    I'm a US citizen, I go to Immigration department and pay for extended stay, I've been in this beautiful country for a little over two years, minus one exit back to the States for my mom's birthday and my nephew's wedding. I currently have a six month extended visit with a Philippine "alien" identification card. It was a lot cheaper than a plane ticket to the states and I didn't miss any rice, three times a day 😂. I love it here, food is great and the people are very nice

Thank you so much for making the information straightforward and accessible. I'm planning to get an extended stay up to 60 days, so I have plenty of time to experience the food, the culture, and of course the wonderful people. Salamat po!

    I’m a Filipino by birth and now a US citizen married to a foreigner American citizen. We have lived in the Philippines for 15 years and 2 of my sons were born there. My question is are they considered “Operation of Law?” or do they still need to apply for dual citizenship? And if they fall in the “Operation of Law” category, how can they verify and acquire that document.
    Thank you for your channel, it is very informative and helpful.

      There is only a 13A marriage visa or SRRV retirement visa for permanent residency. If you have ever been in the military with an honorable discharge, SRRV Expanded Courtesy has a lower deposit of $1,500. Looking at the other SRRV options, they have a significant deposit of $10,000 or more. The only other way is to become a citizen, which can take 10 years to accomplish.

    You might have a valid I-card already, but if you use the Eservices on line for visa extension, they will charge you for another I-card. Its just a flaw with their website. You can also apply for a 6 month Visa extension, but if you only get approved for a two month they keep the difference in money. They tell you on website no refunds. Another screwup that nobody in immigration checks.

According to an article I read, children born in the US with Filipino parents after January 1973 (correct me if I'm wrong) are considered dual citizens including their children. How can we prove that my daughter is dual citizen. Her birth certificate shows country of origin of mother as Philippines. Is her birth certificate from Hawaii sufficient to be considered dual citizen? What should we do? Betty

I wanted to be able to stay for good but also visit back in US if I need to, because my only child and 4 grandkids are staying in US. I am considering of buying a small property in the PI. I heard that the only way it's possible is to have a dual citizenship. I will definitely comply with the law.

      No, you don't. You can apply for the SRRV, a special resident retiree visa. It allows you to stay in the Phils. indefinitely, enter and exit anytime, multiple times. No expiration.
      However it requires you to put US$1,500 in time deposit (CD) in an accredited bank. I am a US citizen, a former Filipino and now retired in the Phils. My American husband got the same visa as my dependent.

      There are a few SRRV options but many married expats have gone fir the 13a visa sponsored by the Filipina spouse. You have a probationary for the 1st year and the converted to permanent which is valid for 5 years. Then just have to renew. No deposits.. It's about $300+ to apply and takes a few months.

    One more thing, returning to America, make sure you don’t over stay, not even for a day. My son and girlfriend was finalized over 20,000 pesos for over staying for one day. They will not let you board, if fees are not made. What happened was, when they purchased there tickets it was one day exceeded, because airlines said it was the only scheduled that they have available. My son and girlfriend wasn’t aware of the situation. Immigration will do everything to make bucks out of foreigners, balikbayan and OFW.

      Philippines travel from the USA doesn't require a visa, just a valid passport, US to Philippines is visa free, all you need is an address of where you're staying in the Philippines and on your initial flight into the Philippines, you must have an exit ticket precooked for leaving within 29 days, buy a ticket to Singapore or Malaysia for around $50 or so, you don't have to get on that flight, but you can go to Bureau of Immigration and purchase an extended stay for one month, two months upto six months. They will issue you an Alien Identification card which is good for one year, Even though you have your Philippine ID card, you will have to go back to immigration and apply for an additional extended stay, I've been here in the Philippines for two years now and it really isn't difficult as long as you follow their simple requirements. The people are wonderful and the food is excellent.

      Benefits: you will be a permanent resident. You don't need to have an exut/ return ticket if you re-enter PH from a trip abroad. You also won't need to pay for visa extemsion fees every 2 or 6 months (but you have to report yearly to Immigration, around January). AFAIK you can also work or own a business with the 13A visa.
      Disadvantage: you can't criticize the PH govt publicly (the BI can revoke your visa). If you (as couple) decide to live/ reside abroad, you'll have to request BI to revoke your 13A since if you're not able to renew it (due to not being in PH), the fines will add up. You still can't own land but you can own a condo unit.
