They need to drop all the silly mandates and just allow tourism to resume. Best wishes to Filipinos that are being harmed by the lack of tourism and lockdown restrictions.
I AGREE!!! Go back to the good old days where you can just hop on a plane and stay visa free up to 30 days there. None of this having to be Vaxed, One health pass, insurance, testing. I'd be cool with just having to show proof of a negative covid-19 test but soon all this needs to seriously go away. It's ridiculous!
Yes. And because tourism is such an important part of their economy, you'd think the government would see that the tourist rate is way down from pre-covid times, and the country is losing big foreign dollars!!!
One thing about the Philippines is it takes 10 steps to complete a 1 step process and of course each step cost pesos. For every law or regulation written one month it will be changed next month but still peso charge for both. My advice is don't concern yourself with anything that's written within 30 days, it will change and most important make sure you have plenty of pesos because that's what really matters 👍
Thank You as always for the update. I always remain in country longer and have never had any problems extending. the process is simple and always greeted with helpful staff. I am ask about my extended stay and had the paperwork with me on where i will be living. Due to signing a short term lease they review it upon entry stamp my passport and welcome me back to the Philippines . thank you Jen keep it up
Last time I flew there I stayed there for 10 month . I had no issues going through customs .I showed them that I had a exit flight set up to return back to the US . I was asked where I was staying and what was my reason for such a long stay .I told them the Condo I would be staying at and that I was flying back to see my Fiancée .. I was asked her name and was granted entry .All I had to do was to go to the Bureau of Immigration in Cebu and keep my Visa up by extending it . When I exited I again needed to go to the Bureau of Immigration to get a security check done so I could exit . I had get 2 or three of them. When I picked up my clearance for the final time I was greeted with smile and was told I was welcome to come back .. The way it sounds now that if I fly back I must show a exit flight plan set for 59 days from my arrival date. I have heard I could just fly to another country and return.. But that gets costly The throw away ticket too . I just stay past the 59 days and rebook a flight when I am ready to leave ..I just keep my Visa updated . I much rather book around trip ticket and not play the games .. The one health pass needs to be dropped too. As of now I am just waiting on Fiancée's K-1 Visa to process .. might be a long time before I fly back.. I flew out of Cebu the 21st of Mar 2020 .. ...
Why pay all this money? Throw away tickets, insurance, airplane ticket, hotels, food, transportation, now twice as expensive as before covid. Much cheaper to go elsewhere! Also way to complicated! When I go to Mexico they don't even check! If I want to go farther inland it's $30 for a six month visa given in 20 minutes or less...way to much bureaucracy to visit Philippines, I'm just a tourist not a businessman trying to open a business?
@@waltertodd4479 Every country have its own laws,to follow.,if you dont have respect just go to other country to cater to your demands & your financial issue.JURISDICTION issue.
Yes your right it's important and respectful to obey all laws. However much of what comes out of iatf and boq is not law but made up! Herein lies the whole problem....the people in charge are not following the rules but instead are making things up! They're making things up because they don't understand they're own process and they're control freaks! There's no jurisdiction problem just incompetency! I spent 30 years working for my federal government and know a thing or two about bureaucracies!I have no respect for control freaks...
Let back the normal as before for the of travelers . As long complete certification of vaccine.no more that one health pass. Lots of 70 up old,don’t know internet
Who else wants to enter here! I know many who experienced and are still experiencing bad, chaotic conditions when leaving the country! They just want out of the Philippines!! Pandemic Chaos at the Immigration. Many has been stranded and still have difficulties to leave the country!
What I wish the Philippine Immigration Law would change… is to allow dual citizenship to a American citizen born in the Philippines and who had lived there for almost short of 24 Years and mother is a former Filipina citizen. Not just base it on born after January 17, 1973 😪 I love the Philippines, so I hope this law changes and allow dual citizenship even if the Father was not the former Filipino citizen and just because I was born before Jan 17, 1973 .😪
Lessen the red tape and the loads of paperworks, be more pragmatic and open minded in policies. Many other Asian countries are still cautious yet far more easy going in regulations. Why not adopt better effective laws and less stress for ground staffs ( so often clueless)!!
