Emigration Clearance for temporary visitors means: A tourist visiting the Philippines would not only have to pay for to visit (as visas have to be paid), but also have to pay before he leaves back for his home country. That is basically ripping of money of (especially uninformed) tourists off their money. As a standard tourist you would inform yourself about necessary entry/stay visa, but you not be prepared to for a special process, which you have to apply for, in order to get back to your home country. And if you fail in that application process, you might fall into a visa violation and thus even find yourself in jail or at least heavily fined. Whereas you can decide to avoid visiting the Philippines when the visa is too expensive, you can not avoid to pay unknowingly high fees for getting back home. Thus the Philippine state can make leaving the country very expensive, as they know you have to pay it anyways. Not very tourist friendly!!!!!!! It will for sure harm tourism there. But I go further: I considered retirement in the Philippines. But a country, that obviously tries rip off tourists, would sure find ways to rip off residents. I can not trust such a country and will therefore for sure NOT retire in the Philippines - there are numerous other countries that offer better conditions and are more trustworthy in the long run. The Philippines is, to my knowledge, the only country in the world that would collect additional fees on departure!!! This law will harm the country.
I think it's enough to just check the passport of tourist visa holder the number of months he should stay on a foreign country and if no lapses on date, just approve the her passport in returning to his/her country w/o requiring him to report to immigration prior to his return
So any visitor under 59 days need no emigration clearance when leaving? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Beyond 59 days, if not renewed, the days are counted to collect fines🤑🤑🤑. 59 days is long enough for tourists. ❗❗❗ While passing by Japan (transit), I got visa-free 90 days on my US passport. Wonderful🥰.
The Philippines needs to make getting a visa easier not harder! If all the foreigners stop going to the Philippines the countries economy would fall a part! And the amount of money that is sent to the Philippines from family members that live in the U.S. alone is what keeps the Philippines afloat. I think that the Philippines government is forgetting that.
@ALIBEK1161 I was talking about all foreigners not just Americans! Also I was married to a filipina for over 20 years and lived in the Philippines and the states. Back in the 1990's Cebu had a dirt road to the airport and you could sit at a picnic table next to the airplane while people were getting on. Tourism what made the new big airports in the Philippines not domestic tourism which is also a lot of foreigners in that mix too. Also back in the 1990's when the U.S. bases closed up the Philippines went through had time trying to recover. If I remember the big malls are owner by Chinese investors like SM Mall and about the only fast food was Joabees and Shakey's pizza all the rest that came to Philippines are foreign investors.Then there are money remitance companies started up for all the money being sent the Philippines from all over the world not just the U.S.
Also if no foreigner come to the Philippines they would no longer need the international airports and the duty free shops also more than half of the hotels and motels. Companies run because of foreign tourist would close up. Then the foreign investors would start pulling out there money spent on business in the Philippines. NO matter how you look at it the Philippines needs foreigners to keep the improvement that has happened in the Philippines in the last 30 years. The Philippines so changed from the 1990's I am not arrogant just fact.
Foreigners did not built Philippine economy, its us the locales born and raised IN THE PHILIPPINES. One reason why foreigners living here in the Philippines is in their own country of origins are having economic problems in their own country. They know their money's worth goes further here to purchase basic goods and services compare to their own country.
Great infomration video. Guess we have to wait until the final law is passed. My wife is dual citizen (US/PHL), so we fall under the Balikbayan travel. I'm hoping to do a few months in Philippiines and then back to the US. I would be interested in how the new law will effect that. I'm not worried about the exit clearance. I just need to know where to get it. Keep us informed. Mabuhay!
How will the new rules affect us retired foreigners who are staying and renewing for three years and then making a Visa Run, and then returning for three more years at a time? Do we still have the multiple three year options?
Just stumbled across your channel & so happy I did, very helpful info, especially for newcomers to the country. I have been here over 20 years & have seen great improvements in the immigration system here since then. Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated:)
So after all this goes through and passes, you can still stay for 3 years on a tourist visa and then make a run to another country for 24 hours and come back and restart another 3 years or no? Really need to here a straight forward answer on this when someone is completely certain what the answer is, because this is getting more confusing. Thanks!
