So much concerns about Tourist Visa renewals, so I am posting my experience yesterday at Mactan Office in Gaisana Grand Mall of Mactan Island. I was in and out within 15 minutes for a two month renewal. NO Questions, NO request for additional documents, NO being pulled aside for an interview, NOTHING. Been here five years and nearly twenty months this time. I was prepared with everything including copies of my lease, banking records, new 2 X 2 pictures, etc. Did not need any of it. I always come with a printed prefilled application form obtained from the Bureau of Immigration website. I sincerely believe that helps to make the process smoother, while everyone else is filling out the form given to them by the security guard. I did post a separate Topic on new Exit Clearance Certificate location.
