Which situation are you in?

01

I have already overstayed

Up to 6 months is settled at the counter; 6 months and 1 day to 12 months needs approval from the Chief of the IRD plus a notarized explanation; longer cases go up another level with a motion for reconsideration. The higher the level, the more it pays to know the fines and papers before you walk in.

02

My visa is expiring and I want to stay

After 59 days you extend 1 or 2 months at a time and must hold an ACR I-Card; visa-required nationals have a total-stay ceiling that triggers a motion for reconsideration. We check how far you are from that ceiling before deciding how many extensions make sense.

03

I want to stay long-term

A 9G needs an employer and an AEP first; a 13A needs a Filipino spouse plus proof of residence and finances; SRRV deposit tiers depend on age and pension. The three paths differ a lot in time and cost, so choose the path before spending.

How fees work

Fees differ by immigration office

The same item can cost differently at the main office, regional offices and the express lane, and schedules change with announcements. Any price list online is a reference, never a basis.

A breakdown for your case

Overstay length, visa type, ACR I-Card status and express lane all change the total. After the assessment we give you a breakdown computed for your situation.

Government fees and service fee, separately

Government fees are paid at the Bureau counter under your name; our service fee is listed separately on the quote before you sign.

This page lists no amounts, to avoid misleading anyone. Send your situation to our team and you get a case-specific breakdown after the assessment.

What a consultation clears up

I overstayed, what now?

We assess how the fines and back fees are built up, which approval level your case reaches, blacklist risk, and whether an ECC is needed before you leave.

Can a tourist visa become a work visa?

A 9G needs an employer and an AEP first. We check whether your employer, role and time in the country meet the conditions.

13A marriage visa eligibility

Married to a Filipino citizen? We verify the marriage record, proof of residence and financial proof before setting a timeline.

SRRV retirement residency

Deposit tiers depend on age and pension. We work out which tier fits you and how much to prepare.

Downgrading and the ECC

Work visa ending, resignation, or a downgrade: whether you need an ECC, when, and which office, explained once.

Comparing long-stay options

Tourist extensions, 9G, 13A, SRRV and SIRV compared by cost, restrictions and fit, ranked for you.

Why assess first instead of going straight to the Bureau

One trip, not two

The counter processes; it does not explain. One missing paper or one wrong fee tier means another trip and another queue.

Know the total first

Back fees, fines, charges, express lane. The longer the overstay, the higher the approval level. We total it before you decide.

Pick the right path

The same person may have two or three options (extend, convert, exit and re-enter) with different cost and risk. The wrong one costs months.

What we do not do

  • ✕No fake documents, no altered dates, no guaranteed approvals. The Bureau decides, and we cannot promise its decision.
  • ✕No collecting government fees on your behalf. They are paid at the Bureau counter under your name.
  • ✕No pressure. After the assessment, whether and how to continue is your call.

Frequently asked questions

Are you the Bureau of Immigration?＋

No. YIXING TRAVEL CONSULTANCY INC. (SEC Reg. No. CS202009551) is a private consultancy in Makati with no affiliation to the Philippine Bureau of Immigration. All visa decisions are made by the Bureau, and government fees follow its official schedule.

Is the consultation paid?＋

The first assessment is free. A written plan or in-depth consultation is quoted first and starts only after you confirm.

My visa expired a long time ago. Can I still ask?＋

Yes. The longer the overstay, the more important it is to assess before acting rather than walking into the Bureau unprepared.

Chinese, English and Filipino.

Can I consult from outside Manila?＋

Yes. We assess remotely via WeChat, WhatsApp or Telegram, and tell you in advance if any step requires your personal appearance.
