I will ask my friend how she helped a friend with same situation like you.
I cannot promise you, but who knows, she can give you advise.
jw23 don't quite understand why you would overstay your visa, seems a bit stupid when it is so easy to get extensions. And if you did the same in Indonesia, you'd have the same problem. And if Filipino did it in the UK, well the probably wouldn't see the UK again!
As for corruption, being conned etc. Well if you don't know the language, don't know the culture and walk in put your money down, its very easy to get duped. You'd probably find the same problem in any of the South East Asian countries... sorry if its a bit harsh, just the way i see it.
I received a reply from my friend but it's in tagalog.
I will translate later. Or can anybody here help me translate please.
Hello Penny,
Bakit kasi nag overstay? Napakasimply naman mag renew ng visa sa immigration. Well it depends kung ano ang plano nya. Kung gusto nya pa mag stay sa pinas mag renew talaga sya. But kung gusto nya ng umuwi sa UK mag pa deport na lang sya.
If ever gusto nya pang mag stay ng pinas punta lang sya ng immigration then pay the penalty because still depends to immigration if they can still give him/her an extension even he will use an agency they cannot do anything about it. peperahan lang sya ng agency...I have a frien their that processing visa extension in immigration but i am not intouch with her anymore. Pero kung gusto mo talaga i refer ko sya sa agency i give you a name and address of agency but im sure instead of payment the right amount he/she will pay 2X or 3x alam mo naman process saten specially british yan.
My friend owned a travel agency before but she's living in New Zealand.
Sometimes, there's no impossible in our country if you have money. But that is something bad against our system if you will tolerate fixer.![]()
Hi Penny
Why did he overstay as it is very simple to renew at Immigration? It depends on his plan, if he still wants to stay, then he really needs to renew, but if he wants to go home, then let him wait to be deported.
If he wants to stay, visit immigration office and they will let him pay penalties, but still depends with immigration if they will give him extension. Travel agency has nothing to do with it, they will just after his money. I have a friend at immigration office but I'm no longer in touch with her anymore. But if you really want, I can give you her address and agency but it cost 2-3 times amount of the right payment.
Sorry but as what I have said, there's sometimes no impossible with our system if you have the money, but I will not let myself to get involve and tolerate anybody to do such.![]()
Hello jw23! You got yourself into a real mess! I am sorry I am saying this - really a lot to learn on this. And with one of your posts on this thread 'TRUST NO ONE' ... totally agree with you - but let us not say that it is just, fine and okay to do whatever we wish to do without obeying policies of Immigration at that. Well, you've done it now. I hope you would be able to solve your problems. Anoher word though, don't add more mistakes to what what has already been done. Changing names? Be very careful. Good luck!
