You positive on that? Do I still need to get exit clearance?

Any idea if they charge by the day or just one straight fee for up to a month overstay?

Some people get told to go pay the overstay at immig office and miss their flight, some people are allowed to pay at airport, theres no consistency

Def need to go do exit clearance so might as well go extend visa and do exit clearance at the same time

I think I remember reading someone was able to extend just a few days, yes, but there's no consistency between immigration offices

My friend overstayed 6-7 months

and just went to the main office yesterday(they won't process long overstays at other locations) and his bill was about 20k php total. That included the affidavit for overstaying, the exit clearance, and of course all the visas and motion for reconsideration/ fees.

You definitely will need the exit clearance if you have been there for 9 months consecutively. I would try to go there asap if your flight is on the 28th.

Could be wrong here... but I think they take your fingerprints or whatever and make sure you haven’t committed a crime

Think it’s if you stay longer than 6months. Otherwise I don’t think you can leave

What exactly are you looking for? If you want high end chairs, try:

http://www.ultramodular.com.ph/products/seatings/
http://cwc.com.ph/type/seating/

If you don't want high-end, there are many options.

I believe jspill is the resident uroligist here. Zithromax or doxycylcine, your pick.

Cebuanos def way cuter but my god this city is so dead. All girls on mango / waitresses are all the same quality as infos crush

You def need a buddy in this city to take advantage of all the clubs and fancy bars where going alone is the worst/weird

Need to find some Filipino open Karaoke/live band type places... if any suggestions?

Hello
This years vacation have been ordered.

So im wondering about a few things.
Any good poker rooms in Cebu?

Also, i was at city of dreams last time i was in Manila.
I met someone that could hook me up with some discount on one of the hotels on City of Dreams. But unfortunately i lost his the number.
Anyone here know if they do some discount of you log some hours at the tables ?

If you are planning to pay in cash then ask the floormen for a room. There is a racket in Manila over free rooms. People will win them, sell them to a floor man or hostess etc. Then that person will try to resell it at a higher price.

Thank you guys for all the answers. Paying cash is no problem, just a little bit harder when coming from 24 hour travel with 50kg of luggage. Going to the casino, looking for a floor man. Perhaps ill take the fist night at a hotel close by, then take a taxi and try to find a floor man than can help me out for the following days.
Again, thanks so much for the help.

Will also be traveling a bit in the in the country. Finally found a pokerroom in Boracay, but that island is closed now

Any knows of pokerrooms in Cebu, Dumaguete, Bohol, Siquijor. Feel free to shout out if you do.
