Visa extension in Cebu
Getting an extension on your Philippine visa can be done quickly and
efficiently at the Bureau of Immigration in Mandaue city just outside
of Cebu.
Mandaue is the port area near Mactan. All taxi drivers will know where the office is (just behind the fire station). From most places in downtown Cebu City the cab fare will be around 100 pesos.
It is important to get the paperwork turned in before 11am if you want to get your passport back before noon.
If you turn it in after 4pm you will have to return to pick up the passport the following day.
There is a photo copy machine in the lobby where you can take photocopies of your immigration stamp and passport for 2 pesos per copy. You fill out a standard visa extension form and hand it in with the photocopies.
The first 30 day extension will cost around 2000 peso the next 60 day extension will run around 3040 peso.
The whole process can take around an hour. Probably the slowest place to get visa extensions would be in Manila where it is a whole day process.
