Looking for an Immigration Lawyer who knows Filipino Immigration Law.

...however,u can come and visit philippines 21days and extend your visa for3months and +3months and further more stay to that is not considered a holiday.

sars, this is not quite right.

Nic can get 21 days at entry,
then he will need to get 38 day extension to allow him to stay total 59 days
(21+38)

The major problem (as I see it) is that at any visa extension where he is required to attend it can get a little more complicated as there is a regulation for fingerprints and police clearance may be required (almost certainly for staying past 6 months ).
Additionally he would be subject to questions relating to a criminal background check.

If this would happen at first extension of 38 days I don't know, maybe not as a travel agent can do this one.

not our problem now terpe...as philippine law is not as extensive as the us and uk ,there is a new law that has been passed 2010 called Philippine Immigration Act of 2009 http://www.senate.gov.ph/lis/bill_re...=14&q=SBN-3404 It confuses and amuses me even more (the law allows BI to grant extensions for up to 24months where it used to be up to 16months...in cebu after 16months a foreigner can file motion for reconsideration theres no guarantee for approval etc)the law is more complex and giving the BI more flexibility i would say ,the law allows it but it doesnt requires it ..its all completely up to the BI..
my conclusion is that it is the Philippines ,cultures etc no matter how our law is should still be respected like anybody elses.
