australian traveling to philippines Visa Issues
Hello there,
I asked the consulate in australia a few questions, but they didn't reply to my last email! I heard you can travel to philippines for the visa free 21 days and then apply for the 3 month or even a longer Visa whilst you are there, not clear if this is true or not? Also if I did it this way I would have to show a leaving ticket before the 21 days and then rebook it if I got the visa? If anyone can assist with a URL link or their own experience please let me know thanks kevin |

Hello Kevin
Before you arrive in the Philippines, you can arrange a 59 day visa in advance. If you don't want to bother arranging a 59 day visa in advance, you will be given a 21 day visa waiver, when you land in the Philippines, so long as you have an onward ticket and a passport with a 6 month validity. Your onward ticket does not have to be for within 21 days of your arrival. I usually arrive from Australia with a 1 year ticket and have no problems. If you want to stay longer than 21 days, you can arrange an extension. The first extension is for 38 days which takes you to 59 days which is the length of the visa you could have arranged in advance. After that, extensions are arranged two months at a time until you have been in the Philippines for a year, then you have to leave.
