Can an Australian with Philippine wife stay more than 21 days in Philippines?

1. you have 21 days free, day 20 i went to immagration in manila, around p500 for visa app, and p1000 for fixer was out of there in around 30 minutes, just take photocopies of everything with you {as there is que for copier there and bad copys} i got visa extended for extra 6months “all legal” and stamped in passport

2. If your wife is travelling with you, you can get a 12 month visa at entry.
   If not you may have to go to Immigration and get the extension there. You may be asked for your Marriage Certificate.
   Good luck, mate.

3. Yes..inquire at the Immigration and ask for extension. The Immigration here is not as strict as to other countries. Just make sure to bring your marriage documents with you.

   Good luck to you and your wife. 😉

4. Hello,
   You get a 3 weeks visa when you arrive at the airport. Sometime before the 21st day go to the immigration office and fill out the paperworks for an extension.

   If you do not want to go through all this then you might want to check out the 13a visa, also know as the balikbayan visa
   Under the Balikbayan Program (Republic Act 6788) of the Philippine government, the term balikbayan includes:

   1. A Filipino citizen who has been continuously out of the country for a period of at least one (1) year from date of last departure
   2. A Filipino overseas worker
   3. A former Filipino citizen and his family members as this term is defined hereunder, who has been naturalized in a foreign country and comes or returns to the Philippines provided that the former Filipino citizen can show proof that his or her former Philippine citizenship (e.g. old/cancelled Philippine passport, Birth Certificate, or naturalization papers) upon arrival in the Philippines.

   Foreigner spouses and children travelling with the former Filipino citizens may avail of this privilege by presenting before immigration officials legal documents establishing relationship with the former Filipino citizen upon arrival in the Philippines.
   These documents could either be a Marriage Certificate (for spouses) or Birth Certificate (for children). This privilege can only be availed of by family members/relatives if they are traveling to the Philippines together with the balikbayan (former Filipino).
