Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines? - Page 536

i want to see the slum in tondo. is it dangerous during the day?

i'm going to guess not, but i'll put it out there to see whether i'm missing something here.

hi can someone give me the quick answer for:

1. How long can you extend you visa for with a uk passport? (3 months / 6 months)?
2. How much does it cost?
3. Which immigration office is fastest and easiest to do so?
4. Once you have the visa extension can you enter and leave the country with no issues at will?

if i remember correctly it looks like this:

1 month: ~3k peso
2 month: ~4-5k peso

If its your first time getting the 2 months it will be up to ~7-8k as they force you to get an ACR card (identification card). Can extend as much as you want without leaving. For some reason i believe they stopped doing 6 month extensions but i could be wrong here.

If you stay longer than 6 months without leaving, you are not allowed to exit the country unless you go to immigration and get exit clearance to make sure you havent commited a crime.

All you need to do is take your passport. If you pay for express lane you get your passport back same day. If you want regular service you usually have to go back the day after to collect your passport.

You will need an onward flight within the first month of arrival. (not sure how much they enforce / check it though because the last two times i entered they asked if i got a flight out, lied about the date and they let me through)

when i first arrived there was a place called stardust, i remember being wankered one night and watching the show they put on and it being pretty cool (it might have sucked, no idea, too drunk).

Did all the workers move to a different venue or did the show just get killed when they closed down?

hypermarket is the nuts, way better than the over priced stuff u can find at cash n' carry. on my way back from the market i caught a ride in a weird taxi, which was just a dude peddling a bike and me riding along in a side car. good times. at least there isn't exhaust blowing in your face like with the trikes.

Just read some news saying that Duterte blocked one 'big' casino project and that he will not let build any new casinos while he is president.

are there any youtube channels from the Philippines Poker scene, like the Tropper does from Las vegas. Can careless if he is good but tells you what you can expect in Philippines poker rooms and around places with live poker, a street scene from a poker players eyes.

Not looking for his strategy or play by play hand analysis

Is online gambling illegal here? I cant sign up to idn or unitbet, I unfortunately changed my existing GGpoker account to the Philippines and now cant use that. I cant log into 888sport but poker seems to work.

So any of you here are sports bettors?

Can I use my Bet365, Betfair, Pinnacle, Unibet accounts etc in the Philippines?
