Is their a P visa. I am going to Angeles and would end a P visa
And a fee to every type; generating income for the country.
Source?
Also aims to enhance their bank accounts 💵😉✌
This will be good move if all briberies are removed from all departments in the Philippine government especially the department of immigration and department of transportation. And all airport staff including security are replaced due to deep corruption and briberies. They are all connected to each other and must be stop.
Who on earth would come to the Philippines for a two week holiday if they need police clearance to leave .
You won't. Only if you stay longer than your initial visa allows.
You only need a police clearence after 6 months
They Just want to make sure that you leave without money..
Watching from Brampton, Ontario, Canada❤❤❤❤❤
I definitely had to like, Subscribed and Shared !!! This Video !!! I have done alot of research on this topic and will do more on marriage and also to possibly dual citizenship citizenship !!! And have also researched and study alot of different and updates on Philippines Law as I become an Ex-Pat to Retire and live outside the USA !!! 🤗 !!!
Go to Cambodia. Straight forward 295usd 1 year multiple entry exit visa.
Do the Philippines Immigration Officers stop asking for bribes? I know a couple of years back, there was this significant eye-opening incident that was published in all the major Philippines newspapers, how Buraue of Immigration officers in Manila extorted foreign nationals and forced them to bribe the officers. Also, if you talk to any immigration lawyer in the Manila area, they will typically ask for double fees, as, according to them, 50% will go to bribe immigration officers. This is a shameful practice at the Philippines governmental level and should be stopped.
You mean the bullet in the luggages...
Probably not they know we're rich and can easily afford it.
I believe that’s history. If you don’t want an expedited transaction, don’t pay the bribe. It takes two to tango.
Thanks for your suggestion unfortunately im still sitting here in
Bilibid Prison.
@@JunBermz@JunBermz Where do u get your belief? Is this based on evidence? Or just on the fly?
@@thomasauslander3757 OMG .. u sound so bright - smart like a POS.
USA should apply the same rules when Philippine citizens enter...
No work!
@@davidhopewell9454 ..go to any western country and the filipinos are everywhere doing jobs and owning land businesses and houses ...if you think that foreigners are doing the same in the philippines then please tell me where because i cannot see it.
Will this mean you will be able to apply for your ACR-I card at the same time as first extensing your A2 visa beyond the 59 days or are they going to extend applying for this?
Please share more about the "Startup" Visas. Does that have to do with start-up companies or organizations looking to establish their offices in the Philippines, please?
Yeah, I'd like to know this too.
4:44 does this part apply to a 30 day visa upon arrival for tourists or only for foreign nationals living in the Philippines ?
When will the new law go into effect? I have a visit planned in June. I would like to stay 59 days. Its so difficult to see a consular in Texas to get an extension. Please reply. Thanks
Can you let us know the date they will vote for changes?
What will the old 13A spousal visa be under the new class.
Let me look into the immigrant visa categories.
Thanks for all your videos.
I AM WONDERING IS THE 13 A VISA STAYING THE SAME OR ARE THEY CHANGING THAT TOO
So is the visa waiver program going to stay the same? 29 days and possible 30 day extension? And would the exit clearance nit apply then if staying under 59 days on visa waiver?
I too expect to apply for a SRRV visa as retired military, bu in question is the ruling says Retired members of military in "officer Ranks. Does that include "non-commissioned officers such as Naval Petty Officers?
yes, basically anyone with a DD-214
The word Officers means any commissioned and non commissioned officer is valid. Your DD214 must be an honorable discharge.
I’ve know several people who have applied, The main 3 things that you MUST have before even applying are: 1. Monthly Military Pension ( $1000 single, $1500 with partner) 2. Have a Military Certificate of Discharge paperwork. 3. Have a Military Certificate of Service paperwork.
That’s the basic requirements to start the process, if you don’t have evidence of Pension Bank payments, original military documents then don’t bother applying.
Any good agency that is doing this process for you won’t go attempt to apply for you without those 3 main requirements, if they do then you may be wasting your money as you will hit a hurdle down the line to halt your process and money / deposit possibly wasted.