Sana po mahal Kong presidente bong bong Marcos.na magbago at maging maganda na Ang immigration law.ng philippines.sana lahat ng tao na gusto pumunta sa ibang bansa wag na Sana clang mahirapan pa.kawawa naman po Ang mga gustong mag trabaho sa ibang bansa.
Thailand plan to remove ALL restrictions by June 1 or July 1. Already, people are not wearing face masks outside . The Philippines needs to accept that there is no emergency now, and keep up with its neighbouring countries.

@@Yamie1101 Thank you for your polite reply.

Never had any problema in the Philippines with visa or customs,I honestly think they must push for many tourists and allow the filipina people to work once more,the virus caused so much heartache who lost there employment,had no money,sold a lot of their assets to stay above board like many foreign workers,let's help the Philippines and push up numbers to give back what they have lost,bless you all.
Ganyan naman ang Pinas palaging kulilat. Kaya kokonti ang mga tourista na pumupuntanng Pinas. Kawawang Pinas kulilat palagi dahil sa galing ng IATF Philippines.. hahaha
Dapat namang kasi ibalik na sa dati ang lahat.alisin na ang lahat ng mga kuskos balungos na iyang.remove all the restriction para maging maayos na ang lahat.
Why a Balikbayan wife can enter with unvaccinated foreign husband according to a family who received a letter from BOQ giving permission or saying its ok. But, unvaxxed foreign spouse cannot enter to be with Filipina wife who resides in PH. Who makes these rules anyway? Why its ok before Feb 10 and during pandemic foreign husband can quarantine but after Feb 10 during endemic they cannot enter. Again..who writes this stuff up?
Are there gov people who can be contacted to push on this topic? This is very stressful on the wives and husbands. And totally unnecessary and ridiculous
@@thepaintedfinish-paintingc6764 yes very true, this is so hard😭😭 starting pandemic we didn’t see each other. All I want is that they will allow the spouse of a Filipino citizen so that they spend time with family in Philippines.
Same problem my fiance want to go back here in Philippines but he is unvaccinated and it's been a long time we didn't see each other cause they don't allow the unvax I hope government allow unvax..
I wish to retire in the land of my father. My father is a Naturalized US citizen. I would like to immigrate there to rest out the remaining years with my relatives and a family I've formed an adopted relationship with. I am lolo to 4 apo. I wish to grow old with them. I've known them since their birth.
President BBM inday sara please please,,,Remove the one health pass make travelers happy,and easy . Complete vaccine certificate is Enough to show . Were calling your Attention president BBM please,,,
This video presents far more stressful questions than necessary...is it the idea is to hook you into to future videos? This proposal has been around before the pandemic. I doubt that it will be signed anytime soon due to the huge bureaucratic restructuring that would need to take place. There is no expressed intent to change extensions, visa on arrival etc.. although DU30 was fairly anti-US and threatened to remove USA visa on arrival a few times. Never happened.
The proposal passed House of Representatives in September 2021 and went to Senate on third reading on January 2022. Once it passed Senate, it just needs to be signed by the President. Once signed, it will be published for 15 days in the Official Gazzette before it takes effect as law. It is just a matter of time. But the visa on arrival most likely will still remain the same. Extensions are discretionary and depending on your purpose. The current law was passed in the 1940's so it is a really old law.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 you are saying they are currently discretionary with the visa extensions? How so? I have extended my visa twice since I came back here and the BI were very kind and helpful and didn't ask any questions as to why I wanted to extend, they just granted me the extension. How is it discretionary?
@@tomparkie866 Yup. Same with me. I've been able to extend my visa at BI for six months, and was able to extend without problems or questions for up to 36 months. Then I had to exit the Philippines for at least 24 hours. Then upon my return, I was able to extend My tourist visa for another 36 months. I might add, that I renew my tourist visa every six months, until I reach the 36 month limit. Then I must exit the Philippines for 24 hours.
My wife is a Filipina. What kind of visa would I need for us to visit her family? I have also had been considering retirement in the Philippines. In order to be near her family.
Thanku for sharing about visas...please if you ate going to share video about foreign tourist staying longer in the phils.can you also talk about how much to pay for every extentions and do they need to pay taxes for the visas...please share also about tourist health care..and banking...requirements to extend visas...watching from far and more success..
Is the new tourist visa going to be the A2 ? And on the A2 can we still extend? And what happens to those currently in the country on tourist visas? , also what will happen to those currently about to process a 13a ?
