Another Visa Question

2 years ago
Here's my plan. Does anyone know if I am permitted to do it?

I am moving to Iloilo Province when I retire. My wife will go to our house in October. I will follow in December.

I will have to travel on a tourist visa with a throw away round-trip ticket in order to enter the RP without her.

My question is, can i go to the Bureau of Immigration in Iloilo City with my wife to convert my tourist visa to a Balikbayan visa while we are there in Jan. 2023 and file for a 13a, which will take time?

Any advice will be appreciated.
