For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

The route applies to tourists who are non-visa required, admitted initially for 30 days, and who request an initial 29-day extension.

Limits of the record
  • The capture does not list which nationalities are non-visa required.

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the visit purposes this route covers.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the whole visa-waiver page (who/where/what/how/fees) for permitted visit purposes; it only calls applicants 'tourists' and lists no permitted or forbidden activities.

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

Non-visa-required tourists are admitted initially for 30 days and this route concerns the initial 29-day extension. A foreign national whose stay will exceed 59 days should secure extensions of stay with the Bureau of Immigration. The official source does not state a rolling-period rule, validity or number of entries.

Limits of the record
  • The waiver page lists only a checklist, an application form and the passport; no funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance or onward-travel evidence is stated.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

The extension is requested at the BI Main Office or other authorised immigration offices: the applicant submits the completed application form and attachments with the passport to the frontline officer, and later claims the passport stamped with the requested extension of stay.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not state the circumstances in which an extension may be refused or the stay changed to another status.
