"Stamp" @ NAIA Airport

[BughouseMaster 3]

Hello!

Had a very simple question regarding the date of the stamp the immigration officer does upon arriving Philippines. If my flight arrives @ 11PM but I arrive at the immigration counter (before baggage claim) @ 12:01A, will the stamp say the date of the NEW day? Or will it be stamped still on the date that I actually landed Philippines? I am simply wanting to MAXIMIZE the 21 bloody days.

PS: I want the RIGHT answer!!

Well since you did not post this in the PI regional forum, I'll give you my experience at the Almaty airport as all flights I have taken arrive at 2300+ and you typically go thru immigration near mid-night. Every time my visa is stamped the next day--i.e. I arrive on the 26th at 2320 and the date is the 27th. I personally would not count on it and plan accordingly. If you do cut it that close, what happens if you have problems leaving on your planned date of departure? What are the fines or conquences should the plane not leave and now you are over the validity period of your visa. I know Kazakhstan makes it such a PITA that I will always leave 5-6 days on the end of my visa just to CMA as the next flight out is usually two days later.

Have a good trip,

Dave

Hi, if you arrived like Sep 2 @ 2320H, the first day count starts at Sep 03..(even ifyou finally approached Immig at midnight )

[Thomas&Cleofe 358]

A visa is only $30.00.

...or that was the cost when I got my visa to Phil

Wait just a minute and I'll call NAIA to find out who's going to be on duty the night you arrive. He will know the RIGHT answer.

So are you saying at a certain time (say 2300 hours), they stamp the NEXT day as the entry day? Do the immigration officers stamp depending on the actual time someone reaches them? Because if thats how it works then I am simply planning to come in at 11:30P then be sure to be at immigration @ precisely 12:01 AM so I get a FULL day.

Anyone who knows for certain how they work lemme know, thanks.

I'm confused, you can stay for 6 months without a visa in the Philippines.

Really...??? The law must have changed. I was required to have a visa.

VISA

Tourists can visit the Philippines without a visa if staying in the country for 21 days or less; provided tourists have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months and a return ticket or a ticket to another destination outside the Philippines. If you wish to stay longer you must obtain a Visa Extension either before your trip from a Philippine Consulate or Embassy. Or, once in the country, you may obtain it from the Bureau of Immigrations.

Maybe you also want to consider the Philippine Crazy weather, cuz you wouldn't know if we got a bad weather during your arrival, and your 2300 arrival in the PI might get delay or something.
