3030 is the standard first time extension. The second one is higher because of the ACR card. When I went for my 2nd extension they told me 7630 with the acr card. I was only going to be there for 12 more days. I overstayed and paid less than 3k to exit.

I would not do a visa extension in person because they charge the 1000 express fee always, it seems. Using an agent, you only give the paperwork to the agent, and the total is less than doing in person. The reason for the quote of, 8000 for the second extension, is they are including the required ACR Card. Which most tourist do not already have.

It is more than that, though, because you have to also show an exit ticket from the Philippines when you enter the Philippines on a tourist visa.

If you’re married to a Filipina, and she travels with you, say to Thailand, for a few days, you should get a Balikbayan stamp in your Passport, which gives you a 12 months stay in the Philippines without the need to go to Immigration every 2 months.

The cost for extending up to the 59 day period has been 3030 pesos for ages.. The Immigration office in Marquee mall is efficient and quick.

Good reason for you guys to tie the knot! Balikbayan (if you travel with your wife or kids) is 1 year from arrival. Haven't tried to extend on that as I would always chose to fly around the flag-pole once a year. 7:39 looks like the river has stirred up some of Pinatubo's ashfall, same dirty grey.

Darren from Davao here, wait to you see the next extension from here. Either one month or two is very expensive now depending if you have an active ACR card. The slow travel now seems to be the way to go. Once Thailand 🇹🇭 approved 2 months free visa with a possible one month extension. Then most of the surrounding countries of the Philippines 🇵🇭 are allowing three months free visa. The SLOW TRAVEL is a very interesting way to deal with the visa prices in the Philippines 🇵🇭

The best visa is in the Philippines, The SRRV Military Visa is number one in my opinion. Under 50s like myself have very limited options.

Whatever they charge is fine because of the benefits you're getting here.

Thank you. I won't be coming to the Philippines!

Did you not have an option to decline express service?

You don't have to have the express service just check the normal one😊😊

Your 3,000 peso plus for 2 months is because they are charging you an 'expedited visa' charge. I just got my 2-month renewal and it was less than 1,800P pesos as I recall. The Dumaguete office asked me if I wanted regular or expedited. The office there should have done the same. Check your receipt and you will see the expedited charge.

@@chubsDubC They used to do that here, but now you have an option. The Immigration rules vary by office and it is totally screwed up and inconsistent.

@rounder400 inconsistent is right 😮

I was one of the last to get a 6 month online extension. I paid a total of 7268 , (the 2828 ACR renewal included). 1440 in fees. I'm thinking maybe someone added wrong 🤣 Seems like the prices are different every time you extend.

Guess where all the millions of pisos they collect on a daily basis go ???? all you need to do is visit the mansions where the immigration officials are living in -- the money doesn’t go towards road repairs or community needs -- the CORRUPTION is at it’s worse -- but like the old say everything must come to an end and what will happen is sooner or later is that foreigners are going to start going to other asian countries where they are not assaulted with visa extension prices and will leave the philippine immigration shaking because now those corrupted officials will no longer be able to afford their mansions and fancy cars 😡 !!!!!!!!!

They charge you more for the expedite process sir

My 1st extension, I did online and that cost me 3030 pesos and I paid it at a 7-11 kiosk. This was in Feb of 2023 when I did it. So thats the right price.

@@chubsDubC Not sure if after the 1st one it can be done that way. I got my ACR-I once my extension was a couple of days from expiration. Of course now we just leave the country and come back together so that our balikbayan status renews for another year. Yearly vacations that we would take anyway.