I have a question for you no disrespect to you or the Philippines why does the Philippines has a tough immegration laws when the Philippines rely on tourism and the thing is lots older forginers are now moving to other countries because for foreigners the immigration laws are less stressful and cost of living is cheaper one time ago the Philippines used to attract millions and millions of tourists and sure they still do now but not as much because other countries cost of living is not si high and immegration laws are less stressful another question if I come there how long can I live on tourist visa I love the Philippines and it's people but it should not be stressful if an coming to live there
Hello. That is a great question. Every country has its own immigration laws that needs to be enforced to protect the citizens and its border. If you are coming as a tourist, the length of your stay depends on what country you are coming from or your nationality based on Executive Order No. 408.
Last experience with immigration in ninoy airport was so bad . Everything is good in the phillipines except the immigration there i really felt insecure. Everytime i think about going back to phillipines i remember the immigration there how they treat so bad tourists and what happened to my in 2019 i sey in my self no i wont go there it's insecure
Hi jocelyn i know you will need a exit clearance certificate asap when the new imagination law starts .But i am asking what if you are only in the Philippines just 2 weeks or 30 days will you still need a exit clearance certificate????
Hi, I was there for long time, my understanding is if you are there 3 months or more you need the cert to leave, this is to make sure you have no Debts left there
Yes I know this i was in Philippines last August for 30 days with no exit clearance certificate yet .this is what I am asking when new imagination law comes in even if you stay in the Philippines 2 weeks or 4 weeks or the new 59 days do you still need exit clearance certificate?????
When new exist clearance certificate law comes in I hope it will be easy to get appointments to get the certificate cause just say you are staying in mati you will have to travel to Davoa city to pick up your certificate so back and forth it will take 2 or 3 days out your holiday. thats why I hope its over 3 months stay you will need the exist clearance certificate.
@@DavidScott-sr5tfi already book for 29 days ..how can I stay more ?do i have to manage my booking for returning date then i apply for visa ? Or first i should apply for visa ?? I want to stay 58 or 59 days ?my arriving is davao airport thru Qatar airways July 6..I am married filipina but still don't have PSA ..I have register marriage number only
How long will the tourist visa extensions be? Right now it varies depending on which immigration office you go to. The one in CDO is only 2 months maximum extension but I've heard there are some offices in Cebu and Bohol that extend up to 6 months.
It’s best to just get your visa online before going to the Philippines and if u are from a western country like me USA 🇺🇸 u get 90 days.Yes it’s iffy if you go to get a visa or an extension in person at the office.This is why I’ll get my visa online.The other benefit of getting your visa online instead of in person is that it saves you pages of your passport from being free of stamps.You can also get extensions for visa online as well not just for the Philippines but also for Thailand.Going in person is pointless at this point because you run into too many problems and depending on the immigration office or and immigration officer you may get an extra 30 or 60 days you don’t know.So I would advise everyone to get your visa and or extension of visa online instead of going to immigration office.Because very soon they won’t stamping people passports anymore at immigration offices.

I can stay 30 days visa free..but I want to stay 59 days ..how can I do that? They want onward ticket..if I book ticket for 59 days then what it ensure I will get visa ? If I book for 30 days then I have to manage my booking returning date if they approve my visa?? I wonder why can't we apply for visa first then we book...
I agree the current Immigration infrastructure is as archaic as buying a boat ride out of Boracay island where different windows are required to achieve the same goal, something that will never exist in the West. I digress, what faith awaits the balikbayan privilege? Under what terms does it fall in the immigration visa policy of the bill being proposed?
Hi Ms Jocelyn thank you for this info...i just want to ask po what are the things to do po for my fiancee coming here getting married here and hopefully stay here for year...thank you for answering my querries po...
Ay sus. Para saan pa yung emigration clearance? I think a lot of foreigners will be stuck at airports causing more headache for casual travelers. Another red tape. Imbes na gawing simple proceso ginagawa nilang mas komplikado 😂
Wow Exit clearance if you stay only 1 month is not attractive. I hope at least it will be less bureaucratic. Otherwise Philippines might lose some tourists on the way.
What about foreign nationals that are married to Filipinas who have dual nationality? What has happened with the Balikbayan travel rules for those foreign nationals described above? The only visa I could relate to in your description of the new proposed visas was visa A2, but that does not quite fit right.
