sngbm87 16 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 16 months and after that you need to go see the head in Manila. Bureau Chief. If you have a legal valid reason or a pecular situation out of your control and nothing is wrong. He will approve. Link to post Share on other sites
redboy 41 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I understand there is now a new schedule ( new to me) for renewal of tourist visas? After a period of time you must renew for one month then every other renewal is alternating from 2 months to one month. can any one confirm this? Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying you got a BB stamp for coming in with your son? I've never heard of a parent getting BB. The BI site only mentions spouses and children or did you forget to mention your wife was with you? Link to post Share on other sites
Happynaess 2 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 No, I am divorced. I come to Phil with my son only and I was granted status BB(balikbayan). My son did not need a stamp. He got status PP(pasaporte) in the norwegian passport when he showed his Ph passport. What I was informed then asked in Ph Embassy in Norway: Now they say "travel with family"(read near/close family) Link to post Share on other sites
sjp 316 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 My wife and I will be living 6 months in Canada and 6 months in Philippines, Would the BalikBayan pass be the way to go or would it be better to get a 13a ? Balikbayan is free where 13a cost money, Is there benefits to having a 13a over Balikbayan. I realize that a Balikbayan is not always guaranteed but Think it is around 99% Link to post Share on other sites
NRG 76 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi Scott, if you are only here for 6 months at a time stick with a Balik Bayan visa as they are good for 12 months, if you decided you wanted to retire here in the future for good, then is the time to get your 13a sorted out. You should never have a problem getting a Blaik Bayan visa if your wife who i presume is filipino is standing by your side when you go through immigration. Link to post Share on other sites
malcolm 0 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I`m a Canadain married to a Filipina, so I get the BalikBayan visa. So I am wondering, can my son, who is not filipino, ( so he would be my wife's stepson ) get the BalikBayan stamp if he comes with us to the Phils??? We usually stay seven weeks when we go there.

JohnTB 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 16 months. I'm on month 12. My extensions have cost anywhere from P2,100 to P4,300. Everyone is talking "EXTENSIONS" - does the PI not have a one year VISA (renewable annually) such as the Thai Retirement VISA [for 'old' expats over age 50 with sone financial requirements and it costs 1,900 Baht/year ($60 USD +/-) and if you wish to leave Thailand and reenter and retain this VISA - a single reentry stamp costs 1,000 Baht ($30 +/-). A 'multi-entry stamp, good for unlimited comings and goings for the full year, costs 3,900 Baht ($120 USD +/-). or an annually renewable "Marriage" VISA???? Link to post Share on other sites
