Today, I needed to go to the migration office because my Visa extension Bali will expire. However, most immigrants only get 21 days in the Philippines. Bear in mind NOT to pass the 21 days or you will indeed be fined. I had a good friend who was over a week late on obtaining his visa expansion and also had to pay 1,000 pesos (USD 22.50). On top of that, the following time he involved the Philippines he was questioned concerning why he was late getting the extension and also they told him to show proof of his return ticket because of it. Lumiere after that showed them evidence of his return ticket on his computer system, however they then requested for a hard-copy of the return ticket. He did not have one as well as the immigration employee was kind adequate to allow him pass anyhow.

The immigration workplace is located near D-Mall, but we wound up obtaining lost searching for it. Lumiere asked security personnel at Boracay Hotel and also he informed us it had to do with 5 minutes from where we were. We wound up discovering the migration office after strolling on the very same road as D-Mall. The migration workplace lies in the same structure as Nirvana Beach Resort. It had to do with 3:30 PM when we showed up as well as there were already a few individuals inside. We sat in comfortable chairs as well as awaited our turn.

Only one person was operating in the counter so I see how it can get busy. It appeared a bit disorganised since there was no actual line up. I was called up after Lumiere and I took a seat as well as the migration officer asked me for my ticket. She sought my stamp revealing the date I went into the Philippines and also told me I required to make duplicates of the passport web page as well as the stamp. There was additionally a migration type I needed to fill in.

I went over to the printing area with Lumiere. To arrive, make a left when you leave off the migration structure and try to find D-Mall on your left-hand side. Proceed walking down the road for about 5 mins and also you will undoubtedly see a location where you can do printing. They took my ticket and also made duplicates of the pages. One of the ladies working at the printing shop took a look at me and even said something in Tagalog. She then told me "She assumes you're handsome." Indicating the lady functioning the front counter. She was quite amazing truly brief and small. She was after that making remarks concerning exactly how the lady operating at the front bar liked my nose and also my smile. "Wow" I thought to myself.

When I completed my printing, I made sure to list my contact number as well as give it to her on a piece of paper. She grinned and the various other girl working beside her had a stunned look on her face. I told her "Give me a telephone call at some time." She considered me and grinned. I typically do not leave ladies my phone number, but I decided to attempt it this time. I'll let you know if she offers me a message.

Finally, I strolled back to the immigration office and there were SO MANY PEOPLE ... I figured out later a lot of them were waiting on their passport. There likewise had not been an appropriate lineup, as well as I talked to 2 Western ladies and told them they would certainly require to make copies of their passport web page for the access stamp. So make sure to do that before you also go to the migration workplace to avoid the hassle. I then provided the migration lady my key, the immigration file, and the copies from my core. She said "that will certainly be 3,050 pesos ($68.50)." I got the cash and also gave it to her. She after that informed me I would need to get the key tomorrow.

The hrs of the migration workplace are from 7:30 AM-5:30 PM. Monday-Wednesday so makes sure to go early in the week because they aren't open after Wednesday. The penalty for overstaying your visa is 500 pesos each day. Remember that they make DECLINE bank card repayments. Your visa extension will undoubtedly give you an added 38 days in the Philippines!
