@@khloe14crisostomo76 it is all online: e-services.immigration.gov.ph/Dashboard/Index?ReturnUrl=%2FTouristVisaExtension you can pay cash at 7-11 stores. Jennifer did a step by step online renewal video on this actually
I Jennifer, I arrived in Manila from Brisbane on Thursday, no problems, but border security in Manila did ask to see travel insurance and one health pass, everything was in order thanks to your videos. Thank you very much
Hey Jenn, after our last chat on this issue, I think your timing on going over this was awesome!! 😀 It may of been more helpful to let your viewers know that they can't schedule their initial flight for more than 30 days. Remember when when we had this chat, I think last week? You left out the part about having to pay the change fees after your arrival....maybe if you do a follow up video, you can explain that further....Thanks again for all you do...your info is totally awesome!
That was my question, too. So foreigners can buy an initial round trip ticket for total of 30 days stay, get a visa tourist extension for another 29 days, but then have to change their flights to reflect that longer stay (and pay any airline change fees)? So that is the typical process? Thanks
Hi Jen / Elliot, thanks for this info, I"m from a 30 day tourist visa waiver country (Australia) and have a trip in Jan-Feb next year that is technically 31 days, by only 2.5 hours when landing at 21:30pm (30 nights stay) I"m not so concerned about a small fine but I am concerned how long I may be held up for the International connecting flight out of Manila to leave? Are you suggesting I can't use my scheduled Airline ticket that is a couple of hours over the 30 days? Failing that I may sit in baggage area until 00:01am to clear immigration on arrival to meet 30 day window :)
Very nice very nice my gwapa friend Jen I truly need this one hehehehe salamat for keeping us your subscribers in the Loop we are truly Greatful to the Lord for your chanell and your Honesty in this regards have an awesome Adlaw with your beautiful family you Look really great in that outfit Sa Dios Love Lots
Hello Jennifer, Thank for always helpful information. I have just a short report concerning my first 2month extension. I’m retired now living at Masbate, the easiest way to go is to Legazpi. We arrived at 4:15pm today after travel and went to the office just to have a look at the location because they close at 5 pm. They invited us to enter and asked only for the passport. After 10 minutes I had my extension and they told me to come back end of May for ACR-I card and 6 months extension. I highly recommend this office, nice officers and very quick. Just a hint: the office has transfered, it has a new address at the harbour side, in google it’s still the old one.
Thanks for your good advice I arrive 9th December for 33 days My girlfriend took me to immigration in Subic City and we were in there about 20 minutes and the guard was very helpful And extended for 29 more day Now I'm looking forward to returning and staying for ever Thanks again Charlie
Thank you Jennifer!! I just arrived a few days ago from the US, and I was wondering the steps to extending my stay under EO 408. You explained it very well, and provided very useful links to the immigration office locations and costs to avail the extension(s). Happy 2023!!
Only a few BI offices give the 6-month extension. If one is married to a Filipino citizen, one can also get a 6-month extension (show marriage certificate).
Just found this. Could not het an amswer abt visa extentios from any other vlogger. I asked.... no answer. Thanx for the info. Planning on coming im August and wamt to stay 3 or 4 months. Thanx again. Salamat kaayo.
Thanks Jennifer for all the updates on traveling to the Philippines. As my time to visit there in September both me and my girlfriend are excited to finally be together. As well as her children. You are doing an awesome job. Thanks again
Hello po ate, I’m currently about to board from sfo to mnl. Thank you for all the videos you made lately. They really helped me through the whole process.
I have an update for you so I just applied for my extension of 29 days here in butuan city and they offer the time of 6 months extension at this office cost of 14k I was so glad I can apply coming of the next 6 months and will be get a card as well thank you for this information it was helpful also they didn't really ask for Covid card at least I know for the next update I will lock in my 6 months stay
Good info on visitors visa extentions. I have already been in touch with JR about using his services. This way there should be no mistakes and he explains every thing very well
My husband apply for visa extension and we try express we get immediately!!! And next will can apply more than month or more!!! We're here in Bacolod city!!!
Remember, looking like a Filipino/Filipina nor speaking the language, is not enough to claim your balikbayan status. Don't forget to bring your documents, like an old/expired Philippine passport OR authenticated Philippine birth certificate from PSA. I've seen travelers arguing with immigration personnel regarding this. It won't help. You will need your documents. They're just doing their job and following protocols. I carry both old Philippine passport and Philippine birth certificate from PSA.
Yes you’ve been very helpful thank you very much and visa and such like that thank you in four months and I’m going to bring my cat with me probably for another 36 months yeah.58 years Definitely I deserve it in the Philippines God bless🇨🇿
Hi Jenn, my experience is 6 month extension is only available at the Intramoris Immigration Office. Visa Extension process is same as 30 day or 60 day extension. Sana maganda ang araw mo ngayon at God Bless kayo...