Hello po. May question lang po ako. Pano po kung walang hotel bookings kasi sa friend po ako makikituloy sa pupuntahan ko. I'm a seafarer and na meet ko sila sa barko. Wala po akong event like wedding or anything na reason but to visit there as a tourist lang. Self-funded traveler din po ako. Ano po need kong sabihin sa immigration kung walang hotel bookings? Salamat po sa sagot.
as an american who has been married to a filipina and has kids and been here since 2010 and doing every 3 year balikbayan trips and extensions i got no information out of this video. hopefully everything will remain the same for tourist visas and extensions and balikbayan trips. its too much paperwork and expense and trips to offices far away to change to a different kind of visa, and we like to take a vacation every 3 years anyway. anything disrupting that would be devastating to our family and our lives to put it mildly.
It wasn't hard for me to get permanent residence after a two year process, maybe it could be a little less time, but two years for my pace. Hopefully it still isn't that hard, I suspect this would be a positive for you to look into. Good luck.
@@selbstsein967 you only need to leave and come back ,like for a few hours , once every 3 years. not leave for 3 years. we usually go vacation in singapore for the weekend.
@@justaguy-69“only“ - the crazy thing is that you’re forced to even you’re married with a Filipina 🙈 In European countries are Filipina married to a foreigner never needs to leave (no force at all). This is a bad rule against foreigners from Philippines 👎 … and what will you do when you’re to old and can’t travel anymore?? Overstay and forced to leave or what??
PH is not the ideal country for foreigners to settle foreigners in PH can't own properties full business ownership don't enjoy same rights of Filipinos & many are deported foreigners can obtain PH citizenship if born & raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not the case of expat newcomers The PH Dream is real for rich Filipinos only
Casue they are looking for some extra php, it's like a legal scam, they like to complicate it and the best think is that all still depands on the money, bi is a joke lto is a joke and others too...
Philippines They are experts at making everything as complicated as possible There is a reason why it's so poor and backwards 😂 And Thailand receives almost 6 times more foreign tourists
@@pawelvieit's just a cash cow for government Not like other countries where its to comply with law Does that country strike as law abiding? Its only about $
Will this change the one year VISA I receive when traveling with my Philippine wife and our child? Thank you so much for making this video. God bless and stay safe.
Happening the same time as the collapse of East Asia, no? Don't feel singled out if you're a Westerner. It's not just Westerners fleeing their countries, it's East Asians too. If there are aren't stricter controls in place there will be a flood of money coming into the Philippines that will skew the economy. Look at what's happened in Thailand already. The locals are priced out of real estate. Their middle class is dwindling, living pay check to pay check. The PH economy needs time to adjust to new incomes or it will suffer like Thailand is. It's gotten so bad in Thailand that they are in population in decline because children are unaffordable.
as husband of a filipina under the new laws how would i be able to stay in the philippines for up to 6months a year till my wife gets her us citizenship. then is there a way for me to get dual citizennship as well
Hi, if i want to stay about 40-50 days do i need to apply for a visa prior to departure to the Philippines or can i extend in the Philippines upon my arrival.
May I kindly ask? I was born in the Philippines on Clark AFB, 1970. My mother is full Filipino and my father was a USA soldier. I was born there and at age 3 they brought me to the USA. I have lived in Germany and in the USA. I am now in my 50's .. I would like to come to the Philippines and work as a Dental Hygienist/ Functional Nutritional Practitioner. I would like to apply for my citizenship .. I have all of my original Birth Certificates. However, I contacted the Philippine Consulate here in the USA and they state that I am not able to be a citizen because I was born in 1970 and my mother as a woman cannot pass her heritage to me. It makes me terribly sad.. I mean after all I am her flesh and blood and she carried me for 10 months, and I am born on the island... but I am not a Filipino because my father was a soldier??? Do you know if this is changed with this new law? Can you help me.. what are my options.. thank you kindly.. salamut po.
I believe: Don't give up, Salamut! Don't let anyone tell you that "There's no way!". There's always a way. Work on it, do research, contact an attorney (ask the Filipina Pea, she knows a good attorney in the PH). For the record, what you're saying is true, you were born in the Philippines, you deserve to have PH citizenship. And no, it's not fair. But sitting there crying about isn't the answer. Get up and do something about it! There is ALWAYS a way.
