13a Visa for Chinese national by Sandyaan

Hi, We are planning to move to the Philippines in the near future. I've been married to a Filipina for 8 years and with a 5-year old son. We've been living here in China and visiting the Ph once a year. (my wife works here) Getting tourist ...

I am really not certain what privileges (or otherwise) Chinese citizens have in the Philippines. You should already have sorted out the details of that aspect at the Philippines Embassy in China. But as regards the fact that you are married to a ... Read More

Family visa

It was 2 - 4 weeks. I suspect, because a child is involved, that your husband may have a lot of paperwork to process on his end first, though. Once you get your paper with the number (s) on it, the main processing is usually over. Of course, if your ... Read More

You say you are going to be staying with your wife? 1) If you are actually legally married with the marriage certificate to hand, have your wife join you at a nearby country (Singapore, Hongkong, Thailand etc), then when you both fly together and ... Read More

Expat moving back to the US with dog

I honestly do not know all the details...but I would be very surprised if you didn't have to place the dog in quarantine in the US for a period of time to ensure that it isn't carrying any communicable diseases. You should access the USDA ... Read More

Manila Taxi rules by swegolf1956

Manila Taxi Rule. Taxi drivers will undoubtedly try to cheat you. Expect it. One occasion as the price climbed to 1600 pesos per kilometer I just nodded my head. When we got stopped in a decent area in heavy traffic I got out and walked the ...

Yes, what amazes me more about the Philippines, with it's inherent graft and corruption at every level, are those precious jewels who remain honest even when their surrounding moral environment is totally polluted. To be honest, those are the ... Read More

New Visa Law by Panth

Foreign Tourists will be able to stay 6 months per vist to the Immigration offices instead of the 2 months,It will cost 13,000 pesos,I just read.

I notice you are extending your tourist visa by 2 months. Does this mean that you have already had a 1 month extension before applying for this 2 month extension? If so I wonder if this (possibly) new rule applies only to additional extensions ... Read More

Yes, that is the way it was done for me before - but one has to go first to the desk and they then usually refer me to an office (or sometimes ask me to wait to one side until another official arrives with a form and takes the fee etc). However, ... Read More

Just a Friendly Advice by tatang

Just a piece an advice for those who are planning to move or visit to Philippines. Do not use smart communications as your mobile carrier. They are so expensive with very slow signal. This is just base on my own experience.

I am now carrying both Smart and Globe. I got the globe because when you change countries and try to open your email (they are so paranoid these days) that they advise you that they suspect that someone has hacked your email account. Then you have ... Read More
