Visa extension in Cebu city
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 your application in after noon 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.
March 2009 Tourist visa extension update – Tourist visas can now be extended for up to 16 months – the rules are constantly changing. Have a look at the Philippine immigration link for official information.

good noon this is rodelyn chavez,im just asking if youre office is open on saturday?
best reagrds.
Hello rodelyn,
More than likely the Cebu immigration office is just open on weekdays.
Try to arrive first thing in the morning because the window usually does not accept new business after noon.
good luck

Previously when extending my visa I have had a Filippino friend to fill in the sponsor section of the application form. This time I will be alone. Who do I get to complete the sponsor section?
Hello Frank – I am not sure because I have never used a sponsor on any of my visa extension applications.
