This is Phil, Maria's husband. Maria finally applied and got her British Passport. We are all going back to the Philippines in July, I have looked at the Philippine Embassy website, and it did not provide me with an answer to my very simple question. How long can we all stay in the Philippines travelling on British passports? Maria have been very unhelpful, and told me to do my research, so here I am.
Thank you,
Phil.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.
Has she re-acquired her Philippines citizenship? If so she can obviously stay indefinitely. If she hasn't, but can prove she was a Philippines citizen to the immigration officer (old passport, etc) then she should be given a stamp for one year. In either case you will be given a year (might need to prove you are married).Originally Posted by maria_and_matt

You go to the Bureau of immigration, local to wherever you are...Of course it will cost you, to do this.
Hi Phil,
Tish here
Whenever we all travel to Philippines we all get balikbayan stamp which is valid for 1 year stay.
Hope this helps,
Phil you say your going back in july whats your intention in terms of staying?
The balikbayan is for sure the easy and cheapest option and if for example you were planing to settle you would have plenty of time to apply for a 13a actually its your missis that applies for her foreign husband pm me if you want any more info on these

It is Not a visa or something that can be applied for at an embassy or elsewhere in the UK.. It is a privilege offered at the discretion of immigration officers at R.P air or sea ports after certain requirements have been fulfilled on arrival..Try searching for balikbayan visa for more details.
is one of the requirements a brown envelope
So cynical...but probably very true?is one of the requirements a brown envelope
Actually seems to be the opposite, never had any problems getting it ourselves and money has never changed hands.So cynical...but probably very true?
Well that depends Joe..Depends on if you have brought your wife along or not..is one of the requirements a brown envelope
If she is not accompanying you than 20 quid in your PP can usually by pass that particular requirement..
Lots of guys working off shore with their wife here in the R.P that do this type of thing quite regularly when coming back home to P.I...
Saves them a fortune in constant visa fees till they decide to go back to work.
Or just in case the requirements have not been completely fulfilled, you just slip P1000 inside your passport when you hand it over to the immigration officer.
If only life could always be that simple!!Or just in case the requirements have not been completely fulfilled, you just slip P1000 inside your passport when you hand it over to the immigration officer.
greetings phil,,, if you have a british passport you can extend for 2months and then every 2 months after this for 16months, after that you have to write a letter explaining that you wanna extend and they wll extend for a further 6months.....but...if you go to the philippine immingration the day you arrive in the philippines they will give you a one year free pass....not sure of the payment but i don think its much
unlike me....when i went to extendd i found out this little piece of info about the one year stay....and was disappointed!!! because i benn here now for 16months and have had to extend every 2months! around 3000 pesos a time
Better than that in fact!! No charge for BB when travelling with Mrs...but...if you go to the philippine immingration the day you arrive in the philippines they will give you a one year free pass....not sure of the payment but i don think its much
