Bug Out Bag Essentials in a Foreign Country
Mine is the matte brown the GEAR S I've bought a top box for it already a 45 liters to place my helmet inside etc. Planning to attach MDL (mini driving lights) for brighter headlights. Initially I was aiming for a Honda Beat V3 but discovered it has RUST issues on its FRAMES & battery location is under the footboard which is terrible.
Looks like something you would get in Compton or hellos
It's all about location
Filipinos rent houses like that for about 1000p 20usd
House need mosquitoes and bugs net outside of windows.
what is an lto portal ? do you mean online?
PH is heaven on earth for rich Filipinos only & not for foreigners to settle foreigners in PH can't own properties full business ownership & have very limited rights foreigners can be naturalized PH citizens if born & raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not the case of newcomers
Are you sure its not hunted lol
Crime must be really bad if you need all those bars and heavy doors... Scary
the most am renting this dilapidated shack for is 2500 pesos
Is that background Bill from that restaurant from Cauayan Negros Occidental ?
I would like to live here for good in the Philippines. I’m retired USA Army . My wife and I are still building our house here in Bacolod
I got a 1 year visa and I’ve been here since April 4 of this year . And I’ve heard here and there that I need to exit the country like buying a ticket to the next Asian country . My wife being a Filipino that we have been married for 3 years now.
Whats the official website for the LTO ?
Portal.lto.gov.ph
I see it can be done online now If I want to stay six months, after my first 30 days, can I skip right to a two month or six extension if I get the ACR card right away, or is it mandatory that I do the first extension of 29 days, THEN I can do the two/six month extension?
You have to do the given 30 days upon arrival and the 29 day extension, then you get your arc card in the 2 extension after the 59 days.
That's not living $800 a month will provide a boring existence
It really depends on your attitude and what you are willing to sacrifice and what you are not willing to give up. I did mention that 800 was the bare minimum for a monthly budget.
Why are you asking us.
Asking?
what airlines do you use, the price you mentioned seems like a good price
I really use any airline that is cheaper, do the usual, expedia, cheapo air, skiplagged, I will fly and connect anywhere as long as its not China. Used China airlines, and had to connect in Beijing, never again.
Been here 2.5 years. Got EEC on spot at local CDO BI. No issues.
No issues, there really shouldn't be any.
Thanks for the upload. Have a safe trip and catch you back in The Philippines next time.
Thank you, I will
If you are not on a pension and have not served in the military, it costs around $20,000 USD, not a good deal.
Exactly it's a rip off. Anyone who will sacrifice that with better countries are delusional. I'm a marine corps veteran and still don't see it as a option.
Actually I think if you can prove an income of 800 or more then its only 10K which is still a big amount.
EXCELLENT INFORMATION. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD INFORMANT. GOOD ON YOU!
I appreciate that!
Unless there has been a recent change, the ECC-A that is required for those on tourist visas to leave the country can only be obtained at your local BI office. Those on certain permanent visas that need to obtain an ECC-B to leave the country , can be acquired online or at the airport .
Above I said that the ECC-A can be obtained at your local BI office, I meant to say at certain BI offices. Not all BI office will issue this type of certificate.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info i have to leave in February for my visa run.
You should have no problem.
Don,t believe the blogs ask immigration directly
What can I tell you, I went through it.
When I first came to the Philippines 14 years ago on a tourist visa every gringo I met had a scene to circumvent the Immigration laws here. I almost got sucked into that neverending cycle. Instead, I did my homework and researched a permanent resident visa. I discovered the PRA Visa program, applied for it, received it, and have never looked back since. It's the best thing I've done here...besides marry my wife.
I would agree, I would never try to circumvent the immigration laws, if they allow you to stay for three years then stay for three years, if they tell its time to go, then go.
Glad I have my 13A.
You should of have all the expats lined up during covid, many who vowed never to get married, got married because they fear having to go back to their home country.
What if you extend thru an agency? Is there an interview also? What if you get your ICC thru an agency? What if you are not married but are living together? Are they going to be pushing you to get married?
I would never go through an agency, the process is so simple plus I think its good that you represent yourself. No they are not going to push you to marry, might tell you about the SRRV.
@@imexpatbill I respect your preferences but my preference is to always use a third party. More reliable as they have established contacts. Some like it hot, some like it cold.
Thanks for your insights and info.
My pleasure! See ya soon.
Thank you, finally some usefull info , so much panic at the moment on RUclips creating click bait
Thanks for the encouraging comment and thanks for viewing.
Why is it so hard to get into Philippians yet anybody can go to the United States by just crossing the border and get paid to stay there??
That is something I personally have been upsetting to me, why must I jump through hoops trying to get a visa for a Filipinia somebody who I have known for over 10 years yet others are able to stay and go unchecked.
