I came to Manila on the 15th April with a oneway ticket intending to get married here. I was asked by the imigration officer how long I intended to stay to which I replied at least 2 months. He said that he would make out a visa for me. I had no money at the time and he told me where the nearest ATM machine was. When I got back another man was waiting for me who showed me my passport saying he had put 12 month visa. He then asked for 5000p which I knocked him down to 3500. I have since found out that all I got was the entry stamp.
I never checked too much as I never thought a airport staff would have done this to me.
I take it that I will now have to get this extended? Will I do this in Manila?
