Hi Has anyone got a special non-immigrant visas under Section 47 (a)(2)? As we will be staying in the Philippines doing volunteer work we would like to get this rather than 'doing' the 59day thing. Cheers Geraldine
the visa you want is not easy to get and i think you must do in manila its easier you go for the 59 days and extend again and again since your stay is only one year please check this website : The Bureau of Immigration, Philippines Official Website - VISA EXTENSION FEES (Updated!) or ask here: Bureau of Immigration Dumaguete Field Office Door # 8 Lu Pega Bldg. 38 Dr.V. Locsin St., Dumaguete City 6200 Peter Cabatingan Bueno - Alien Control Officer Tel. # (035) 225-4401 CP: 09182808425
Have you actually spoken to Peter of the B.I.D.(Bureau of Immigration & Deportation), Dumaguete? I'm sure he could help you, if you have a legitimate claim.
