Now, if you marry your g,f you can get a yearly visa stamp because you,re married to a Filipina. Hope this helps, it,s a very easy process to do depending on where you renew it will depends how long it takes. My local immigration here in Bacolod takes about half hour, but if you do it in Manila well, that can take all day lol
Not quite correct - as Graham says the visa waiver is now 30days but it may be best to apply for 1st 59 day visa in Ireland and then apply extensions at nearest BOI - or if near Manila or Cebu -could possibly get 6 month extensions instead of every 2 months.
