Where to apply visa??????

[DaveUK]

Your visa extension in Cebu doesnt take an hour or two nowadays,I was in-and-out in 30 minutes in march,maybe they are trying to justify the "Express" service fee they charge,even though you dont pay less if you ask for the "Standard" service,they just give you an odd look Get there first thing and your whisked through the process,very simple nowadays,your even given a nice letter as you leave with an official crest telling anyone you show it to that the Philippines doesnt consider you a danger either to the country or its citizens

How much did that cost you fella? I've been looking on the net and am a bit confused as I keep finding what I assume is a breakdown of costs, but not sure if only some or all is applicable!

Dave,I just checked my passport(glad I did because I found a £50 note and 2 thousand pesos I stashed for emergencies)my extension cost 3030 pesos,they asked how long I wanted,I just said "Give me a month more mate" which I got,dont know how long I would have got had I been a little cheeky,if you dont ask you dont get,but there was an immigration officer sitting on the seats customer side of the screen,Fixer?Who knows,its sometimes worth chatting to people like that

Thx for the info fella.

My whole trip is 5 weeks long so we can get married, but in the middle of that we go to Hong Kong for 4 or 5 nights for the honeymoon. Unfortunately though, we won't leave for the honeymoon until my 25th or 26th day in Phils! Very annoying!

I wanted to take Yam there over a weekend so she could see Statue Square. Been to HK 4 times now. Twice for work, twice for holiday and it always amazes me how packed that place gets on a Sunday!

Sad to admit though, but even after 4 visits I've only managed as much as the peak and Mong Kok night market! Although every time I go to HK, I always make sure I go up to the peak twice. Once during the day, once at night. I never get bored of the view from up there!

Statue square on a lunchtime is an incredible sight wall-to-wall-women When I was 19 years old viewing it for the first time it was terrifying Once I learnt the rules of the game it was interesting I was outnumbered by about 1000 women to each guy
I remember the peak back in the late 80's early 90's,its all built up now,times are changing,but disney,ocean-park,stanley market,mong kok market,temple street night markets are a must for a woman,all those clothes and so little time to buy them in Enjoy your honeymoon

Cheers fella. Thank god I persuaded my parents to pay for the honeymoon. I made sure the total cost I gave to them included a bit of spending, so I'm covered for the markets!