Good sir, not all foreigners make the Philippines as an easy country. You are aware sir, that many Filipino families depend 100% on a foreigner's income to survive. I'm sure that many people abuse the privilege of coming to the Philippines, but please, don't put us all in that category!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
There’s a lot of us still asking the question that you haven’t answered. Are the new tourist/ pleasure visas extendable? If so, for how long? Or do you not know yet?
Lahat na yata ng proseso sa Pinas super bagal!!! Tapos everything is about money money money!!! Now another money making na naman dami na naman babaguhin, baka mawala ang turista sa atin pag nagkataon.

@@bartonpercival3216 i have lived here for over 10yrs on a tourist visa. always current and follow laws. take ur sermon to someone who doesnt do that. anyone overstaying is complete and total idiot and its inexcusable in my opinion
@@dundeehou I did not direct that comment to you, it was directed to another person who had made a rude comment regarding getting visas in the Philippines and the person then deleted the comment.
Hello Miss. Have you heard about a new mandate of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration requiring Filipinos holding a tourist visa to secure a travel health insurance?
When I'm going vacay go to Philippines next year visiting my relatives for 3 months I guess must needed A-2 Visa pleasure? I'm American citizens but I was born in the Philippines.
If a foreign national is married to a Filipino citizen they can apply for a 13A Visa which is for permanent residence provided that the spouse comes from a country which also grants permanent residence status to Filipinos married to citizens of countries that have reciprocity agreements with the Philippines. Here's the official government link if you want more info; immigration.gov.ph/faqs/visa-inquiry/permanent-resident-visa
Hi.. How about foreign spouses of Filipinos.. Countries not included in EO 408. What is the latest procedure on this. Thanks. More power to your channel.
Are they doing away with the VISA if you were retired military I'm looking at moving there next year what type of Visa would you recommend do I get it before I move or after

My partner and I are British citizens and I qualify for dual citizenship as a Filipino. We're both planning on retiring in the Philippines. Will I be able sponsor my partner under spouse visa if it's same sex? Many thanks and kind regards xx
Pettiness, over-the-top extremes, including regulations and demands, non-sensical authoritative ridiculousness...spells the Philippines; the politicians and gov't there are so out-of-touch with humanity, despite being a poor, third-world nation. Reason and logic does not rate high in the Phils. Common sense is not even remotely common. Now, for many reasxons, that country should open their pearly gates to nearly everyone or anyone to save their economy and starving people. Move past Covid and exercise reasonable thought and actions.
Dear Jocelyn and anybody here, I saw on one of these CZcamss that insurance is no longer required of Kanos married to Filipinas even if she's not accompanying into Phil, need have this verified before I remove it from my trip expense spreadsheet. Think it was Jennifer's CZcams. You or anyone can verify? So I only need show my marriage certificate? What's strange is 9a visa does still require it. 🤔 Hope anyone can help.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 I hear you in your CZcams so you & Jenn are in opposite corners over this, that's why I ask to get this confusion straightened out.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Watch Jenn's insurance vid dear, she say not required for foreign nationals married to Filipinas even if she's not accompanied to Phil. Can you two please settle this out, it's confusing!
So, if I understand correctly, as long as you have a flight showing you are leaving within 30 days of arrival in the Philippines, you can just get an extended tourist visa as long as it's 6 months or less. Is that correct. I'm from USA. I'm hoping to arrive in late June (26th) and leave in mid August (18th??). I think that's the way it used to be. I'm just visiting my girlfriend again and hoping I can stay that long. Also, how much is it to get an extended tourist visa? I'd only need 2-3 weeks since I know I can stay 30 days without a tourist visa
@@worldlydestinations thank you for letting me know. I'll be back in the Philippines next Monday. Hope be in the Philippines until August 18ish. I am really looking forward to it
Madam I want to ask you..my girlfriend have tourist visa 1 year but multiple entry 90 days i ask u madam what need imtegration in airport documents for show there
Way to restrictive as usual. I''l spend my time & money in Thailand where it's much more liberal and fair. The Phils is a scary place with all the hidden fees and the possibility of jail even if you are not guilty.
I am in the process of coming to the Philippines in June and just purchased my ticket for arrival 22 Jun 2022 and need to know what I need to do before my arrival. Can you help me with some information?
