Mick Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Just for info, I landed back in Manila last night with the wife, and got the year visa again, this now is just a stamp with entry date, no expiration date, so questioned him, he said you are in the system so it's automatic 1 year.... Mmmm so let's see next time I leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Yep...mine was the same last July (with small 'BB' written on it). I'll be getting my arse down to Immigration pretty soon though, to start the 13A process... so hopefully won't be needing a flight out next time.

Not sure, because she will need to be with you when you come back to get the Balikbayan. And have a copy of your marriage license with you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollygoodfellow Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I see no problem. You are good for 12 months. Nothing complicated at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per usual I suppose it depends where you live as to the rules.I also had to do a NBI clearance,I have heard a few times that the people who do their yearly report at Mandaue only have to take their I card, down here it is I card Passport and 5 photocopies of certain things.
