update on police check

[cheekee]

The updated news is that tourist visa free privilege for British Citizens will be increased from the current 21 days to a new stay of 30 days.
I think this is from 1 August 2013

The next level up is for a 59 day visa which needs to be paid for.
This can be secured upon arrival at the immigration office in the airport or can be secured beforehand from the Philippine Embassy in London.
Either by post or personal appearance.


Take a look here Cheekee for details of the visa application form.

Have a special look at question 16

Thank you Terpe.

Sadly I had a conviction when I was 18 for theft under section 1. I bought a second hand car from a so called friend and it had a stolen tax disc in it. I got stopped by the police and I didn't admit who the car belonged to so copped it.

Its considered spent now but Im worried about when it comes to the time I want to visit for 56 days. Will they refuse me over that ?. Should I admit it. Will they check ?

Sorry to hijack this thread.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

I can't help you with answers to those questions Cheekee. Sorry.

It may be a better option to extend the standard 30 day visa free privilege at the airport upon arrival, or even after arrival at a BI office (Often a reputable travel agent will do this on your behalf for a small fee)
Now I've no recent experience of doing this so don't know what forms are required or questions asked.

Hopefully someone who has done this recently will read this and provide an answer.

I think starting a new thread on 59 day visa on arrival may yield better repsonse.