@Albert Thomas, as of two years ago I was able to get six months extensions at the BI office in Naga, Camarines Sud in the Bicol region. I won't know if this is still true for another two months.
@@GlamLux , my experience, you can apply anytime after arrival..the first extension is for 29 days. You can apply for that the next day after arrival...
How are you beautiful lady..thank you for everything you do God bless you always ..Just want to asked about my mom she immigrant in u.s but she was stock in Philippines.due of pandemic and she got sick.and she need to renew her green card.
Nice video, very Informative. Paano po mag- extend ang isang former Filipino citizen before the balikbayan visa expired together with foreign spouse and child? Is it individual application?
Hello Jennifer, I am still a filipina citizen who got married to an American citizen. I am travelling this coming Sept. for vacation . My question is can I avail the balikbayan visa.?
Hi Jennifer. 1 month ago I asked you a question about onward flights when I arrive on a 59 day stay visa. Im disappointed you havent replied . George Marr is my name Jennifer, Im a UK CITIZEN and I'll be flying on a 1 way ticket as I hope to obtain a Retiree Visa while Im there. Jennifer your advice will be truly appreciated. My arrival date will be 26 September this year. Many thanks. George.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but you could technically restart or reset the timeframe of a Balikbayan visa by traveling to another country and coming back. You'll probably get flagged if you do this multiple times or in extremely short time intervals. I'm traveling to the Philippines in a few weeks and I plan on visiting other countries as well, I'll be giving this a shot. I'd rather pay to see another country lol than pay the BI to get an extension. Of course I will get an extension if I need to but I am also planning on traveling to a nearby Asian country. It looks like countries like Thailand is cracking on this "practice". I'm planning on getting my dual citizenship while I'm there so I might not even need to get an extension. If anyone has any experience, feel free to comment.
In theory, to be given balikbayan privilege of 1 year, the traveler must have been out of PH for at least 1 year. However, giving of BB privilege depends on the discretion of the Immigration Officer. Re: dual citizenship, You may apply for it at the Bureau of Immigration main office in Intramuros, Manila. Dual citizenship is good to have if you're a senior & intend to retire in PH (can get senior citizen benefits).
Hi Jenifer. I'm a UK citizen who will arrive on 26 Sept this year. Hopefully I'll have been issued a 59 day stay visa from Embassy of Philippines in London. Now, does that mean I'm exempt from producing a ticket for onward travel?😅
Great video, thank you for such detail information. I have a question; no matter how long you extend your visa, if you leave the philippines for any reason. That visa extension is void and you will have to start over again? correct? it is a 'single entry" and what if i extend and get married and my new Ph wife and I leave the PH for Honeymoon? would I enter the Philippines under the BalikBayan Visa? in which I can then apply for 13A marriage visa while I am on the BalikBayan visa? Correct???
Hello Jen, if a US citizen has a valid/current ACR-I card do they still need an onward or return ticket for proof of leaving the Philippines at check in?
I am a Filipino naturalized American citizen living in Florida, USA. We plan to spend our vacation in May, 2023 in the Philippines with the intention to stay there in 5-6 months. Is the Balikbayan Privilege of an extended stay of up to one year still in effect as you mentioned?
I am a U.S. citizen I want to travel to the Philippines for more than 30 days. Can I just buy a plane ticket for 2-3 months out and pay the extension fee when I arrive in Manila or when I leave the Philippines?
I am coming to visit my wife (we have applied for her visa so she can come to the USA) from Nov.18 till Jan 23 what visa do I need and do I need it before I get there?
Isn't that included in the flight ticket since 2017? Before 2017 it had to be paid separately, which not all leaving visitors knew and caused a lot of stress at the airport 😁
I liked all your videos. You very successful. Thanks all your efforts. Its really confusing sometimes. Great news for they want stay years in Philippines. I wish i have that luxury. My girlfriend little bit lazy and poor . I must go there . Finally i can go after two years . I will be there at July. I am from Turkey. We don’t have vaccination card . We have website. I think Philippines accept vaccination digital copy .
Hi! Thank you for very detailed info. Really help po. Question, my dad is former Filipino netizen and now British. Can he avail Balikbayan privilege without any problem in both country? Thank you in advance 😊
Hello Jennifer thank u always for the updates will there be any changes regarding accepting the vaccine from all the 157 visa free countries even it's open to the world its still ridiculously expensive to get there especially with quarantine hotel for 6 days pray there will be some changes soon that the vaccine will be recognized for all the visa free countries
Hey Jennifer , Is This "The fourteen (14)-day visa free entry may be extended by an additional seven (7) days for a maximum of twenty-one (21)-day stay." has the same process for Indian tourist aswell ? My travel is for 16 days including entry and exit dates ....
Has anyone else been charged Php 25,000 for the first Balikbayan visa extension? My aunt hired an agent to go to the B.I. office and they charged her 25,000 for the service, including the B.I. application fees.
