The One Stop Shop (OSS) is located in the government office area on the 3rd floor of NAIA Terminal 3. It's open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can get a 29-day extension right after you arrive.
Fuck... I thought you were digging up the body of the dog I used to have. Damn it. Thank god.
Everything is so slow. It feels like people are competing to see who can be slower. It shouldn't take 5 minutes per person at the cashier, but it's only like this in the Philippines. Other Asian countries aren't this slow. Truly, I don't mind if you scroll TikTok, chat, or play games while working. I just want to pay for my drink, leave, and never be bothered again, but Filipinos seem to enjoy dragging out that moment, and it's painful for both of us.
Please stay calm. The process is simple. It's great that you're looking after your child as a dad. First, the State Department has to recognize your child's U.S. citizenship. After that comes the SSN. Step 1: Book a CRBA appointment in Cebu. Step 2: Download and print the DS-11, then apply for your child's passport. Follow the instructions. Manila has a photo booth, but Cebu doesn't. Step 3: Bring cash to cover the LBC delivery fee for the CRBA and passport. The CRBA and passport are handled in a single visit. So you'll need to pay LBC at the back of the 2nd floor. The CRBA documents will be delivered in 4 to 6 weeks. The driver will probably try to trick you into paying again, so show him the receipt and say you've already paid. The child's passport arrives 6 to 8 weeks later. The driver may try to get you to pay again, so show him the receipt. Once that's done, you're ready to apply for the SSN, which can be handled by mail. Ask about the SSN in a new post. I have some tips to share.
I have doubts about the inspector's qualifications
Not having GCash is a good excuse when people ask you to send them money.
Send an email to the FBU. You'll get a reply the next day!

Aussies would have loved this.
My fiancée talks non-stop to me, and I don't mind it. I'd need more context before drawing a conclusion here... Is communicating in English so hard for her that it gives you a nosebleed? Does she show affection in other ways even if she doesn't say it? Is she better at speaking English with other people? I think I'd just say what I feel directly. Still, if there's no effort to change things, that's a big red flag for the future. I couldn't keep a relationship like that going. That's just a roommate who sleeps with you once in a while.
I'm a Filipino woman who has lived in the US for 15 years. 1.) Pollution (noise, air, etc.) 2.) Hard to find good beef 3.) Terrible traffic and people ignoring traffic rules 4.) Inconsiderate neighbors (you can avoid this if you buy a large lot so it doesn't affect your daily life. Our neighbors keep 6 to 10 dogs, and it's noisy and smells. They blast music at 4 a.m. and throw trash anywhere. I just didn't want to deal with that kind of behavior, yet they call me picky.) 5.) Slow legal system 6.) Paperwork like buying land, paying taxes, and renewing vehicle registration takes all day. Corruption is basically the national sport at these government offices. 7.) Poor infrastructure 8.) Electricity rates are more expensive than in the US 9.) Hard to find reliable workers who actually know and follow safety and quality standards 10.) Everything is slow
What the fuck is that creature making air raid siren sounds lmao what is this
If you can't find a remote job on your own, you're not qualified to work remotely.
I married a Filipino woman and they give a 6-month extension once you're over 60. I've gone more than 10 times. Normally tourists only get up to 2 months.
Isn't that young Lee Mack?
You can't hold a 13A visa if you're not living together. Yes, if you don't fix your visa status first, you'll run into problems when you leave the country. You need to switch to a tourist visa and get a tourist ACR card. If what you're saying is true, you're currently overstaying illegally. Good luck, but you brought this on yourself.
I understand your frustration. It's really important that your wife and the agent speak only in Tagalog. And when you get home, your wife is going to be furious that you weren't part of the conversation. Good luck... we've all been through that pain....
This guy is a Rockhopper penguin. So he's trying to live up to his name.
It's 100% legally a one-way street, and I have no illusions about that. Every foreigner living in the Philippines is essentially making a Faustian bargain. They get enormous purchasing power, often romance, and a tropical postcard life, while the country gets our capital inflow. We know we can never be legally equal. I think the arrangement works, but I don't see myself living here for the rest of my life.
