Balikbayan Stay is Expiring | PHILIPPINES COVID LOCKDOWN

After almost one year on the One year Visa-free Balikbayan (BB) Stay privilege, it is time to think about what to do next. My only choice is to extend for an additional one (1), two (2) or six (6) months. We chose the 6 months at a cost of ₱12,153 which includes the ACR card and express service.

If there was no COVID, we would have either have gone home to the USA for a visit, or travelled to another country for a quick vacation getaway to get another BB stamp.

This is my day today.

The Balikbayan Stay privilege is currently suspended along with tourists entering the Philippines, however you can read more about the program on the official immigration website. https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/the-philippines-2/travel-to-the-philippines/
