Having got married in Burauen in February, my wife's visa has now been granted We suspect that my being a widower when my previous wife also a Filipina died 7 years ago caused the delay. Seems they would not believe their own records but we got there in the end going out on the 16th to and the 2 of us will return on the 22nd. ..

Noticed an odd thing when I booked the flight through Expedia. The site suggests you check the need for a visa and this states an English person needs a tourist visa to go to the Philippines. I've never had to on the previous 10 trips, so does anyone know if this is another new requirement?
