So my wife can show her current Filipino passport and hide her current Brit passport and she won't have to do battle with the f***wits at immigration who don't actually know the new laws, and probably won't for several years?
Or am I being cynical
hmm Paul, your wife may show her Filipino passport of course, but it means that you and your dependant child would be entitled to balikbayan visa privilidge, so if you wanted to stay for longer than 21 days, you are no longer required to visit the Phiilippine Embassy in L ondon to obtain a visitors visa in excess of the 21 days, i.e. the 59 day visa, which I had last year, you mut of course inform immigration at your port of arrival that you wish to avail yourself ot this privilidge, as it is called, (sounds like they think they are doing us a favour) but having said that, it just m eans that the foreign spouse...doesnt have to have a tourist visa, to visit his wifes country, which I think is much better than the procedure before.
Ok its worth knowing isnt it
