With regard to the three-year uninterrupted tourist residence ruling and the need to leave the country when it expires can any members advise what options, if any, are there for a tourist visa extension without leaving given that if you do ( or can ) leave you cannot return.
Good friend of mine has just left here and returned to UK after being here on 3 years of tourist visa. There was no way that BI would allow him a further extension.
Hi David - thanks for the message - I think I recollect you being from Davao ( under correction ) - was your mate living and dealing with the BI here ?
