Visa to the Philippines

[waytogo297]

As I suspected, the answer is complicated, as anything seems to be in relation to the Philippines.
I have also learned, there rarely is there any definitive answer or even a place you can get that answer, rather it seems you have to listen to what others experience themselves and say and try to find more information yourself and finally push through the paperwork and bureaucracy as a learn as you go experience.

It's also made more complicated in that often, people can achieve the same thing by different methods.

Thanks for all the answers though.

I don't see any complication in either securing tourists visa's for Philippines or in securing a BB stamp.
The rules are very cleary stated.
The complications are usually only seen when folk do not follow the rules.

It seems to me that the complication for you is in the plan you have for 6 months UK then 6months Philippines.
It's not a stable situation that easily sits with the immigration rules of either country.

Just my opinion on what I read
