That and tourist transportation, usually all we read about is the foreigner pumping money into money making schemes that the family has no experience of but they read about it once.

Terry P Posted June 12, 2020 Author Posted June 12, 2020 Hi guys First of all thanks for all of the valuable advice and information you have given me I've got a much clearer Idea of how it works over there now Can I ask a couple of questions regarding return tickets I enter on a 30 day visa free basis and at some point apply for a 29day extension Then I have a series of visa extensions up to 3 years I assume I must have proof of a return ticket at the end of each visa extension If that's so what is the most economical way to do it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what commonly known as throw away tickets, buy the cheapest ticket to anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey G Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I have a feeling after spending the first 6 months in the Philippines you have this nailed down quite well.... and assuming you stay... you'll be full of advice on how this works... and doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry P Posted November 16, 2020 Author Posted November 16, 2020 Hi guys Hope everyone is well Haven't been on for a while Didn't seem a lot of point while the world was closed Looks like there's an end on the horizon so it's time to return my attention to getting out of the UK Decided in June to book a one way with Qatar airways £500 a little expensive but I'm able to rebook with no fees or price hike as many times as I want latest flight date is end of January might be a little ambitious but I can rebook again. I thought it was a smart thing to do. I can envisage flight prices escalating if you are even able to get one when the skies open up for us I've found out you can apply to the Philippines embassy in UK for your 29 day extension and no fees and it's valid for 3 months apparently it's 3days to process If that's useful to anyone check it out online at eTA Philippines Anyone who remembers me the family has a haulage business there. That's going great we've added 2 trucks to the fleet. We're hauling essential goods so no problems with travel restrictions. That's income plus for us all The missus and her sons seem to have a grip on everything over there including looking out for changes that'll effect me Having said that you guys are directly affected by any significant changes to expat changes over there so a heads up would be appreciated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Old55 Posted November 16, 2020 Forum Support Posted November 16, 2020 Buying tickets in that way seems a very reasonable choice Terry. We just can't know what the future holds with the virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
