one year Philipppines VISA on arrival?

[fred]

Blackcat.. No such thing as a one year visa here.. Check the B.I website to see if you can find one.
If I were you,I would go in on day 20 as you usually would and ask them about it.
BTW.. Sars gave you WRONG info..
Balikbayan is not a visa and you only get one if traveling in with wifey.
You would know if you had one because the stamp says BALIKBAYAN on it.

Again... It is NOT a visa!!
If it were you could apply for one at the British embassy!!
Please try to post factual info only as it could cause members problems in the future.
Thanks.

Balikbayan one-year visa-free stay


Balikbayans – any overseas Filipino returning to the Philippines, including former Filipinos who have acquired foreign citizenship – can stay in the Philippines without a visa for a period of one year. The balikbayan visa-free stay privilege is extended to the balikbayan’s non-Filipino spouse and children, provided they enter the Philippines with the balikbayan.

..........

Anyway, I think blackcat will not be in trouble , it wasnt his fault that they stamped the wrong date/year ..he can actually, pay his extension fee before he exits the Philippines in one of the airports .

CORRECT !

..and good advice about going in at the correct time for 'extension of stay' (THAT being the time when you'll be issued a VISA).

Don't take chances with immigration or you may find yourself locked up in one of the world's worst jails.
