Your fiance can book his flight for returning in 4 months (or whatever is the length of stay). When he is clearing customs have him ask for an extension they will stamp his passport for 59 days (for a fee of course). Then as the 59th day is drawing close he needs to head over to BI office and do another extension.

Hank is spot on, but I will add. When I cleared customs two weeks ago, he gave me a visa good for 1 year. Turns out that is standard for spouses.

I know you guys are talking about single people, but it's something I did not know.

So.. How long are you giving yourself to decide if you are gonna retire there?

We are here for a month. I am eating their foods, bathing like them with the bucket etc. So far this is my best trip ever. I think I can live here no problem.

Odd thing . Eating a Pinoy diet-Example

Breakfast--Egg, portion of rice, Chorizo

Lunch-- Pork, Small rice veggie

Supper- Wings, Salad,Rice

I am losing weight like crazy and my blood sugar (type 2) has leveled out so well I have stopped one of my meds.

Being boots on the ground I think a nice place can be rented here for around 20K Pesos or less. I have discovered quickly, I don't need a lot of the things I thought I did, like central AC

The best and cheaper way is to go to a Philippines Embassy where your fiancé lives and get a visa. They issue a visa for 59 days for less than $50. Then when he is in the Philippines, have him extend before the 59th day is up. We did that few months ago. The only thing was, my husband's visa will expire for one day and then we were leaving that night out of Cebu. We went to immigration in the morning to extend for a day. They still charged him for $200+ for. 2-month extension. He was given a 2-month extension automatically for an overstay of 1 day. He has been asking them if he could have a shorter extension for a lower rate, etc. But apparently, they don't offer that service.

By the way, we did not arrive together in the Philippines, that's why he could not get the Balikbayan visa. We went home 4 months apart but left Phils together.
