted to say I'm relocating to the Phils , keep the vids coming.
Awesome, thanks 🙏 I’m glad the videos are helpful. Take care and let me know when you move to Bohol.
@@BoholisAwesome Ha, will do. Next time I’m there we’ll go for a coffee. Will be in Manila and Baguio in November.
Hello! Since your parents were in the Philippines for awhile (3-5yrs?), were there any issues with using the OHIP coverage when they got back in Ontario Canada? Did they need to apply for a new OHIP card when they arrived in Ontario Canada? Or they had OHIP coverage right away when they arrived in Ontario Canada? Thanks!
Nothing like the Philippines. My dad is from Ubay Bohol.
Hello from Bohol!
Really appreciate the videos
Common logical sense would dictate that the fair and ethical way for the administration to have handled the new immigration law policy change was to grandfather in the balikbayan visa holders who were admitted under the old immigration balikbayan law, allowing them the 1 year balikbayan visa, plus the 3 additional years of tourist visa status, before having to leave the Philippines for at least a 24 hour period. The implementation of the 1 year balikbayan visa, plus a 2 year tourist visa status, before having to leave the Philippines could have been enacted for all new balikbayan entrants as per the date set forth for initiation, rather than lumping previous balikbayan holders in with the newly approved balikbayan holders with the new immigration law. Oh, well, we are at the mercy of governmental policies and laws. Your parents and you appeared to handled the situation calmly and well, which is important in those type of circumstances. Still a very pleasant island life day for you. Be well.
Yeah. That would have been a logical and fair way to do it. But oh well. Hopefully this video can help someone that is in the same situation. Thanks for watching!
Panglao got the best beach indeed! Even the waters like Boracay too!
Definitely. Great beaches here
hmm, need to check on this as I haven't applied for my dual citizenship yet. Thanks for the info.
Thanks. You’re welcome
Great information 👍🏾
Thanks 🙏 I’m glad it was helpful
Hi there,
I’m currently in the process of getting my Filipino citizenship back to become dual UK/PH. But my wife and kids are British so they will follow the new tourist rules that you described very well. Thank you for the information and I hope that your parents enjoy their enforced vacation.
Since we live in the UK, I don’t think that we’ll ever exceed the one year of free visa since we’ll only go to Philippines for vacations. We’re at South Palms for a week in April next year, so maybe you can teach me volleyball? Take care buddy!
Awesome. I’m glad the video was helpful. Let me know when you come. I maybe gone in April for honeymoon. But if not we can grab a drink at South Palms 😀
@@BoholisAwesome Of course, that would be great and good luck with your wedding plans!
Thats very good info for us who wanna visit there soon bro! Thats a nice all day task. Hope to your story how you and your wife met?😂
Great show
Thank you 🙏
Nice place...
I love living in Bohol
Subbed . and liked 👍.
Awesome! Thanks 🙏
Helpful info b/c I'm currently on my balikbayan visa and wanting to extend my stay longer. If I may ask, did you apply for your visa here in the PH?
After your Balikbayan is finished you need to go to an immigration office to extend on a tourist visa. Depending where you’re from, you just go in to pay and renew. No need to apply.
Be a dual citizen if you can. I miss Bohol😔
I’m working on it. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
I thought you could just keep renewing a tourist visa for up to 3 years before you have to exit the country?
Correct. If you arrive on a regular tourist visa, that is still the same. But if you arrive in Balikbayan visa, then you only get 2 years after your Balikbayan year is up.
@@BoholisAwesome yes, so 3 years either way. But I was wondering why your parents couldn't just renew their visa?
Rice is life 😂😘
Hehe 😘
Hey brother I’m a balikbayan are they gonna process a citizenship too in panglao?
Hello. Citizenship is processed in Manila. Panglao only for Visa extension.
@@BoholisAwesome thanks brother 👍
Your parents ever come back?
Haha. Yes they came back after a month 🙂
@@BoholisAwesome great that's good to hear!
If I buy land and or build a house in Fiji ,I get a 3 year visa and just renew it every 3 years with no issues .socialist/ communist country's always has ridiculous laws with no common sense .my view is your mother is Phillipino and is married to your dad so to me he has the right to be with her if she wants to stay in her home country.
Yeah sometimes it doesn’t make sense. But it’s ok, I love living here.
The beginning of "Marcos regime" all over again.
🤷♂️ Let’s see how it goes. Not my place to comment since I’m not a citizen yet.
