This will be good move if all briberies are removed from all departments in the Philippine government especially the department of immigration and department of transportation. And all airport staff including security are replaced due to deep corruption and briberies. They are all connected to each other and must be stop.

philippine bureau of immigration is the 2nd most CORRUPT agency in the philippines after customs office.
philippine embassies situated in other asian countries specially india pakistan making billions of pesos in bribes every year. a very long time ago I went to philippine embassy in new delhi india to apply for a visit visa for a friend of mine and we were shocked when they refused us even to submit a visa application and the ambassador told us to see an indian travel agent instead to get that visit/tourist visa for my friend he even gave us the phone number of that agent ! can you imagine that.
but my heart broke when that MF ambassador/commissioner told me not to speak in tagalog inside the premises of the philippine embassy WOOOOW.

Who on earth would come to the Philippines for a two week holiday if they need police clearance to leave .

[yogimaster]

I think some of this is already being implemented. For example, immigration offices no longer offer 6 month visa extensions and limit the extensions to 3 months. Also, an exit clearance is already required after staying for 6 months or more. Unfortunately, the new rules seem to be making it harder, not easier, for foreigners to stay in the Philippines.

Do the Philippines Immigration Officers stop asking for bribes? I know a couple of years back, there was this significant eye-opening incident that was published in all the major Philippines newspapers, how Buraue of Immigration officers in Manila extorted foreign nationals and forced them to bribe the officers. Also, if you talk to any immigration lawyer in the Manila area, they will typically ask for double fees, as, according to them, 50% will go to bribe immigration officers. This is a shameful practice at the Philippines governmental level and should be stopped.

What will the old 13A spousal visa be under the new class.

[edwardkitson]

USA should apply the same rules when Philippine citizens enter...

I applied an 30 day extension for my tourist visa last year, they gave me a ARC card i got hit for 7500 pesos, , over 6000 pesos for 30 day extension and 1500 pesos for a ACR card my filipina tried to question, the immigration officer-about the excessive charges, but he just smiled like he was pissed off, at me for some reason, , , same thing when we to pay at the checkout, he added on 1500 and didn’t reply to my GF questions, i was pissed off but kept silent, cause i knew i could get easily banned

[johnwilliams]

Please share more about the "Startup" Visas. Does that have to do with start-up companies or organizations looking to establish their offices in the Philippines, please?

[MRDPG]

4:44 does this part apply to a 30 day visa upon arrival for tourists or only for foreign nationals living in the Philippines ?

[batchboy]

I've been there 5 times but never had any process for leaving after 30 days, please explain what's going on where I'm needing apply to leave? Huh? Wth?

[allanpatricio]

how about foreign nationals staying less than 30days do they need now a visa for this new law?

[davidmurdoch]

The Philippines Bureaucracy is why many canos are going to Thailand to roost .

[PeterLebrun-ux]

Has anything changed for a US citizen traveling from the US to visit for less than 30 days? Can that still be done just on a US passport

[dfuller]

What changes are coming for spouses of Filipino nationals?

[chrisnadres]

[davidfortney]

I too expect to apply for a SRRV visa as retired military, bu in question is the ruling says Retired members of military in "officer Ranks. Does that include "non-commissioned officers such as Naval Petty Officers?

[GerryLynch]

I AM WONDERING IS THE 13 A VISA STAYING THE SAME OR ARE THEY CHANGING THAT TOO

[gerrymcnally]

Great Info. I'm glad that the Philippine Government has not touched the Balikbayan Program, that worried me a bit. As a retired US Customs/Immigration officer, I was interested in how the Philippines used the alphabet system for the non-immigrant visas. The US uses the same method, but looking at them, only the F category is the same. Seems like the Philippines modeled their new system after the US system. I would be interested to see the length of stay for each category and see if they match up. And I have subscribed to your channel.
