1 year visa in Philippines?

Hi Sir,

Maybe we could help you with that.

After the initial question, my curiosity became aroused, a tourist visa, according to the Bureau of Immigration may be extended 2 months or 6 months, I specifically asked about a one-year extension. Nothing about a 1-year extension, for a tourist the parameters laid out apply, 2 months or 6 months.

But im married to pinay and have copy of the marraige certificate?

Anyone with info on this topic?

If you are married to a Filipina. You may be able to avail yourself of the Balikbayan privilege 1 year stamp in your passport (it's not a visa). You must leave the country with your wife and return with your wife and request the Balikbayan stamp in your passport. Check the stamp closely and you should see the BB stamp and date. This may be the one program you are referring to.
The country you choose to visit is up to you. Many go to Hong Kong overnight. Though Kuala Lampur is also pretty reasonable. You choice.

Hope this helps.

When you apply for your resident visa, if your spouse is a Philippine Citizen you will be applying for a 13(a) visa. If your spouse is a former Citizen you will be applying for a 13(g) visa. With either of these visas you are also allowed to work in the Philippines!

The only requirement is that once per year (in January/February) you are required to check-in at the Bureau of Immigration office.

If you arrive with your Philippine Spouse. A One Year Visa is automatic.
I don't think you are required to leave together.

WOW..IS THAT TRUE ???

still, you have to apply for it! It's not like it will be given to you automatically

You CANNOT legally work on a 13A or 13g immigrant visa but there are other visas that you can work on:

Yep it true ,i got a 1 year BB visa automatically every time when I traveling with my wife no need to apply for it and we can leave the Philippines different time 😊

You can obtain a balikbayan visa (actually it's a stamp on your passport) by flying our of the Philippines for a day and returning w your spouse and all marriage documents - go the Filipino customs entry and request a balikbayan visa stamp.  I will be doing just that next month. Flying to an inexpensive place staying overnight and returning to Manila. - Steve

I dont know about tourist visa extension but i know that students now get a 1 year visa as against the 6 months duration that existed before.

I however am finding it difficult to get a work permit as a student that wants to combine school and work.
In other countries, this is so easy but not in the Philippines. Its frustrating.

maybe you are thinking of a balakbayan visa. not sure how long but check with the bureau of immigration

I have been told that the 6 month extension is no longer available. Please check to make sure.

Your right from what I hear no more 6 month extension

If your wifes passport is in her married name no problem with bb stamp

Hello, anyone knows if there is also a special visa for someone who has a son/daughter born in philippines with a filipina woman but they are not married? Thanks

Dole Order 120-12 exempt 13A visa holders from having a AEP (Alien employment permit) in other words you can work

Is there a definition of work? Are there limitations if your "work" is on-line and thus world-wide?

I know of a few that work online teaching English, they have no problems

I am going back to the Philippines late November for 2 weeks. Then back in march. 2019 to stay permanently.   Can i start my 13A visa in November then finish it in march? I am American citizen married to a filipina national.

What is the cheapest place to fly out of the Philippines to another country to stay for 24 hours?

Malaysia use to be the cheapest
