Jollygoodfellow Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I have to take a trip out this year and it would work out better to come back with a BB privilege. But l know convincing the GF that l need to take a trip with the wife is not going to be easy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been working in Taiwan for many years, so no problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have experience with this. My wife's US visa can take around 18 months and we want to stay together as a family while our daughter learns some Tagalog. Thanks. The answer is both yes and no. You cannot "extend" the Balikbayan privilege (it is not a visa). You can get a "new" BB passport stamp if you and your wife exit/return to the Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Peterson Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Just thought i would put this up in case anyone does not fully understand the BB stamp ***She further explained that those who are admitted as Balikbayans are given an initial stay of one year, which they may extend for another one, two, or six months. Those who do not qualify, but are within the list of 157 countries eligible for visa free entry pursuant to Executive Order No. 408, get an automatic 30-day visa upon their arrival.*** Source; https://pia.gov.ph/press-releases/releases/1016756 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
