Why we built ClearStayPH

Around 156 nationalities can enter the Philippines visa-free, and extensions can stretch that stay to two or three years without ever leaving. Few places are this welcoming to guests who want to stay a while. But Philippine immigration rules change often, and the Bureau of Immigration's own guidance is spread across circulars, counter notices, and word of mouth. We built ClearStayPH so anyone extending their stay can get a straight answer, computed from the actual published rules and not pieced together from various sources or someone else's experience from two years ago.

Our goal isn't to replace immigration lawyers or the Bureau of Immigration. It's to remove the guesswork before you get there: what step you're at, what's due, what it costs, and what to bring, kept current as the rules change, not frozen at whenever an article was written.

We've seen the frustration up close: friends caught off guard by a deadline, strangers stuck at BI offices without the right documents. None of it needed to happen. Our hope for ClearStayPH is simple: that staying in the Philippines feels smooth and easy enough to actually enjoy, instead of something you dread.

Common questions

Is this official, or legal advice?

No, it's not legal advice or an official Bureau of Immigration determination. What it is: our system pulls together BI's rules, fees, and office-specific notices, otherwise scattered across circulars, counter notices, and word of mouth, into one place, so you get a straight answer instead of piecing it together yourself. For anything with real stakes, confirm directly with BI or a licensed immigration professional.

How current is the information?

We built ClearStayPH to track BI's published rules and notices directly, aggregated from BI's own official sources rather than summarized articles or outdated forum threads, so the answer you get reflects what's actually in effect. Rules do change; if something looks off, tell us and we'll go verify it.

Do I need an account, or is this free?

The Rundown (your step, deadline, cost, and checklist) is completely free with no signup. Digital Concierge is the optional paid layer if you want ongoing tracking and reminders.

What if I've already overstayed?

Tell us your entry date and we'll flag it immediately, with an estimated fine and what to do next, instead of leaving you to figure out whether you're even in trouble.
