Can I apply for a Philippine visa extension?

The Philippines is currently developing mutually beneficial relations with other countries, which has attracted many businessmen to the Philippines. Generally speaking, the stay period of Philippine visas is about 15 days. Many holders cannot handle their own affairs in the Philippines. Can the Philippine visa be extended?

Due to the relatively short stay time of the Philippine visa, the Philippine Immigration Bureau allows the holder to apply for an extension before the visa expires. As long as the applicant carries a valid passport and the reason for the extension, and pays the Philippine visa fee for the extension, he can apply for an extension of the Philippine visa at the Immigration Bureau.

Generally speaking, only people engaged in business activities in the Philippines can successfully apply for a visa extension. When applying for an extension, the Philippine company will provide the applicant with the reasons for the extension and assist in handling it, which can increase the success rate of applying for an extension.

If the applicant is sure that he or she cannot return home on time within the validity period, it is best to apply for a visa extension when he or she first arrives in the Philippines to avoid being forced to return home because of accidents and inability to apply for a visa extension.

Although the Philippine visa can be extended, the Philippine visa service center does not recommend applicants to apply for extension, because the relationship between the Philippines and China is not stable. I believe that people who have been to the Philippines have also felt that if there are some accidents in the relationship between China and the Philippines when they are in the Philippines, this will affect the extension of the applicant's visa application.

The validity of the Philippine visa is 30 days, which does not mean that the Philippine visa is only 30 days of stay, if necessary. You can apply to the embassy for a 59-day stay, which can also avoid the need to apply for an extension in the Philippines.
