What is the longest time I can stay in the Philippines?
You can come and stay 21 days on just your passport. You can then extend out 56 days at a time up to a year. Then you must leave the country for 48 hours and start all over. This method can get expensive for extensions, plane tickets, hotel rooms etc. you do have the choice to get a resident visa and stay up to 10 years. All you need do is apply for it. The (ACR-I card) as it is commonly called, is a credit card size card carried in your wallet.
