@cmbmtb This is an excellent response, thank you for the complete list.

Yes sir, you need to do it only in Manila BI, also you must bring your passport with the Bureau of quarantine stamp in it.

you must have colored photo copies of your passport bios page, along with a photo copy of your page which has your bureau of quarantine, and almost forgot a color copy of your original 13A sticker that was placed in your passport,

hope this helps

You are responding to a very old post. I think post pandemic nobody needs to deal with Bureau of Quarantine unless you are coming in from some 3rd world country like Somalia.

I traveled to the Philippines for the first time, with my (Then) English girlfriend, during 1989. Then, between 2000 and 2012, several trips from Amsterdam, but mostly alone. From 2008 until 2012, I had a local girlfriend from Cogeo, Antipolo. I went to Taytay to get a 59-day visa extension. It was done very quickly, and I was not overcharged. Previously, I got my visas in Sabang. Then later there was an office in Puerto Galera, just open on Wednesdays. On one occasion, a young Swedish couple were before my turn. I overheard what they had to pay.

When it was my turn, I sat down at the office, but with my Filipina girlfriend. Very friendly immigration, asking us if we're going to get married. Then to our surprise, I was charged ₱500, less.

There were three Filipinos organizing the visas. After I paid the money, the woman said "How much your change sir?" 🤔 I guess, different prices according to where you apply?

After 8½ years on a Caribbean island, I'm busy planning to spend my last few years in the Philippines. Is there still an immigration office in Puerto Galera? I'm not up-to-date with current prices. I  hope 4,000will cover the 59-day visa?

I got my 13a visa from Chicago consulate 2023.  I went to boi an hour after I arrived and was told I could walk into quarantine.  We go there and are told I need to make an appointment.  I made an appointment and went to olongapo who checked my medical and gave me a polio vaccine and stamped my passport cleared.  Back to boi for acr card application and 20+days later back to pickup 5  year card. 

Hi,

The office in Puerto Galera is permanently closed. The next ones are in Calapan and Batangas.

The first 30 days are free and for the extension you need to pay. According to the Web site of the Immigration it is now 3030 PHP for the 29 days extension. You can also consider to fly to Hong Kong, spend some days there and return for another 30 free days.

all the best
