common sense would dictate that you conduct the interview in a quiet location rather than all the background traffic noise which makes your video difficult to understand
One important bit of information missing from this video on the six month extensions is that the current ban does not apply to those entering the Philippines under the spousal Balikbayan program evinced by their BB passport entry stamp. I just received my first six month extension after my one year free stay here in the RP under the Balikbayan Program. JRC has since updated this information so no worries if you're married to a Filipino and entered with your spouse under Balikbayan.
My guess concerning the extensions would be to generate more money incrementally while attempting to streamline the system via the internet or just in general. They still need to have the timelines coincide re: both the visa extensions and the driver's license requirement for it to make sense along with reducing the bureaucratic bottlenecking at the LTO offices.
My 1-year work visa in Japan costs only $35 USD for the entire year. Sometimes, I receive a 3-year visa for the same price. Could you imagine if the Philippine gov’t only charged $35/year instead of $35/month?! Greed at it’s best.
@@davewright9313 Hi Dave. Do you live in the PHs? Thanks for the info. I never heard renewing the tourist visa in the PHs was $60/month. $60 USD?! I’m Canadian, so for me, that would be $80 CDN! Is it really $60 USD/month??! Unbelievably expensive just for an immigration official to stamp your passport or update your alien registration card each month. The PHs should do 1-year visa’s for $60. I pay only ¥4000/year ($30 USD for a full 12 months in Japan).
Thank you for this info. The week before you leave the Philipines, if you want a visa extension, do you need to schedule your appointment at the immigration online and/or do you need to fill out an application before showing up? And do they need a proof of income document or just your passport and a coopy of it? I also assume you need an onward ticket EVERY time you apply for an extension? Thank you!!
Thanks for the info mate. I can't believe 2.7k views and only 761 subs. Come on gang support Sebastian ! As you grow a mic would be good to drown out the background noise. Keep vlogging mate
It is a major pain in the azz to go to BI office, huge mistake if u don't di 6 months anymore, i wont be back, many i know wont be back, other places are more fun if your going to take away the advantage of 6 months vida, hello Medellin colombia, thialand, etc
I convereted my USA license to PHI license before I was here 6 months. A better question: the Dumaguete reuires a 6 months visa to be eligible to do this conversion. I went to Bais and they did it. Now how screwed up is the LTO...There are no 6 month visas, but you need6 Months to get a Philippines license at the Dumaguete LTO.
6 month option is NO longer shown on the E-services website, and I'm 64, so the over age "60" thing means nothing . I've used this the last 3 extensions, so much easier and faster. I bought a printer to print out my receipts once completed the extension process. Sucks ya can't get 6 months anymore. I used JRC last year and got 6 months that time only. Here 2 years in July, plan to marry within the next (3rd)year, and get past all this extension stuff and expense lol

So your sayin the PI is totally fucked up, I've been driving on my expired California DL since Sept of 2019. No one cares cause I live in Batangas/Sta Rosa area, do I drive in Manila, fuck no, I'm not that crazy. My wife got mad at me so she threw away my birth cert, totally fuckin my life over, no DL, no ACLi card, no bank account, ect. I'm 79 so I gotta hide in the filipins till I die so I cant get deported or jailed or whatever........
One thing I know about about The Philippines rules and regulations is that people spread rumors and then everybody reacts. It just confuses thing even more.,., That's why Vloggers who talks about Immigrations rules changes and flight information and Visa rules coming to The Philippines are always busy making videos. Normally Expats who have the time would go to Immigration offices and do the visa extensions themself to save money,., why would you pay 2K+ pesos for someone to do it for you?
For 2K+ pesos ($35+) you get all questions answered if you have any questions plus it helps the PH economy. The more we help, the more they like us. The more they like us, the more rules will change in our favor.
@@theydontknow9260 ,., Did you know that you can do an online extension all by yourself? Immigration doesn't even post a sign or memos in their immigration area,., because they want you to come in person, so they have a chance to pounce on you to make money for themself.
Not True. I have been here 4 1/2 years collecting my USA Social Security without any issues. I have it Direct Deposited to my USA Bank Account, then transferred by WISE when I choose.
Don't hire JRC. Easy as heck to do it online. 11300 peso for 6 months extension with ACR card. ACR choose pick up at dumaguette satellite office. Really do all online and stop wasting your time going to the Duma BI office.

Glad to see Robert Plant taking such an interest in the Philippines. I just subscribed.
I thought the same
NOISY
what a bad location for an interview
🙄
I just renewed my visa online for six months, took me less than 20 minutes !
Wow interesting thanks for that information mate
I have heard that over 60s (senior citizens) can still get 6 month extensions.
Do they accept PayPal online?
Not sure about that , but they do accept Visa or Master Card
Which immigration did you go?
I live in Bohol and received my 6 month Tourist Visa renewal last week.
Wow ok
Just another example how the Philippine government, and in this case the NBI, applies requirements differently from office to office.
Please do the interview in a quiet place so we can try to understand the heavily accented English.
Thanks
No rooster noise either

I think if you are over 60 you can still get 6mo. Extension. Jrc was on Gios channel he said that. Also how do you pay online?
Ok I will check it out and do a up date thanks heaps mate
I'm not near that age and just got my 6 month. Did it online
Had a problem when in person but online there are no office people to deal with, so no problems. Paid using Gcash. Very quick and painless transaction
Audio is terrible - and - extremely hard to understand !
If you cant hear it, turn on the closed caption and read what they are saying.

Just passport and just go imagination office easy
Just do it online anytime. We've completed 3 online so far.
You don't need to show an onward ticket when you get the visa extension
I was told no 6 month visa unless your married obviously a way to extract more money
Possible cheers
I'm not married. Just got my 6 month online.
@@FilipinaAndTheForeigner that was what I was told in lapu lapu even asked if I was married.
@@davewright9313 Yes it seems like there are different responses wherever you go
Me too. 60+ years old or married to a Phillipina was what they told me after moving the Immigration office to boot.
Translation: their spaghetti power grid is symbolic of how all things work in the Philippines
Lol but we are here so I'm sure things are improving in Philippine time thanks for watching mate

That’s useful intel on visa extension also the drivers license info (90 days on home license) is important even if you’re just visiting
Yup don't want to get stopped at a check point here
Try buying a one year International License before you arrive in the Phils from your home country

Interesting and good content-Sebastian, that dude was a real nice man.
Couldn't agree more! He is great
We just completed our 3rd ONLINE extension. It was for 6 months. Literally a couple of days ago. Doing it Online is more convenient 🌟
Wow 😲 ok

Immigration and LTO should be two different offices this is what is confusing but that’s the Philippines nobody knows what the others are doing . 😊
They are different for sure
Any links for that mans business please -
He does mention his contact details in the video but it's JR consult in Cebu manila or dumaguete mate thanks for watching. Cheers
JRC office is located just before you get in immigration office in Duma. Down a narrow walkway
