Extension or Deportation?
Find answers to your legal question.

I have overstayed my visa extension by 120 days here in the Philippines due to visiting my fiances relatives in different provinces where immigration offices were not available. Will I face deportation or penalties now that I have arrived back in Bacolod City where I received my first extension? Paying the penalty is no problem, but I need an extension to marry my Filipino fiance here in Bacolod City in May 2009. Should I go to immigrations or will it be better through an agent? If I need an agent, can someone suggest the best way to stay until after the wedding? I would also like to open a branch of my Engineering Company from the states here in the Philippines. Any suggestions on the best Visa to do so after the wedding?

It's no problem. You can do it either way. You can go in person to any BI Office and pay for an extension, and pay the fine for not getting it before the visa expired, or you can hire a fixer to do everything for you.

Generally, you can get a series of renewals that enable you to stay up to two years without leaving. However, each extension will become progressively more expensive. The full two years, if there are no late fees, will most likely run you about $500.

The best fixers usually can be found at travel agencies. NEVER hire a fixer who's just hanging out on the street by the BI Office.

Here's the fee schedule...
