The blood clot might dislodge where the extraction was if you exercise. If that happens you will get a dry socket where the extraction was. A dry socket is painful and basically is an infection from air, germs getting into the wound.

I clot like it's going out of style. I have to make small cuts or punctures bleed or healing is delayed. The only time I will bleed is a stretched wound like a tooth socket or one time I went to the hospital to get a piece of steel taken out of me that was left in me so long it stretched the wound so it couldn't spring back immediately. That release waiver for not having the express lane is a new one on me. I'm not required to do that in Naga CamSur. If I were to be late extending, that would require automatic Express Lane Fee.

That is true Michael. I have been satisfied with my medical experiences here. I have friends here who are happy with knee replacements in the PH. The first dentist I visited after college told me he was going to fix everything with gold. He gave me a huge quote of thousands of dollars and told me to get a loan and come back. I didn't go back to him. I have seen many dentist since and quality often doesn't seem to have much relationship with price. It costs much more to do business in the USA with liability insurance being a big factor. I usually charged business customers in California 2-3 times as much for my services as other states to do noise control because the costs and risks of doing business there are much greater.

I have used Regular Lane many times now. It can save quite a bit of money in the long run -- as long as you don't need your passport back soon. Here's what you have to do: 1. When filling out the form, check the Regular Lane box (d'oh). 2. Submit the form to the officer at the entrance. He will try to discourage you by saying the process will take two weeks. Don't give up, say it's fine (make sure your current visa / visa waiver doesn't expire sooner -- although about 10 days is still OK). He will tell you that you have to go to a lawyer to sign a waiver. 3. Go to a small law firm located at the back of the BoI in J-Centre Mall. Ask for said waiver. It says you accept that your passport will be kept for 2 weeks and that you assume all the risk involved with that. 4. If the notary public is in the office, the process will take 10--15 minutes. You will have to pay P300 for this. 5. Go back to the BoI office and submit your application together with the waiver. 6. Wait until they tell you to pay for the extension and let you know when you can collect your passport. Voila. You've saved 700 pesos. To avoid visiting the office again just to collect your passport (which costs time and money), simply come back a bit later, e.g. a few weeks before the next expiry date, collect your passport and then apply for another extension on the same day by repeating the whole process. This trick will save you money AND time as you will no longer have to sit around waiting for your visa to get processed (which can take more than 1 hour in the usually busy Mandaue office).

Sadly, that's incorrect unless you are married to a filipina, at which point income would be irrelevant. You have to apply for retirement visa which will be $1,400+ to apply. If you are prior military, your deposit could be as low as $1,500, but if not, based on your life expectancy/ age the deposit could be $20K-$50K. You will be on and paying for tourist visas also until you are approved unless you applied for AND received retirement visa before you arrive. You will probably be making several trips to the Philippine Embassy in your country if you try to get a retirement visa before arriving in the Philippines. This isn't comprehensive, but things you should study up on. I hope this helps.

One can avoid all of those trips to immigration and not have to worry about overstays if one gets the SRRV = Retiree Visa. You need not be of traditional retirement age!

If you're married to a Philippines citizen, your spouse is with you and you plan to reside in the Philippines, then you can obtain a 13(A) entry visa from the Philippines Embassy/Consulate in your home country. You won't need an onward ticket and the BI here will amend the 13(A) entry visa to a 13(A) resident visa after arrival. It costs less and is much less hassle than getting a 13(A) resident visa here in the Philippines, which is a multistep process and takes a year or more to accomplish. I think it can still be done if your spouse is in the Philippines. But it makes it more difficult as far as the necessary documentation is concerned. www.philippineconsulatela.org/consular-services-2/visa/spouse-or-unmarried-child-of-filipino-national
