The Angeles City One-Year Tourist Visa

I stayed in Angeles for 1 full year a couple of years ago and am proud to say I am almost back to normal - Mate you will be pumpin' uglies till ya eyes pop, being there so long and getting in to the local groove - The best thing about staying there longer is that you will meet so much beaver on the side you will go mad and will have to beat it off with a stick' - Soon you will even start to hit the bars in your shorts with no underwear so you can hang out with the "Big Guns" and look as cool as all the rest of the crowd. 

Just rock up to the Phil with no visa and get your standard 3 week stamp in your passport - Then in Angeles or Manila just go to the Swagman Hotel and tell them your plans they will keep your passport with them for 1 year and apply for extensions every 2 months or so - It sure takes the hassle out of everything like dealing with the wrong people and standing in queues all day long to extend, meanwhile you're still in Angeles without a care in the world "Muff Diving" and showing all the girls your "O" face. 

Just keep in touch with the Swagman by phone and tell them to extend again before it runs out - I did it for a full year without any problems - too easy - their whole service above the visa fees was only around 2,500 pesos if I remember right - it might be a little higher now but check it out when ya get over red rover. 

EDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT EXIT CLEARANCE: You pay for your exit clearance at the time you get the first 59-day extension. You will need that official receipt or you will have to pay again. You can contact a local travel agent for more information. Besides Swagman, there's Mr. Ticket at Sunset Garden Inn, One-Stop Travel on Friendship, and Angeles International Travel across from the Phoenix Hotel.
