Philippines Long Stay Visa for Visitors

Philippines Long Stay (6 Month) Visitor Visa

Foreigners intending to stay longer in the Philippines can now apply for a six-month, long-stay tourist visa that has been created by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
Previously, the BI granted foreign tourists a maximum stay of two months each time they apply for visa extensions.

A spokesperson said: “Through long stay visa, we expect lesser crowding in our offices due to the decreased volume of visa extension applicants”

This will be more beneficial for those who do stay longer, and will avoid the waiting every two months at the Immigration office. However, there appears to be no financial savings.

ALIENS ADMITTED AS TOURIST VISA (9A 59 DAYS)

All aliens who will stay for more than 59 days are required to register with the following fees:

	ADULT (15 years old & above)	MINOR (14 years old & below)

Monthly Extension	500.00	500.00
Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR)	1,000.00	500.00
Re-issuance of ACR for (2nd entry of every entry after 59 days)	250.00	150.00
Exit Clearance (ECC)	700.00	200.00
Legal	40.00	40.00
Express Fee (Certification)	500.00	500.00
Express Fee (For processing)	500.00	500.00
Certification Fee	500.00	500.00
Head Tax	250.00
Express Lane Fee (For Processing of I-Card)	500.00	500.00
Additional Payment for I-Card	US $ 50.00	US $ 50.00

maximum extension for restricted nationals is one (1) month up to six (6) months only (for all expired visa, the updating fees for the payment of express fee will based in the number of months of extension)
for non-restricted nationals is two (2) months up to two (2) years (for all expired visa, the updating fee of express if every two months)
aliens who will stay for more than six (6) months are required to pay CERTIFICATE OF RESIDENCE TEMPORARY VISITOR in the amount of P 1,400.00.

It also appears to be now available at:

All Souls Regatta, Puerto Galera

The annual All Souls Regatta was organized first in 2004 with two objectives:

to provide the Philippine sailing community with a fun regatta at the start of the competitive sailing season; and,
to kick-start the holiday season in Puerto Galera a month earlier than usual.

In both objectives it has been a resounding success.

All Souls day in the Philippines is the 1st of November and traditionally a non-working holiday, so became a good day to hold this event.

The All Souls Regatta is organized by a long-time cruising yacht club of the Philippines, the Puerto Galera Yacht Club.

The following is sourced from the PGYC website:

Everyone is encouraged to enter into the spirit of the sport of sailing and to share their yachts with the many visitors who front up at the club for the Skipper’s Briefing.

All of the racing is organized under the Racing Rules of Sailing using the Puerto Galera Yardstick (PGY) handicap system, which rates performance above theoretical dimensional criteria.

All races are based on the pursuit race format, which means that yachts each have a different starting time based upon their PGY handicap, which is calculated such that all yachts that perform equally well, should cross the finish line together. Bow to bow competition is often evident within the last half mile on the approach to traditional finish line off Haligi Beach.

After the racing everyone knows who won the race for the day so there is no waiting before the party starts. The (usually) free kegs of beer are opened and everyone is encouraged to return to the clubhouse to rib the suitably thick-skinned handicapper for their variable performance on the day.

The All Souls Regatta is the largest annual gathering of sailing yachts in the Philippines and, apart from the IRC Class yachts (who battle seriously for bragging rights), all sailors come here with one objective: to sail with intent.

Yacht Owners

If you own a yacht and want to see how she may compete in the friendliest sailing event on the planet at Halloween then you should come to the All Souls Regatta. The entry fees are minimal and the fun factor is off the charts. If you do not have a crew then do not worry, there are always crew available at the All Souls Regatta, just waiting for the chance to help out . . . and they usually bring along a six-pack to help with the ship’s stores.

Experienced Crew Without Yachts

If you do not have a yacht in the Philippines, and if you do not want to bring one with you, then no problem. The yacht club will make sure you get a crew place on a yacht that matches your experience. Yacht owners will accept you aboard if you help out with drinks and munchies for the day on the water.

Newbie & Wannabe Sailors

Whether you are a newbie or a wannabe there is always a yacht with space for you to come along and try out the healthiest sport on the water at the friendliest sailing event on the planet at Halloween. If you know how to fetch & carry a six-pack of beer or a bottle of wine then you will be welcomed aboard at the All Souls Regatta.

Boquete Island, Puerto Galera

Boquete Island, Sto. Nino, is one of the islands in the Puerto Galera area, and is considered to be one of the Philippines’ top windsurfing destinations.

Puerto Galera is one of legs on the national windsurfing championship racing circuit. Every year in February, Puerto Galera traditionally hosts the second leg of the Philippine Windsurfing Championships on the waters off Boquete Beach. In 2012 the event became the Puerto Galera water sports festival, including both wind and human–powered water sports.

The best time for windsurfing in the Philippines is during the Amihan season, which lasts from early November until mid-April, when the weather is warm and dry, with steady wind conditions.

Its location is shown on the map here:
