BI Launches Long-Stay Visa

14 June 2013

Foreigners intending to stay longer in the country may now avail of a six-month, long-stay tourist visa that will be launched next week by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).

BI Commissioner Ricardo A. David, Jr. also announced the introduction of a new visa sticker that will replace the wet stamp used by the Bureau in implementing extensions of stay in the passports of foreign tourists.

David said the Long Stay Visitor Visa Extension (LSVVE) project was launched to spur tourist arrivals in the country by giving foreigners the privilege to prolong their stay here without the need to frequent the BI office.

Presently, the BI grants foreign tourists a maximum stay of two months each time they apply for visa extensions.
"Through this long stay visa, we expect lesser crowding in our offices due to the decreased volume of visa extension applicants," David said.

As for the new visa sticker, the BI chief said it will prevent the proliferation of fake visa extension stamps that has victimized many foreigners.

He disclosed that the sticker has security and tracking features that cannot be copied.

"It will also speed up transaction in our visa section, allow more efficient tracking of records and faster detection of forged and tampered stamps," The BI chief added.

According to David, the projects were initiated after meetings were meetings between the BI and Department of Tourism and Department of Foreign Affairs were held on what policy reforms can be initiated to further attract more foreign visitors to the country.

The tourist department had said it is aiming to increase volume of tourist arrival to 10 million by 2016.###

Het blijft allemaal nog vaag want bij mij rijst de vraag meteen of je die 6 maanden dan ook nog kunt verlengen met n nieuwe 6 maanden enz.

daarnaasr is Ricardo Davids teruggetreden als BI chef, dus wie weet wat de nieuwe chef weer gaat verzinnen.

MANILA, Philippines–Starting August, visitors from 151 countries can enter the Philippines without a visa and can extend their stay up to 30 days, according to the Bureau of Immigration (BI).

BI officer-in-charge Seigfred Mison said on Tuesday the visa-free entry privilege has been extended from 21 to 30 days as part of the government's efforts to draw more foreign tourists to the country.

The Department of Tourism is targeting 5.5 million foreign tourists for 2013 and double the figure by 2016. The tourism agency estimated that up to seven million jobs would be generated for Filipinos if the targets were achieved.

Mison noted that the new visa policy was adopted pursuant to a circular from the Department of Foreign Affairs issued on July 1. He said the bureau recently finished updating its computerized travel control systems in various ports of entry in time for the implementation of the new visa scheme.



59 days for Israel, Brazil visitors

While the scheme would allow foreign travelers up to 30 days in the country, visitors from Israel and Brazil shall be allowed an initial stay of 59 days following existing bilateral agreements, according to Mison.

He also emphasized that foreigners could only avail of the visa-free privilege if their passports were valid for at least six months beyond their intended period of stay.

"They should also present return tickets to their country of origin or onward tickets to their next country destination," he said.

When asked whether the new scheme would affect the bureau's collection, Mison said reduction might be minimal since many tourists who usually extended their visit actually stayed more than 30 days in the country.

"Yes to a certain extent since tourists who will be here for more than 21 days but less than 30 days will no longer file extensions," Mison told reporters.

"But reduction may not be significant since tourists who really extend stay here for more than 30 days," he added.

Kreeg net van de Rotterdamse consulaat te horen dat ik misschien geen visum hoef aan te vragen, alhoewel ik op het randje van 30 dagen zit.

"Honey I am now a real Filipino: "

Kreeg van de ambassade in Den Haag te horen dat het geldt voor 30 dagen of minder daar ik net 30 dagen op de Filipijnen verblijf, hoef ik geen visum te halen. Heb daarna weer de consulaat in Rotterdam gebeld en die hebben de afspraak voor een toeristvisum met mij gecanceld.  :floet:
