Default 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

Default australian traveling to philippines Visa Issues

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.

You can read more at my website:

I hope this helps

If you would like more information, write to me at