I was a little confused. I am going to the Philippines at the end of June and staying for 12 days. I am from the USA. Do I now need to get an A Visa? I want to visit my GF and my Church Friends there.
hi i am bob from Arkansas, i was in cebu in 2016 visiting my filipino girlfriend ,you can stay in the philppines for i month by using your passport and NO visa, but if you stay more than one month, you need to get a extension visa every month ,i think it cost around 50 dollars for the extension visa every month you stay in the philppines ,but since you are only staying in the PH for only 12 days ,you do not need a visa, you might want to check on that to be sure, cause the rules and the regulations may of have change since i was there in 2016
I'm Philippine national but, a US Citizen. What visa is required for retirement in the Philippines from the USA? Please advise, we're looking to travel in August. Salamat ng marami🙏
You may stay in the Phil for a period of no more than 1 year under a Balikbayan visa. Or just apply for dual citizenship in the Philippine embassy or consulate or Bureau of Immigration. I am a dual citizen myself and holds both American and ph passports.
I’m dual citizen, and I always use my US Passport to enter Philippines. If I want to stay that long it’s fine, because I’m dual citizen and if they ask me I’ll just show my dual citizens certificate!
The new slogan of the Philippines “ it’s always more complicated in the Philippines”

And I'm sure these rules will change another 10 times before 2023!!!!!!!!!!

Is the new tourist visa going to be the A2 ? And on the A2 can we still extend? And what happens to those currently in the country on tourist visas? , also what will happen to those currently about to process a 13a ?
Wow congrats so foreigners will not make philippines an easy country.Let them process visa abd ask fpr bank statement as well.
Good sir, not all foreigners make the Philippines as an easy country. You are aware sir, that many Filipino families depend 100% on a foreigner's income to survive. I'm sure that many people abuse the privilege of coming to the Philippines, but please, don't put us all in that category!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
Under this new system will you still be able to get a visitors visa on entry or will you have to have the visa prior to arrival?
Visa on arrival will remain for visa-free countries.
There’s a lot of us still asking the question that you haven’t answered.
Are the new tourist/ pleasure visas extendable? If so, for how long? Or do you not know yet?
Lahat na yata ng proseso sa Pinas super bagal!!! Tapos everything is about money money money!!! Now another money making na naman dami na naman babaguhin, baka mawala ang turista sa atin pag nagkataon.
Another way of corruption. Being so strict . Policy is more expensive , higher tong , means corruption is gitting so expensive.
I am a south African married to a phillipino for 3 years ,but I am here in the Philippines for 5 years ,I have built a house here for my wife and I what is the procedure for me to become a dual citizen,thank you in advance
If you had all the papers/documents that they ask,then there's no problem. exactly the same like other countries.
good video. however, nothing is said about being able to extend visitors visa like currently exists
You can still get extension but depending on purpose. Visa extension is discretionary on BI.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Precisely... Visa extensions have NEVER been compulsory.
I might also add, that it is a privilege to stay in the Philippines on a tourist visa and not a right!!!!!!!!! Always keep your record clean and with no problems at BI and they will grant you extended stay!!!!!!!! 👍
@@bartonpercival3216 i have lived here for over 10yrs on a tourist visa. always current and follow laws. take ur sermon to someone who doesnt do that. anyone overstaying is complete and total idiot and its inexcusable in my
opinion
@@dundeehou I did not direct that comment to you, it was directed to another person who had made a rude comment regarding getting visas in the Philippines and the person then deleted the comment.
I wish, soon Filipinos can visit the US w/o travel visa. ✨
Never!🤣

Tourism is badly needed not laws n regulations
Question - will those of us who enter visa free still be able to continue extending our stay up to 36 months as before?
Let me know when you get an answer. Omg they make it so complicated
As of right now (May of 2022) the answer is yes!!!!!!!!
I was hoping to return, but finally gave up and cancelled the trip. Ended up going to Central America, instead.
To uplift our Economy we should require, impose visa fee to those countries who impose visa fee
Sure. And then stop taking foreign aid.
When are they going to allow unvaxxed to return to their spouses? Grrr! I have been away for 7 months and missing my family.
Do you think the vaccine mandates will stop ?
We’ll see in July.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1
OK thank you and for keeping up updates
Will the Philippines give the visas on arrival I'm going to visit my wife and daughter which I havnt seen since February 2020
It depends on the country of origin.