Hello Jennifer. Thank you for this. I do have a question. What if I avail of the balikbayan privilege for 12 months, then after 12 months, I leave the Philippines for one week and then come back to the Philippines. Will I receive another 12 months of Balikbayan privilege? Or is the privilege a onetime thing? If so. what category should I enter the Philippines under when I come back?
Hi Jenny. Here is my experience. I applied for the 29 days extension, for 3030 pesos. It took me about 3 hours. Next, I intend to apply for 3 months extension. How much will cost me this second time, please? Thanks for your services.
I noticed when I recently went to the Philippines with my family in February my arrival stamp said "stay until" with the date being exactly a year from the current date on the stamp.(I'm a Fil-Am born) Would the balikbayan program still apply to me when I travel there again later in the year by myself or would I have to apply for tourist visa / extension? Another question is that would I need to have the tourist visa before hand if I decide to apply for extensions in the Philippines?
Pag nag book ng ticket at ginawang for 2 months from arrival to departure. Kasi may free entry visa then mag extend ng another 29 days. Okay lang po ba di ma question?
I have a ticket for 59 days ,but can’t extend cos have to have a ticket for only 30 days, but if I had a 30 day ticket to extend but if I wanted to Extend I’d have to change my ticket which would cost me more money to change my ticket to stay. I’ve messaged you on Facebook messenger but nothing .
Hi Jen , I’m a Dual Citizen , this coming July uwi kami sa Pinas with my American Husband ang nabili namin ticket stay in Philippines for 50 days . Ok Lang ba yon ?
Hi JENNIFER, I’ve applied for dual citizenship here in the Philippines last year September. As of now,I’m still waiting for my certificate. My balikbayan visa expires in 3 weeks.am I considered as Filipino citizen now or do I have to extend my balikbayan visa and what’s the cost. Thanks
Hi Jennifer ! Thanks for the update . Can my mother in law a US citizen is considered a balikbayan if she’ll be traveling with her dual citizen son to Philippines ? Thank you so much for your help .
Good day. I trust you are well. It's only mentioning former Filipinos and their foreign spouse and family under the first category who can avail the Balikbayan privilege. I am a Filipino (not a former Filipino) whose been outside the Philippines for many years and got married to a foreign spouse. Does the Balikbayan privilege still apply to my foreign spouse and kids?
Hello Jennifer.. so i’m planning to stay in the philippines only about 10 months.. so i can just keep extending my stay right? .. come back to the US and stay for two months.. then go back again in the philippines and do the same thing all over again right??.. please advice.. thanks!
Great video Jennifer Please can you tell me if it true After 36 months I can leave the Philippines for 1 day and return and start again with 30 days and so on Thanks I have a girlfriend that wants me to stay as long as I can

@@nomennescio7457 i left davao airport February 2020 i was charged 500 pesos in exit fee..

I noticed when I recently went to the Philippines with my family in February my arrival stamp said "stay until" with the date being exactly a year from the current date on the stamp.(I'm a Fil-Am born) Would the balikbayan program still apply to me when I travel there again later in the year by myself or would I have to apply for tourist visa / extension? Another question is that would I need to have the tourist visa before hand if I decide to apply for extensions in the Philippines?
Pag nag book ng ticket at ginawang for 2 months from arrival to departure. Kasi may free entry visa then mag extend ng another 29 days. Okay lang po ba di ma question?
I am a filipina, does my taiwanese husband need to apply visa. He will only stay at phils for 20 days only
I have a ticket for 59 days ,but can’t extend cos have to have a ticket for only 30 days, but if I had a 30 day ticket to extend but if I wanted to
Extend I’d have to change my ticket which would cost me more money to change my ticket to stay. I’ve messaged you on Facebook messenger but nothing .
Hi Jen , I’m a Dual Citizen , this coming July uwi kami sa Pinas with my American Husband ang nabili namin ticket stay in Philippines for 50 days . Ok Lang ba yon ?
What if you want to live more than 36 months?
Hi JENNIFER, I’ve applied for dual citizenship here in the Philippines last year September. As of now,I’m still waiting for my certificate. My balikbayan visa expires in 3 weeks.am I considered as Filipino citizen now or do I have to extend my balikbayan visa and what’s the cost. Thanks
Thk you
Hi Jennifer ! Thanks for the update . Can my mother in law a US citizen is considered a balikbayan if she’ll be traveling with her dual citizen son to Philippines ? Thank you so much for your help .
Butuan city will give 6 month extensions
Good day. I trust you are well. It's only mentioning former Filipinos and their foreign spouse and family under the first category who can avail the Balikbayan privilege. I am a Filipino (not a former Filipino) whose been outside the Philippines for many years and got married to a foreign spouse. Does the Balikbayan privilege still apply to my foreign spouse and kids?
Can my American husband apply for visa extension upon arrival at NAIA, at the Immigration thereafter.
just wish to know whether I have to pay anything upon going back to America. By the way I am a balikbayan or green card holder