Will B2 visa holders be able to do multiple extensions out to 36 months as previously allowed? Are there price increases. Because as of now its just about the most expensive visa in SE Asia. Express lane fees still on or MANDATORY depending where you are.
I planned on going to Phillipines in June for about 2 weeks. Would I need an A-2 Visa or just a passport. When does this go into effect.
I think some of this is already being implemented. For example, immigration offices no longer offer 6 month visa extensions and limit the extensions to 3 months. Also, an exit clearance is already required after staying for 6 months or more. Unfortunately, the new rules seem to be making it harder, not easier, for foreigners to stay in the Philippines.
yes, there beginning to charge alot more.. unless you get married your paying 2x as much now. Instead of paying extensions every 6 months, now you gotta go in 4 times a year!! Thats such a big hassle! I would rather for them to charge more for the 6 months extensions and let us do it, Then to in-convince us 4 times a year.
I got a 6 month visa 2 weeks ago in Bohol
You can still get 6 months visa for tourist in manila I just did but not at first
They'd rather people send money to Philippines from abroad rather than have them in the country.
Not so much when you are retired here.@@user-bf5fi4ss2q
Hi Iam a US citizen and have a mother and brother in Philippines to visit. Am I allowed to stay for 30 days?.
if in any case that I will stay more than 30 days, how many days am I allowed and where and how will I get the extension to stay? Regarding Exit clearance, where and how to do it. do I get the initial exit clearance upon arrival to Philippines for 30 days? And then another exit clearance if I stay more than 30 days? Pls advise and kindly respond to these questions, previously I did asked you but no response ,or make a video regarding these questions for everybody’s info. Thanks.
Has anything changed for a US citizen traveling from the US to visit for less than 30 days? Can that still be done just on a US passport
You must show a valid airline ticket for your departure within your alloted 30 day visit.
Yes.
I just arrived in Philippines 3 days ago. US citizens still get 30 days free but you have to show a confirmed AIRLINE TICKET proving you're leaving before day 30.
Be aware the airlines here are not to be counted on. Delayed or cancelled flights are a constant thing. Better schedule your departure by 26 days so you have time to book another ticket. JUST FYI, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR CANCELLED FLIGHTS.
so do we still get the 30 day visa on arrival?
Would enrolling in a Tagalog course while in the Philippines violate the provisions of the tourist visa laws?
What about visa on arrival 408 is this still active or what is update on this? Also i am married in the philippines for a long but still travelling with visa on arrival since 2012
I've been there 5 times but never had any process for leaving after 30 days, please explain what's going on where I'm needing apply to leave? Huh? Wth?
Oh, it's for longer stays.
What kind of visa for my american husband to spent vacation and meet my family.
So assuming there is a civil proceeding, does the visa get extended automatically, forever? like how long is an annullment...???
A ullments are years long, tons of attorney fees and bribes.
What changes are coming for spouses of Filipino nationals?
greedy and helpful mean anything ? total BS
Thank you for your quick response. Is there a time limit for my stay in PI? Do I have to purchase round trip tickets?
Yes. It starts out at 30 days at the moment. You must have a return or onward bound ticket within that 30 days time period. Having said that, many people who are planning on staying for longer can go to the immigration office soon after arrival and begin the process for an extension up to 59 days. And then the next one is 6 months at this point. I usually buy a ticket to Thailand or something for my onward bound ticket. Then you have proof and you don't have to go to Thailand if you get the extended visa done within the first 30 days.
@@makiavelli6101This is very well put…I myself travel there quite a bit, never had any problems, because one has to take into consideration, doing things ahead of time saves worrying later. I have never paid any exit clearance taxes, because I always leave before my time is up. Most people get confused when it’s said that an onward, throw away or exit ticket 🎟️ is required, especially if staying longer than 30 days. Keep it simple and follow the protocols, you’ll be fine. Stay safe my friend 😊
Yes you need to show a ticket out of the Philippines within 30 days of your arrival . For us citizens.
I applied an 30 day extension for my tourist visa last year, they gave me a ARC card i got hit for 7500 pesos,, over 6000 pesos for 30 day extension and 1500 pesos for a ACR card my filipina tried to question, the immigration officer-about the excessive charges, but he just smiled like he was pissed off , at me for some reason,,,same thing when we to pay at the checkout, he added on 1500 and didn’t reply to my GF questions, i was pissed off but kept silent, cause i knew i could get easily banned
A long way to go.
