There is more than 1 kind of 6 month visa. Was there a number/ letter designation with the 6 month visa you saw on the Philippine Consulate website? There is a 6 month multiple entry visa you can get before coming to the Philippines. I don't think you can get it once you are actually in the Philippines. Most people I knew did two month extensions, but if you think you are not staying that long you can do a 1 month extension. I believe that with the Long Stay Visitor's Visa, that it may be helpful if in your mind you replace the word Visitor with Tourist.

The LSVVE is a tourist visa for temporary visitors to the Philippines who wish to stay for up to 6 months but would like to avoid renewing their visas every two months. Currently this can only be obtained through the Main BoI office in Manila according to the BoI website.
To apply for this application you will need to do the following:
- Download and print the CGAF. (I have attached the form(s) to this thread, you can also check the BI Website to download this.)
- Submit the completely filled-out application form and attachments together with the passport to the frontline officer.
- If the applicant has no derogatory records, a BI Clearance Certificate shall be issued. (Otherwise, the applicant must proceed to the Verification and Certification Unit for Clearance.)
- Get the Order of Payment Slip and proceed to Cashier for payment.
- Pay the fees and get the Official Receipt.
- Submit the Official Receipt with the application form, attachments and passport to the receiving/assessment Officer.
- Claim the passport stamped with the requested extension of stay.
Non visa-required nationals - P9,400 + $50 (USD) for ACR I-Card
Visa-required nationals - P11,800 + $50 (USD) for ACR I-Card
Price is broken down at the BoI website. BoI - LSVVE (You might notice that the price here is slightly different from the BoI. I have subtracted the 2100 ICard fee from the total since it is dependent of the USD-PHP exchange rate and just posted it as a flat $50.)

You can read more about the visa requirements on Wikipedia.

I'm sure the BoI website has something on it but I just can't find it.
If you have any personal experience with obtaining this visa or have information to add let us know about it in this thread.Attached Files:
