when ur future wife arrives in UK for sure you will spend twice of thatOriginally Posted by swayze
and more extras with her family in Phils unless they are well off back home then you should have no prob.
Just let your fiancee sort's everything out for you there so when you get there all sorted.
Good luck
james hubbard can you tell more about this balikbayan visa mate the year one
The only way for you to obtain a balikbayan visa would be to enter the Philippines together with your Filipina wife.
Other way is to enter alone, normally, with the customary 21 days visa from immigration, and have it renewed at the usual intervals.
Hi swarze Im not james but I can tell you that the Balikbayan visa is a priviledge given to the spouse and dependents of Fillipina/os returning to the phils after an absence of a year or more
Sometimes they are awarded after a trip for example to Hong Kong for the weekend cant think why
I presume your in the Phils now having got married? I havnt read all this thread or looked up your posts but if you are and intend staying there are other options 13a for example or you can of course just keep renewing every 59 days for a year or so and then leave to hong kong return the next day and start again

thanks keith but i was told you ad to renew every 21 days how is 59 days poss
The first 21 days is a visa waiver whith in that time you apply for an extension at the local office which gives you 59 days and last year cost 2570 piso
then befor that expires you apply for a further extension 59 days which WAS 3800
and so on if your there longer than 6months you will have to get exit clearance get fingerprinted etc befor leaving but if you exit for the day and return it all starts again that could of course change without notice.

This has been mentioned before, but the extension visa seems to vary in price, depending how much they want to rip you off for.
When I extended mine for 59 days, it cost 5000 something.
I remember Arthur saying his varied in price too.
Its probably improving slightly now as its all computerised no more room for the fixers plus if you do try that route it will be picked up on exiting as its a central system the expreess line fee is still a subject of debate
PS dont forget to keep all and any reciepts that are printed on grey paper with all the costs dont settle for just the handwritten bits on the stamp in your passport

Once your married it will become joint ownership. Your name can be on the documents, but if she dies before you do it won't mean a damn thing because the house will then become your property, but the land that it stands on will become the property of her nearest Filipino relatives and as others have found in the past, those relatives that you may have given many a handout to over the years will suddenly only want to talk to you through their attorney.
I believe you can own property but you are not allowed to own land.
Before investing any money in property anywhere in Asia it is a good idea to spend a LOT of time researching the net and canvasing opinion of those who have done that
