Do I have to leave for a two-year expired tourist visa in the Philippines?

First of all, we need to understand that it is very troublesome to deal with the Philippine tourist visa overdue for two years. The tourist visa overdue for two years will face high fines and may also face the risk of (OTL) forced departure. But do you have to leave? Not necessarily!

After the visa expires, due to various reasons, tourists often face different choices, returning to China or staying in the Philippines. There are different solutions to these two situations:

1. Choose to Stay in Philippines

1. Handling overdue results, paying fines, etc. (for details, please refer to the article on handling overdue results of travel certificates, which will not be introduced in detail here)

2. There are two ways to stay in the Philippines

First of all, you can choose to apply for MR renewal of 9G work visa, and the other is to apply for Philippine investment immigrant visa, retirement visa, etc.

The full name of MR mentioned here is Motion for Reconsideration, that is, administrative reconsideration of overstaying. Since the process of handling MR is complicated and the total cost is equivalent to the cost of 9G work visa for one year, people prefer to handle 9G work visa. If the 9G work visa can be applied for up to 3 years, it can legally stay in the Philippines for 3 years after the application is completed. Within 3 years, as long as you buy an air ticket, you can return to China at any time.

2. want to return home

1, deal with overdue results, pay fines, etc.

2. handling MR

3. Visa extension certificate (usually two months)

4. ecc Customs Clearance and Exit

A brief introduction to ECC customs clearance. The full name is an immigration clearance certificate, which is used to prove that foreigners have no criminal documents in the Philippines, such as whether they have complied with local regulations and policies during their stay in the Philippines, and whether they have committed crimes. ECC-A are generally handled for expired tourist visas.