Is there any practical way to check a "derogatory record" in immigration from a foreign country?
Is there any change to outgoing Visa process at all?
Where to apply visa for my american husband? Pagdating ba namin sa Naia ay doon na siya mag apply ng visa?
Great Info. I'm glad that the Philippine Government has not touched the Balikbayan Program, that worried me a bit. As a retired US Customs/Immigration officer, I was interested in how the Philippines used the alphabet system for the non-immigrant visas. The US uses the same method, but looking at them, only the F category is the same. Seems like the Philippines modeled their new system after the US system. I would be interested to see the length of stay for each category and see if they match up. And I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much watching! You are correct, Philippines is modeling after the US system.
I think bribery is not in the US system, you must be referring to another country. Bribery is a culture on this country.
I have a question that's a bit off the subject but does involve the law and a possible lawyer.
My wife's birth certificate date in incorrect . we've been told we need to hire a lawyer and go thru the courts to rectify the error otherwise she cannot get her dual citizenship.
With websites being so good in the PI (chuckle) .. is there a reliable source for finding a lawyer for this? We apparently need to find one in Iloilo City and we have no one there to vouch for any. In addition, would you or one of your followers know approx. how much something like this should cost and the time frame?
Any information would be gratefully and abundantly appreciated.
Hello. I’m a licensed Philippine lawyer but there are changes to the law regarding civil registry and birth certificate correction. Send me a message in my Facebook page and let me see if I can refer a lawyer from Iloilo.
I would've matched the letter of the visas to the reason. B for Business, G for Government, M for Meda and so on. That's it...😊
R retirement
time allowed on the A2 visa is a little confusing. You said 59 days, last update was 30 days. Also, as retired military I plan to apply for the SRRV, would it be better to start the process before I arrive, or wait until I get there? Your videos are great.
No, I think it stays the same as it is now. From most countries you get 30 day visa on arrival, which can be extended to 59 days. This extension is still considered a visa on arrival, only if you extend after that, you can do a normal extension by 1, 2 or 6 months.
What about if I'm a Balik Bayan, this is my question: Do I have to show round trip ticket, and can I only stay for 30 days?
is it possible to change from one non-immigrant visa category to another non-immigrant visa category without leaving the Philippines?
The Philippines Bureaucracy is why many canos are going to Thailand to roost .
I thought expats are leaving Thailand due to the equally confusing new tax law?
They had the exit clearance for ages ..it was waived for stays less than 6 month...after that another fee at the airport..
Hi. Could you please help? Someone I know forgot their Dual Citizen certificate at their home and she is staying more than 30 days in the Philippines and has a return ticket. She has the Etravel, US passport, and boarding pass at the airport. I sent a digital copy of the Dual Citizen certificate to her email. Will she be let in the Philippines without a paper document of the Dual Citizen certificate?
Thank you. Please advise.
She can enter the Philippines on her US passport and get the extension of her visa-on-arrival at the BI desk at the airport or go to the local immigration to get that.
This was really confusing. Under the new immigration law, will I be able to stay 59 days or does it still remain 30 days unless I request the extention of 29 days? I know you don't answer any questions, but would you please do another video and sumarize just what the new law is implying. A lot of he comments have many subscribers lost and confused on the new rule.
The Bureau of Immigration will most likely issue implementing rules for further clarification.
I agree. This should be made simpler to understand.
I don't think this changes at all.
how about foreign nationals staying less than 30days do they need now a visa for this new law?
Looks like we will find out after we get there
Yes, and you do it online within I think 24 hours prior to arriving in country. You need to have a return or onward bound ticket. Just google Philippines and evisa. It was simple enough a few months ago.
@@makiavelli6101complete wrong answer 👎
You don’t need to apply for any visa upfront - don’t bring lies in
You have no clue what you are talking about....evisa needs to be done within 24 hours of entering the country....just to begin with. @@selbstsein967
@@selbstsein967 I want to stay over 1 month in philippines for my next visit .. what shall I do for this ?
How about Temporay Residential visa,
Any changes to this visa, my visa will expire on 10th oct 2024.
May I know whst K must do.
Residential visa are not a part of this bill.
Jocelyn thank you for your video does this replace the 408 Visa do I have to have a visa to travel to the Philippines from my Embassy in America I'm about to travel on April 18th from Tampa Florida to Cebu to be with my wife for her interview with the US Embassy in Manila when they tell us I booked a flight for 30 days just like on the 408 Visa do I need to reschedule this please let me know as soon as possible this is Larry Smith thank you very much God bless
Hello. The new proposed law is not yet implemented but I’m not sure if it’s going to be effective by that time. You can still travel to Philippines without a visa.
Leave all that worrying for the time being and just enjoy your trip to the Philippines come April. It’s highly likely the Senate won’t be able to finish deliberations on the bill by April. If there are serious conflicts between the Senate and the House of Representatives, the bill will have to be discussed in a bicameral committee. Even if the 2 houses of Congres agree on the final version, the bill will still have to be signed by the President. And for the signed law to take effect, it will have to be published. Even after publication, the implementing rules will still have to be drafted by the DOJ/Bureau of Immigration for the law to be implementable. For all you know, by your next trip to the Philippines after your April trip, the law might still not be in force. Take it from me - a Filipino residing in the Philippines.
My wife went to the immigration there in Cebu and they said just to come to them after I get there and they will give me the extension but I'm not sure how long the extension is for is it 3 months 2 months what about the 6 months every time I change it I have to pay as well as the plane ticket has to be paid and changed on a return ticket I would like to think I could get 6 months or a year and pay it all at once that way I don't have to keep changing my ticket do we have to have a return flight in the future there is still a lot of unanswered questions about this new immigration thank you for your comments answers to the comments to you Jocelyn and everybody else thank you
does this mean visa runs are a thing of the past if i come there can i still apply for an extion on my tourist or do i need to leave the country and reenter to get a longer stay?
You can keep extending the visa waiver every 59 days for up to 24 month, used to be 36 month..then you have to leave, return and start again...
Good info thanks
Thank you for watching!
Is the exit clearance now required for a tourist staying less than 30days?
No, an exit clearance is only required after staying 6 months or more.
But according to the new rules it will be required for everyone including tourists that stay for a couple of weeks
No, exit clearance will be required when your stay exceed the initially authorized stay (which I think means after 59 days, or if you had a consular visa after 90 days).
So these visa's have yet to be passed? So things could change?
I am a person which earns my money by working on a laptop on internet. If I want to live in the Ph how would that affect me?
Do you have to pay for 30-day visa for a tourist oh it's for free first month still
As of 1 week ago, us citizens, still get 30 days free .
Hello, does a temporary visitor need to apply for emigration clearance when leaving the Philippines if the amount of days stayed is still within the authorized stay period ?
I think you will have to get the clearance once your stay exceeds 59 days. Currently that is after 6 months.
Hmmm the exit via $$$$$
For a short stay tourist..will definitely stop people from going for short holidays in the Philippines. Im thinkg .. millions of pesos lost in private sector income
Just for a tiny 500php
Cash grab by immigration
And thats not even looking at the massive massive 1 - to 2 days lost in the massive hassle to get this clearance,,, certificate,,,
I thinking this new visa cash grab by immigration
Is another ..great boost to the Thailand tourism industry
It's a good way to weed out the broke US men who move to a foreign country with no means to get back home.
Do USA citizens require visas before leaving USA under the new bill?
My husband is a foreigner and I am a dual citizen (US and Filipino). I go home every year in the Philippines for 3 mos or more. If my husband plans to visit me while I am in the Philippines, does he need a visa? If so, what kind? Thank you.
If he's from the US he can get visa-on-arrival.
HI I need help. I am coming to the Philippines in May i will be there 32 days. How can i extend my visa by 2 days? Can i do on arrival?
How long can a foreigner stay in Philippines under the Tourist Visa as long as its constantly renewed?......Still 3 years under the updated laws?
Can you tell me, if this law gets passed. Are you saying that if someone is flying into Philippines and flying out to another country, we will need a visa even if we are not leaving the terminal. Not passing through customs.
