If you have a concern probably better to get an extension for 59 days upon arrival at Manila airport.
Otherwise extensions are available at the various BI offices.

[carlo63]

BI = Bureau of Immigration

this one is better,there you can see all the countrys.

[carlo63]

yes it should maybe be easier,but then I have to send passport flight tickets etc etc.you know long time it will take at the airport in manila?

[irishman12]

shouldnt take too long -depends on queue -it should cost around 3030 peso -have you connecting flight same day or stay over in manila for a while

[irishman12]

Visa Extension possible in Manila Airport
When I flew into the Manila International Airport just a month ago, I went to the tiny immigration office right before you clear immigration and paid somewhere around $60-$70 to get my visa extension stamped into my passport.

This is WAY easier than going to the offices in town and cheaper than using a travel agent.

FYI, if you're going to extend it do it when you land, it took me like 8 minutes!!

[carlo63]

it looks like it is the same price doing there or here,think I do it when I landed
will stay 2-3 days maybe before contineu,

[carlo63]

will stay 2-3 days before continey to Her home town.

Odd how on the Swedish site it says 30 day visa-free for UK nationals, but on the Phils London Embassy site it still gives 21 days.

[carlo63]

Thanks for all replys
it was very helpfull
will soon start a new Tread.

[carlo63]

guess it is better to make a call but think it was from the begining of may they had that announsment so it is very new.

[grahamw48]

Yes, good to see the Philippines govt is working with their usual efficency.
