Checklist for leaving and returning to the Philippines.

FindlayMacD · 2022-03-17T00:29:15+01:00

I had a call recently from Bureau of Immigration here in Cagayan De Oro with regard to my application for Motion To Reconsider which was filed in June 2021 as my 3 year stay here would end on August 22nd 2021. My hope was that we could apply for 13a because at that time, if I had left Philippines it was not clear if I would be able to return. Unfortunately when we eventually returned to Bureau of Immigration a few days later to apply for the 13a we were told that we could not file that application until we were give the decision on the Motion to Reconsider. Since then my 3 year stay ended and we have just been in limbo waiting to hear the outcome and when we visited Bureau of Immigration this week they added up all the fees for the Motion to Reconsider, visa charges and penalties since August 2021 and the annual renewal of my alien ID card which expired in November 2021. The total came to more than P35k but will legalise my stay here until May 22nd 2022 at which point I must leave the country, but thankfully I will be allowed to return. The purpose of my post is to try to find out everything I need to know about leaving the country and returning. I have heard recently that Covid Insurance is required and that only vaccinated tourists (which I am I think) (do I require a booster shot) can enter the country. If I fly to Malaysia or Singapore for instance, what will be required there to be able to board a flight to the Philippines, IE PCR test etc, throw away ticket and Covid Insurance.

Last post for me here, coach53 I would debate but your personal attacks aren't conducive to a good discussion. I bid you adieu, and personally I think your posts are a violation of forum rules hint hint

It seem you take side with these ignorant Americans, so not odd you dont want to debate with me about these false claims these ignorants make, because if you would debate against me about that, then you would LOSE as they have done...

(=I have asked them for proves of their claims a lot of times, but - of course - they havent provided any, because there arent any...

These ignorant Americans STARTED post BULLSHIT insults,

while I just said they are ignorant, which is obvious TRUE...