TIA.
No, you do not need visa if you don't go through immigration.
Nowhere in the world you need visa for transit travel - even not in PH 😂
I'm British Citizen not dual yet,this is my second time to Visit my family in the Philippines,my first visit last 2 years & No Visa needed,so then this time I'm going to visit again on April to June,so this mean I need to apply visa now?oh will you reply please,it is so confusing & worry as well,Thanks!😮😮
You can get 30 days visa-on-arrival and extend after you arrive. You will need an onward ticket (within 30 days) and fill in the online form.
Do I need a visa if my wife is a Filipina and I will come to the Philippines together with my wife without return ticket? the Immigration officer told us before that I don't need a return ticket if I come together with her and can stay for 1 year. Is this still okay?
Are the Veterans'' visas affected? If so, how? I was planning to come over in June on a Veteran's visa, now I'm worried?
No, that's not part of this bill.
@@GerbenWulffThanks, sir. I'm bringing my partner with me, she and I aren't officially married, but have been together for 10 years. Will it be hard for them to accept her as a spouse / dependent via the SRRV visa? I have plenty of documentation showing joint accounts, property acquisition, etc.
@@markmcdougal1199 No, you have to be married. Either get married or get her her own visa. "DEPENDENTS SPOUSE must be legally married to the Principal Retiree."

Me and my husband going home next month for vacation for a month,on dual but i don't have PH passport, what we need mam?
Just use your US passport to get visa-on-arrival.

How are they going to prevent corrupt officials form extorting more money from you.
Does this have any effect on my 13a permanent visa? Which i have to renew in 2026.
How is any of this effecting the 13A Visa?
Its not
Did I miss the Retirement Visa? What about residents of foreign country who have retired and wish to re locate to Philippines 🇵🇭?
Retirement visa are not a part of this bill, so it doesn't' change.
Ma’am- do I understand correctly? A regular balikbayan / tourist?? visa is not more than 59 days- not more than 3 months- so is that 2 or 3 months stay on arrival automatically?
From most countries you get 30 days visa on arrival. You can extend that to 59 days. After that you can do a visa extension by 1, 2 or 6 months.
What is a "regular" balikbayan? Is there a premium balikbayan? Is a "balikbayan" also a "tourist?"
A balikbayan can get 1 year visa on arrival. I think what he means with regular balikbayan is, the balikbayan him/herself. The balikbayan privilege can also be extended to dependents. The 30 days is for tourists.
Washington State does not have a PI consulate office. As a Balik Bayan, do I have to have a Visa to visit PI?i😊
You don’t need a visa to travel.

Depending on office you get passport back within hours (express) or you wait 1-2 days to get it back (= stay in this location).

Others have already asked this question
I know you need exit visa after 6 months.
Do you need it after 30 days and after 59 days?
Not at the moment, with these changes you will probably need it if you stay longer than 59 days.
What about permanent visa and specialy for spouse. I am a man married with a Philippinas since 17 nov 2023 .. i use now a travel visa 30 days or with a prolonging 59 days..
The Bureau of Immigration will most likely issue implementing rules for further clarification.
Is there a new visa for the renewal visa
So if I fly in with my Filipino spouse what kind of visa do I qualify upon arrival in Philippines and what documents do I need to present when arriving??
Most nationalities qualify for visa-on-arrival. You need to fill in the online registration, have a valid passport and an onward ticket.
The nephew of my wife born in the Philippines is frustrated that he was born in the Philippines, raised and speak the language, loves the Philippines but cannot even qualify for dual citizenship even though mother is former Filipina citizen but father is American and he was born 1962
There are benefits and risks to being a dual citizen - biggest one is the Philippine laws would apply as a dual citizen. It's not that complicated - he needs to inquire with the Philippine Consulate (there are several office locations in the US).
You did not mention a 13A Visa. Is there still a a 13A visa available to Americans who come to the Philippines and get married to a Filipina? Is Permanent residency Still available to an American who gets married to a Filipina?? Has anything changed with the 13A Visa???

Because so many are denied even if they have the money this is criminal in communism to stop Filipino residents from being able to travel like the rest of the world people can travel if they can afford it no :-(😢
