What should I do if I stay in the Philippines for more than 2 years due to the epidemic?

The new crown epidemic has been more than 2 years, recently many platform fans asked to hold a travel sign because of the epidemic in the Philippines for more than 2 years, if you want to continue to stay in the Philippines, if you want to return home what to do? Here is a question and answer in the form of a question and answer to you:

Q: I entered Manila with a 9A travel visa. It has been more than 2 years since I was unable to return to China due to the epidemic. What should I do if I am ready to return to China now?

Answer: You can apply for MR renewal ECC customs clearance.

Q: What is MR?

A: The full name of MR is Motion for Administrative Reconsideration of Overstay of Reconsideration. Those who enter the country with 9A tourist visa have stayed in the Philippines for more than 2 years and need to apply for MR when renewing it. It is very troublesome to deal with it. It requires a lawyer's signature and the director of the Immigration Bureau for approval. It takes about 2 weeks, and the handling fee will be much more expensive than the ordinary renewal fee, departure also requires a fixed invoice fee of 25000 pesos to the Immigration Department.

Q: Will MR be blacklisted?

A: OTL (departure order) will no longer be implemented after the deadline from March 1, 2020 (regardless of whether the residence time is exceeded or not). It is only necessary to pay the overdue fine and emergency fee in time to the General Administration of Immigration. It will take effect on September 7, 2021 until the end of the epidemic. Therefore, MR only needs to be paid and will not be blacklisted. It can be handled at ease.

Q: What if you don't leave the country and want to stay in the Philippines?

A: You can apply for MR renewal of 9G work visa, or you can choose to apply for Philippine investment immigrant visa, retirement visa, etc.

As the handling fee for MR and the fixed invoice fee collected by the Immigration Bureau add up to almost the cost of handling 9G work visa for one year, many compatriots in the Philippines directly handle 9G work visa when 9A visa is almost 2 years old. If 9G work visa can handle up to 3 years, they can legally stay in the Philippines for 3 years. Within 3 years, they only need to buy air tickets, you can return home at any time.

If you decide to handle 9G, remember to start handling 9G at the latest in the quarter before the tour is signed up for 2 years. It usually takes 1-2 months to handle 9G. In order to prevent various accidents, it is recommended to handle 9G earlier.