Will foreigners still be able to extend for 36 months?
Based on those who have arrived, only 30 days extension was given.
Hello Miss.
Have you heard about a new mandate of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration requiring Filipinos holding a tourist visa to secure a travel health insurance?
Does unvaccinated needs to get vaccinated before entering Philippines?
Based on my understanding..foreigner who visit the Philippines without a visa can now stay up to 59 days? Am I right? Please enlighten me po..slamat
This is not yet implemented but it depends on the country where the foreigner is coming from.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 hoping the american also require to have Ph visa when entering
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 is this applicable for us citizens now??
When I'm going vacay go to Philippines next year visiting my relatives for 3 months I guess must needed A-2 Visa pleasure? I'm American citizens but I was born in the Philippines.
5:02 So, non-immigrants are not to engage in employment, or business, but we can get a Type A visa for business? Which is it?
My question. What about foreign nationals who what to become a permanent resident in the Philippines? What are the requierments?
If a foreign national is married to a Filipino citizen they can apply for a 13A Visa which is for permanent residence provided that the spouse comes from a country which also grants permanent residence status to Filipinos married to citizens of countries that have reciprocity agreements with the Philippines. Here's the official government link if you want more info;

Tanong lang po ano pong mga accepted vaccine sa pilipinas po ?
Novavax pwede po ba?
How about new laws on Filipinos being allowed to visit the U.S.A.? Laws on allowing Filipinos to be able to work overseas in the U.S.A.?
Not happening.
Hi.. How about foreign spouses of Filipinos.. Countries not included in EO 408. What is the latest procedure on this. Thanks. More power to your channel.
not again. if u keep fiddling no one will come
I'm unsure of the Diesels that you mentioned if I do a 59 day Visa can I extend? And I didn't hear a mention of a retirement Visa
Too much documents needed in bringing the human urns in the Philippines and too long waiting for processing in consul..
Looks like the new process is just categorising all the foreign nationals visiting the Philippines
Anong latest requirements po pag US citizen vacation sa pinas anong pa kailangan?
Are they doing away with the VISA if you were retired military I'm looking at moving there next year what type of Visa would you recommend do I get it before I move or after
My wife Filipino I’m planning to retire in the Philippines ? What is the visa I would need to get?
Get a married visa

I don't see balikbayan visa will be affected but we'll see.

Good evening jocelyn i am a south african citizen married to a filipina i habe my phillippines marriage certificate with me and i am traveling home soon.
Am i visa free entry and should i need to have a EED on arrival or to travel to philippines?
i am retired from the U.S> army i am getting some confusing information, is there any changes to the SRRV, i am confused about where i can apply, is it in the united states or apply when i am in the philippines? i need help pleae and thank you in advance
What about the SSRV. Is it going to change also
If it is so I will never visit again wife or no wife it's not the best place in the world to go anyway
What dies this mean no more visa on arrival?
My partner and I are British citizens and I qualify for dual citizenship as a Filipino. We're both planning on retiring in the Philippines. Will I be able sponsor my partner under spouse visa if it's same sex? Many thanks and kind regards xx
Of course not
how about balikbayan i used it for 28 yrs ??
The more steps…the more peso from foreigners…
Pettiness, over-the-top extremes, including regulations and demands, non-sensical authoritative ridiculousness...spells the Philippines; the politicians and gov't there are so out-of-touch with humanity, despite being a poor, third-world nation. Reason and logic does not rate high in the Phils. Common sense is not even remotely common. Now, for many reasxons, that country should open their pearly gates to nearly everyone or anyone to save their economy and starving people. Move past Covid and exercise reasonable thought and actions.
Dear Jocelyn and anybody here,
I saw on one of these CZcamss that insurance is no longer required of Kanos married to Filipinas even if she's not accompanying into Phil, need have this verified before I remove it from my trip expense spreadsheet. Think it was Jennifer's CZcams. You or anyone can verify? So I only need show my marriage certificate?
What's strange is 9a visa does still require it. 🤔
Hope anyone can help.
Please watch my latest video on travel insurance. I explained everything in that video.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 I hear you in your CZcams so you & Jenn are in opposite corners over this, that's why I ask to get this confusion straightened out.
@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 Watch Jenn's insurance vid dear, she say not required for foreign nationals married to Filipinas even if she's not accompanied to Phil. Can you two please settle this out, it's confusing!
Are there any changes to the SRRV?
Hi do you know if any proposed changes to SRRV ???
So, if I understand correctly, as long as you have a flight showing you are leaving within 30 days of arrival in the Philippines, you can just get an extended tourist visa as long as it's 6 months or less. Is that correct. I'm from USA. I'm hoping to arrive in late June (26th) and leave in mid August (18th??). I think that's the way it used to be. I'm just visiting my girlfriend again and hoping I can stay that long. Also, how much is it to get an extended tourist visa? I'd only need 2-3 weeks since I know I can stay 30 days without a tourist visa
Nothing has changed. This is all proposed and nothing has been signed into law.
As I recall, an extension for only 2-3 weeks would be around PH 1500 pesos
Thank you so much for responding. It helps a lot.
@@worldlydestinations thank you for letting me know. I'll be back in the Philippines next Monday. Hope be in the Philippines until August 18ish. I am really looking forward to it
Are foreign tourist still need immigration clearance when they fly out? How about retirement visa, is there any changes?
Yes, you still need to get an exit clearence from BI, but only if you have been in the Philippines for 6 months or over.
Pano po ako citezen na sa ibang bansa kung uuwi kaming Mag asawa kelangan pa ba Ng visa sa pilipinas kahit wala na kong pilipino passport
Madam I want to ask you..my girlfriend have tourist visa 1 year but multiple entry 90 days i ask u madam what need imtegration in airport documents for show there
I'm coming end of Oct, so what exactly am I suppose to do to get back out? Am I suppose to visit BI to apply to leave?
October is still a long time so there might be changes in rules by that time.
Is this apply to the US visit also?
Way to restrictive as usual. I''l spend my time & money in Thailand where it's much more liberal and fair. The Phils is a scary place with all the hidden fees and the possibility of jail even if you are not guilty.
Going to other country u spent lots of pesos processing the paper
So what does a A-2 Visa cost?
The philippines as no immgrashon law.s
its all money money they are money made
Are there changes to the SRRV visa?
I am in the process of coming to the Philippines in June and just purchased my ticket for arrival 22 Jun 2022 and need to know what I need to do before my arrival. Can you help me with some information?
One health pass, travel insurance, vaccines card. I think that’s all you need. Correct me if I’m wrong..
@@judyjaz947 COVID test and wear the WORTHLESS mask everywhere-hehe
I was a little confused. I am going to the Philippines at the end of June and staying for 12 days. I am from the USA. Do I now need to get an A Visa? I want to visit my GF and my Church Friends there.
hi i am bob from Arkansas, i was in cebu in 2016 visiting my filipino girlfriend ,you can stay in the philppines for i month by using your passport and NO visa, but if you stay more than one month, you need to get a extension visa every month ,i think it cost around 50 dollars for the extension visa every month you stay in the philppines ,but since you are only staying in the PH for only 12 days ,you do not need a visa, you might want to check on that to be sure, cause the rules and the regulations may of have change since i was there in 2016
@@arky5610 Thank you!
This is not yer implemented but i'll monitor the changes. US citizens do not need visa.
You Will suffer with the marcos clan. A lot.
Many have no idea as yet as the media covered up the past. People are so ignorant and yes, PH will suffer a horrible decline.
I'm Philippine national but, a US Citizen. What visa is required for retirement in the Philippines from the USA? Please advise, we're looking to travel in August. Salamat ng marami🙏
just apply for dual citizenship
Healthpass, COVID vaccine, covid test-it's such an idiotic system. If there is a way to make things complicated, they will figure it out.
You may stay in the Phil for a period of no more than 1 year under a Balikbayan visa.
Or just apply for dual citizenship in the Philippine embassy or consulate or Bureau of Immigration.
I am a dual citizen myself and holds both American and ph passports.
no such thing as Philippine national- US Citizen. Unless you meant dual citizen.
I’m dual citizen, and I always use my US Passport to enter Philippines. If I want to stay that long it’s fine, because I’m dual citizen and if they ask me I’ll just show my dual citizens certificate!
What about balickbayan I have 1 year stamper on my passport my wife is former philippino getting dual citizen
Still the same rule.
