RECONSIDERATION ON UPDATING AND EXTENSION OF AUTHORIZED STAY

Did you get approved immediately or not? How it works?

No passport goes to Manila 1100 peso

I'm in metro manila and there are other offices that accepts this application aside from BI main branch, so depending on where you go, they may or may not need to send your passport to Manila.

It is to my understanding that this process can be used to extend your stay past the 2 year/ 3 year mark.

However what I don't know is if this can be applied before or after you have already stayed your maximum allowed period or if there's a limit on how many times you can extend.

Their laws here regarding visitors is already one of the most lenient I have seen, You pay a fine (think its 500/mth, + you pay for the visa period of over stay + the visa period of the time you are planning to stay + plus the standard processing fees, etc.

I am coming up on my maximum stay period and plan to head to SM Aura office in the next week or so since they moved back to GCQ now, I'll ask about this and give you guys a update when it's done.

Wish me luck

Yes brother.  Your feedback on visa extension at sm aura is most helpful since  many expat stay here and it's not as crowded as main office in Manila.  Thank
