Tourist Visa Extension Cost

What it costs to stay on past the 59-day maximum initial stay, by lane and nationality. Two-month blocks are materially cheaper than monthly.

What this calculator does
It adds up the ladder. Visa-free entry under EO 408 gives 30 days, a one-off 29-day visa waiver completes the 59-day maximum initial stay, and everything after that is ordinary extensions.
The same 29 days, three prices
| Route | Visa waiver |
|---|---|
| Regular lane | ₱2,130.00 |
| E-services, online | ₱3,030.00 |
| Express lane | ₱3,130.00 |
The online route costs ₱900.00 more than the regular counter and only ₱100.00 less than express. What it buys is time: processed clean, the charter gives the whole transaction as 3 minutes.
After 59 days
| Age band | One month | Two months, non-visa required | Two months, visa required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | ₱2,150.00 | ₱2,650.00 | ₱2,950.00 |
| 14 to 15 | ₱3,150.00 | ₱3,650.00 | ₱3,950.00 |
| 16 and above | ₱3,400.00 | ₱3,900.00 | ₱4,200.00 |
₱500.00 buys the second month for an adult, which is why the calculator prices stays in two-month blocks. Extending monthly out of habit costs noticeably more over a long stay.
What a stay actually costs, regular lane, adult
| Total stay | Waiver | Two-month blocks | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 months | ₱2,130.00 | 0 | ₱2,130.00 |
| 4 months | ₱2,130.00 | 1 | ₱6,030.00 |
| 6 months | ₱2,130.00 | 2 | ₱9,930.00 |
| 12 months | ₱2,130.00 | 5 | ₱21,630.00 |
Visa-required nationals pay ₱4,200.00 a block instead of ₱3,900.00, so the same 12 months comes to ₱23,130.00.
Special initial extensions
| Passport | Regular | Express |
|---|---|---|
| BNO, Portuguese-Macau, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, PROC with AJACS, Indian with AJACSSUK | ₱1,430.00 | ₱2,430.00 |
| Brazilian, 16 and above | ₱2,890.00 | ₱3,390.00 |
The ceiling
| National type | Maximum total stay |
|---|---|
| Non-visa required | 36 months |
| Visa required | 24 months |
| AJACS and AJACSSUK visa holders | 21 days |
Three conditions must hold to extend at all: the authorized stay has not expired, passport validity exceeds 6 months, and the total stay has not reached the ceiling. Past 12 months of overstaying the process becomes Highly Technical and needs the Commissioner’s approval.
