Question, but first, this is fantastic information. Thank you for all your videos, we've learned so much.
Regarding this condition: The term “balikbayan” shall mean a Filipino citizen who has been continuously out of the Philippines for a period of at least one (1) year
I am a Canadian citizen and my wife is a Philippine citizen and has permanent residence in Canada.
We have been out of the Philippines for more then 1 year. We plan on returning for approximately 4 months, so my understanding is that when traveling together, we can enter as Balikbayan and there would be no need for me to get tourist visa extensions, etc ( Canadians are initially allowed 30 day visa free, then I need to get an initial 1 month, then a 2 or 6 month extension which is both troublesome and costly )
The question based on the condition above, is after our 4 month visit to the Philippines, we would return to Canada for about 8 months, then travel back again to the Philippines, however this time around, my wide would not have continuously been out of the Philippines for at least 1 year
How does Balikbayan work in this scenario? Do we not qualify in future years unless we stay out of the Philippines for at least 1 year?
I know I can get a 13A spousal visa, but we currently have no plans to reside full time in the Philippines, so Balikbayan seems to make more sense, unless this 1 year condition would cause me not to qualify.
Note that I would always be traveling with her
Any information would be extremely helpful. I have tried to ask 2 different embassies and consulates and they just referred me to the Balikbayan Act to read, but didn't answer the specific question when I asked for clarity
Thank you and please keep producing your amazing videos!

Thank you for your very important information.

[rudyuy]

Balikbayan does not need to present a return ticket simply because he can stay up to one year.

[walkerfamilylasvegaschannel]

So we have to travel together pala. I was thinking of me and Burjok can go home first then after two wks uwi din si Billy. Di pala pwede. Uwi tayo this summer gang. Two months vacation ng mga bata.

[MD-sbos]

Kelangan ba talaga ng return ticket? Sa website kc ang sabi hnd kelangan ng return ticket.

[joannamarieellana]

So, makukuha lang po yung balikbayan visa upon arrival sa philippine airport as long as may dalang requirements?

[jocelynkaiser]

Gusto kulang malaman kong powdi mag balikbayan yong Europa passport plas old philippines passport salamat

[Louiex]

If I leave the Philippines before the 1 year expiration date and then come back to the Philippines at a later date (let's say a month later), will I be granted a NEW 1 year Balikbayan Visa upon arrival?

[johnashleyvitor]

Is there a chance na ma-deny ka if you try to avail Balikabayan Visa? or tanggap na agad if I have my Old PH passport and birth certificate? Thank you!

[AlekaDanielle]

Hello po, where do I avail my Balikbayan privilege? sa nAIA airport po ba? and who do I ask po?

[ClaudeRosemondJeSca]

I am told you don’t need a return ticket because it’s a one year visa and that’s on the embassy website

[elengobres]

Hi maam jocelyn. I am a balikbayan married to with saudi passport. I want to go for vacation to ph this dec and when i purchase the thicket they told me to get visa first is it really? Because i went there many times and the immigration upon arrival gives me free visa for a year. Thanks and God bless.

[IEatGlue-]

Can you work in the Philippines legally as a foreign spouse if you enter under the balikbayan privilege.

[ApDev]

Hello po, I am currently a US citizen. I am flying to the Philippines this October and I bought a one way ticket. Will they let me in the country without a return ticket? because I recently found out about the “no return ticket no entry” policy after purchasing my plane ticket. If so can I apply for the balikbayan program under the“former filipino” category? Also will I be able to apply dual citizenship in the Philippines? Thank you.

[tonyanderson]

Hi question, is there any documents beside your passport you need to present at your departure airport or any other airport in your route to the Philippines for the balikbayan visa?

[secretsniper]

[raffyarranz]

[maopayumo]

I have been out in the philippines for more than 2 years, but still holding a phil passport, am i considered a balikbayan?

[AshVlogs]

Hi my husband is born and raised in the Philippines and was a filipino citizen, He recently was Naturalized in the States, and now is a US. Citizen, does he fall under the balikbayan program? and does this mean he does not require a visa to enter the philippines? My daughter and I are both dual-filipinos and have PSA birth-certificates and we currently live here in the philippines, and my husband would like to visit us. he will be traveling alone

[bloodyfufuu]
