Hello
I am planning to come to the Phillipines on May 1 2024 as a tourist. I plan to stay 12 months. Just some clarification I need for now about what type of Visa I need for this situation.
I am currently in Japan. My nationality is Australian. First I should apply for a tourist Visa at the Phillipine embassy in Japan. Buy a ticket heading to Manilla on May 1 and leaving Manilla on May 30 heading backs towards Tokyo. Board the plane and arrive in the Phillipines. Around May 28 go to immigration at one of the offices in the Phillipines and apply for an extension to my tourist Visa. I believe they extend the tourist Visa another 59 days. So my tourist Visa will go to July 30. Keep renewing every two months. Is my understanding correct? Thanks, Chris