Thanks sleepy Joe
You mean go the US illegally? You are taking chances. Some 2.3 million illegals were apprehended in 2022 alone. Maybe 30%-40% get in. The rest are caught. And it's no fun living in the country illegally. And fat chance they could ever get a tourist visa to visit the US. Hey, people enter the PH illegally by sea also. Chinese do, Indians do, Indonesians,etc. The PH has no land borders with any country as the US does. So it's not easy to enter. But many are also regularly apprehended. We get tourist visas, retiree visas etc. Yes, we are way more welcome than Filipinos are in the US as tourists.
hi, do u need the physical acr card for ecc? I do have photo copies of it though...
They did ask for it, but all that information is on file in their system. I am sure for a small fee they will issue a replacement card.
Thanks for sharing your actual experience Bill. There are so many videos about this coming out lately. Lots of the videos have terrifying clickbait titles and some of the videos just seem to be paraphrasing what some other video said. That's a handy cheat sheet they gave you!
I guess it's kind of like going across the border of Canada and the USA, most will get a question or two while others might get more questions.
Good info ! Today is the 1st time I heard it's difficult to get your money back if you go for one of those SRRV's now I know why some are reluctant to go for that and it's a valid reason. Thanks for the video Expat Bill and take care :) !
I converted my Srrv deposit to a lease - took 2 months
Yes, I have heard that you can use your deposit for property valued over a certain amount.
Most guys I know with a SRRV never leave...myself included.
@@rayintoledocebuphilippines5517 that's good to know it can be done, thanks for the info!
i am curious the name of the city you live ? i just ran into this video and curious to learn more. thank you very much for your time.
Bacolod City in the Negros Occidental province. Welcome.
I find "interview" a big word for the simple question of the assessing immigration officer 'if I have family in the Philippines'. With my three lines explanation of my situation it was all good. Actually, when I returned from such visa run before, the immigration officer at the airport asked the same question.
Same here, seemed a simple matter, but the dude after me was in the cubical for about 10 minutes. I think his ARC address didn't line up with his current address or something of that nature. And having been here for many years I know there will a few expats who will come in with attitude.
Another interesting video sharing about "Changes in Obtaining a Philippine Tourist Visa Extension and ECC". Have a safe trip back home Bill... Full support already. Good luck & Best regards po/Ned 👍🎉👍
Thanks looking forward to visiting relativies and voting, then "out the door."

Since getting the scooter, has it gotten you any attention and perhaps some hot fur?
Naww, there are thousands of scooters, just another in the crowd.lol
That's primitive man, you get what you pay for i guess
I think the look of the outside puts a lot of people off.
I just got my 2 month extension today in Dumaguette, I've been here for 1 year and 10 months. Something seems to be happening with the BI, usually it's a breeze, pay your money, come back in 3 hours and pick up your passport with new extension. Today though it was the usual question, What visa is this for? Tourist for pleasure ma'am. Do you have a wife? No ma'am. Well you've been here for almost 2years, how much travelling around are you still doing? A bit but I live near a beach so no need to travel ma'am. Well Manila has told us you must look at a permanent residence option if you plan on staying longer such as a 13a if you can get married or a SSRV . Well ma'am I'm single so 13a isn't an option and I don't have the money for an SSRV. I thought ma'am that I could extend up to 3 years then leave for a day, come back and start again. We're not sure now Sir, Manila wants more foreigners that plan on staying to be permanent residents. Ok ma'am does that mean I'll have to leave and spend all my money in Thailand? So can I still get future extensions ma'am? It's up to Manila to decide, we'll wait and see. Ok ma'am goodbye. 😢😅?????? So somethins goin down at the BI methinks
I went through that yesterday too, it seems if you stay over a year, then you have this interview where they ask those questions. If they lowered the amount of deposit required for non-military people (currently 10K USD) then I think more of us would get SSRV's. I mean very few foreigners ever get that deposit back.
An airline ticket for $1200.00 is it direct or has multiple stops
Gotta stop in Taipei. I saw one dude mention that starting in October, PAL flies direct from Manila to Seattle and he got a round trip for 800 USD.
Bill... I drove uber for 8 years. I was able to save lots of cash and retired at 55. Work nights if possible. You getting your social security now. Are you still have the pizza restaurant?
Currently no, but Remy is thinking about starting it back up again.

Are you rich?
No not all but I am happy with what I got.
Not me I married my smoking hot model Filipina. I stay here forever. No leaving now
Another sugar daddy.
I still have connections back home, it's time for visit.
Is the wife going with you?
No, maybe next time.
Hay bro yeah you do have to do the card I just did it, good luck
You are right, that's what people are telling me.
Great, will be there one day, Phil from a broken UK 🇬🇧
The sooner you get here, the better.
