Overstaying visa by one day.Country forums / South-East Asia Islands & Peninsula / Philippines | ||
Hi | ||
Just extend your visa once here in the Philippines. It costs 2020 pesos for the 38 day extension, if you let your visa expire it will cost you a extra 1000 pesos. Check the immigration site for a list of offices, better to go to one of the provincial ones. | 1 | |
You might want to check what they stamped on your passport though. The officer who stamps it writes down how long you could "stay until". I expected to see 21 days on mine but both times I went, the officer wrote down "one year". I was so stupid the first time I went. I assumed I needed an extension and didn't even look at my stamp, so I paid for an extension for nothing!!! | 2 | |
