Flying into the Philippines without extended tourist visa
In January I will be flying into the Philippines, I will depart a month later. I was planning to get a 21+ days visa extension while I'm in the Philippines, but I'm wondering if my airline company (cathay pacific) will let me get on my flight without a valid visa for the entire period2
it would save you money to get a 59 day visa from a philippines embassy overseasas the cost of a 59 day visa from a philippines embassy cost from php1250.
but if you got a 38 day visa extension when you got to the philippines it
would cost you php3030. so it costs you $38 more.

interested in same info, but for Jetstar, flying in from Tokyo.asean, the problem with the visa in advance is that the embassy in London (and presumably others aswell) asks for a load of stuff, including hotel reservations, etc, which might be more hassle than paying the $38 more, depending on how many nights reservations they ask for - can you get away with booking just the first few nights on hostelworld?

the philippines embassy in london did not ask me for a hotel resevation.and by getting the visa in london I save 22 pounds.
I have also go visas from the philippines embassys in bangkok and laos and did not need
to have a hotel resevation.

nice one thanks,I foolishly thought this was the London embassy website:
http://philippines.embassyhomepage.com/
as it's the first thing that comes up in my search engine, but the info they give is in fact bo****ks.
It seems the application form does ask for a name and adress of a reference in the Philippines, but I guess the address of a hotel will be good enough.
