I have read various web site and it seems that you can now get 30 days free visa from 1st of August 2013. Have anyone here had their passport stamped with 30 days on arrival?

Is it possible to get everything done from exchanging CNI to getting married within that 30 days? or is that not enough.

If thats not enough of days, can I book a return flight ticket for 59 days stay and just extend the visa when I get to Philippines? I have been trying to get the 59 days visa here in the UK but they wanted my bank statement etc etc. Im on paperless and for some reason Im not having much luck getting the paper bank statements from Lloyds.

Cheers
