      Hi ShyMan
      I paid 95,000 to Immigration and 20,000 for airfares to Manila including accommodation Medical test.  Now I think they are asking 250K to 300K and that was 2 years ago.
      To renew the Visa I paid 6,500 and 310 pesos per year.   Its cheap for me back then as I am not married.........my partner here is a Administrative Officer/Bureau of Immigration Liaison Officer she was the one to go to Cebu as I gave her A special power of Attorney.
