You can re-new on payment ..for another 59 days.

I think its a maximum of 2 years but you need to check at the 12 month point. AND you are supposed to have a valid return air ticket.

Obvioulsy if you plan on staying more than 21 days...its better to apply at the embassy in London and pay there... it avoids any opportunist pricing.

Hope that helps...

( edit) PS... the extension to 59 days assumes you did this "on a whim" to further your stay as other will advise...if you PLAN on a 59/60 stay....see the above last line

For opportunist pricing read kano or white man's tax. It's supposed to be the same everywhere, a price fixed by the Philippine government, but as you will have read in previous postings, if your a whitey, what you will be charged can vary wildly. Here are the official prices http://immigration.gov.ph/index.php?...=118&Itemid=43