What about Immigrant visas? I will be applying for a 13a after my return on the 29th of May. We couldn’t apply when I was there a month ago (departed 28 March), because PSA never issued our Marriage Certificate before departure. I will be arriving on 9A visa, but immediately applying for my Spouse visa when I return.
Mostly I will be coming to the Philippines for pleasure, but what visa do I need upon arrival or prior to arrival if I have a friend in the Philippines make small items to be exported to the USA and what are the conditions of this visa? This is a small hobby project although items could be sold in the USA and value would be less than 50,000 pesos. Thanks in advance for your reply.
and about the RSSV visa? Can I come to the Philippines with my filipina? Are there still income requirements (800 USD a month?) Money in the bank account (I think that was an amount of at least 25,000 PHP)?
I got tourist visa for 3 months for the period 03 March till 03 June and for a stay of maximum 59 days. Can I enter Philippines on 02 June and exit 10 June ?
What if I'm already well into the process of obtaining an SRRV through the PRA. Will I be affected? I've already submitted my application and made the required investment deposit.
What im afraid of is when all visa types are easily acquired when those undesirables and has bad intentions coming will create problems in our pure Filipino society.
Hi, I am living in the UK with my wife who is a philippine national, we would like to come and live in the philippines when i have sold my house next year. My wife has her own house in the philippines, can you advise what is the easiest way.

Thank you. I'll look into this! When I did enquire I was told I had to give up US citizenship. This is great news. Is there any other process which is shorter?

I apply for dual citizenship and my husband is staying with my families we plan to stay every 6 month's his 75 I'm 71 are we going to have a problem regarding my husband?can you help me if there is a problem
Yes, all passengers need to register for etravel within 72 hours prior to departure from country of origin. When exiting Philippines, only Filipinos need to register.
Last week I went to BI in Intramuros main office and was told commissioner needs to sign off on my 6 month extension. I was approved within a week.
Thank you for sharing!
Sadly i can almost guarantee this will become a shitshow

@@selbstsein967 you only need to leave and come back ,like for a few hours , once every 3 years. not leave for 3 years. we usually go vacation in singapore for the weekend.
@@justaguy-69“only“ - the crazy thing is that you’re forced to even you’re married with a Filipina 🙈
In European countries are Filipina married to a foreigner never needs to leave (no force at all). This is a bad rule against foreigners from Philippines 👎
… and what will you do when you’re to old and can’t travel anymore?? Overstay and forced to leave or what??
PH is not the ideal country for foreigners to settle foreigners in PH can't own properties full business ownership don't enjoy same rights of Filipinos & many are deported foreigners can obtain PH citizenship if born & raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not the case of expat newcomers The PH Dream is real for rich Filipinos only
Thank you for the information
Why are they making everything so difficult to visit and leave!!
Casue they are looking for some extra php, it's like a legal scam, they like to complicate it and the best think is that all still depands on the money, bi is a joke lto is a joke and others too...
Philippines
They are experts at making everything as complicated as possible
There is a reason why it's so poor and backwards 😂
And Thailand receives almost 6 times more foreign tourists
@@pawelvieit's just a cash cow for government
Not like other countries where its to comply with law
Does that country strike as law abiding? Its only about $
Which Visa does the SRRV Program fall under?
It doesn’t, the Philippine retirement authority manages that program and the new law will not affect SRRV.
The SRRV is under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Retirement Authority.
Is there a third person to answer with the answer? :)
Thank you for these VERY helpful videos
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video! So as a foreigner to open up a business in the Philippines, one would need to apply for a A1 Visa?
Will this change the one year VISA I receive when traveling with my Philippine wife and our child? Thank you so much for making this video. God bless and stay safe.
None of these appears to accommodate a foreigner who marries a Filipino. Are they doing away with those visas?
Happening the same time as the collapse of East Asia, no? Don't feel singled out if you're a Westerner. It's not just Westerners fleeing their countries, it's East Asians too. If there are aren't stricter controls in place there will be a flood of money coming into the Philippines that will skew the economy. Look at what's happened in Thailand already. The locals are priced out of real estate. Their middle class is dwindling, living pay check to pay check. The PH economy needs time to adjust to new incomes or it will suffer like Thailand is. It's gotten so bad in Thailand that they are in population in decline because children are unaffordable.
So what about the foreign Spouse of a Filipino citizen?
Do we even need a Visa?
Are there still countries where a Visa is not required for entrance?
So for exit clearance, you only need to do that if you stay longer than 30 days right?
as husband of a filipina under the new laws how would i be able to stay in the philippines for up to 6months a year till my wife gets her us citizenship. then is there a way for me to get dual citizennship as well
I'm pretty sure that if you're an American the U.S. does not permit you to have dual citizenship.
State of the art? Ever try to use that website lol
My wife is dual citizen Filipina. What type visa would I require and how long could I stay coming from the US? Would it still be issued on arrival?
What will happen with foreigners who are here in the Philippines on a Special Retirement Visa like the SRRV Expanded Courtesy Visa?
Hi, if i want to stay about 40-50 days do i need to apply for a visa prior to departure to the Philippines or can i extend in the Philippines upon my arrival.
May I kindly ask? I was born in the Philippines on Clark AFB, 1970. My mother is full Filipino and my father was a USA soldier. I was born there and at age 3 they brought me to the USA. I have lived in Germany and in the USA. I am now in my 50's .. I would like to come to the Philippines and work as a Dental Hygienist/ Functional Nutritional Practitioner. I would like to apply for my citizenship .. I have all of my original Birth Certificates. However, I contacted the Philippine Consulate here in the USA and they state that I am not able to be a citizen because I was born in 1970 and my mother as a woman cannot pass her heritage to me. It makes me terribly sad.. I mean after all I am her flesh and blood and she carried me for 10 months, and I am born on the island... but I am not a Filipino because my father was a soldier??? Do you know if this is changed with this new law? Can you help me.. what are my options.. thank you kindly.. salamut po.
I believe: Don't give up, Salamut! Don't let anyone tell you that "There's no way!". There's always a way. Work on it, do research, contact an attorney (ask the Filipina Pea, she knows a good attorney in the PH).
For the record, what you're saying is true, you were born in the Philippines, you deserve to have PH citizenship. And no, it's not fair. But sitting there crying about isn't the answer. Get up and do something about it! There is ALWAYS a way.
Any changes to the SRRVISAS
Great information
There was also no mention of the srrv visa. Is that going away also?
What about Immigrant visas? I will be applying for a 13a after my return on the 29th of May. We couldn’t apply when I was there a month ago (departed 28 March), because PSA never issued our Marriage Certificate before departure. I will be arriving on 9A visa, but immediately applying for my Spouse visa when I return.
Mostly I will be coming to the Philippines for pleasure, but what visa do I need upon arrival or prior to arrival if I have a friend in the Philippines make small items to be exported to the USA and what are the conditions of this visa? This is a small hobby project although items could be sold in the USA and value would be less than 50,000 pesos. Thanks in advance for your reply.
How. About. Balikbayan
Nothing said about srrv type of visa through the PRA . Does this fall under a completely different category from the typical visitor visa.
and about the RSSV visa? Can I come to the Philippines with my filipina? Are there still income requirements (800 USD a month?) Money in the bank account (I think that was an amount of at least 25,000 PHP)?
Hi Joscelyn, I enjoyed your video. I want to start a retirement visa. I am a USA Veteran and would love any assistance. Thanks.
tama po itong new update ng immigration agree..para sa mga naka intinde
Thank you for watching.
What is required for a US citizen to buy a condo in the Philippines?
I got tourist visa for 3 months for the period 03 March till 03 June and for a stay of maximum 59 days. Can I enter Philippines on 02 June and exit 10 June ?
What if I'm already well into the process of obtaining an SRRV through the PRA. Will I be affected? I've already submitted my application and made the required investment deposit.
What im afraid of is when all visa types are easily acquired when those undesirables and has bad intentions coming will create problems in our pure Filipino society.
So what happened to Balikbayan ?.
Has the SRRV been eliminated?
Wat!! Need clearance to leave the Philippines even if there for 2 weeks ??? Kidding

Has this new modernizatiom law been passed?
How. About. Balik Bayan

Only about 25 foreigners a year apply
Thanks for the info! I wonder if only 25 foreigners apply every year, can the process be expedited or sped up?
