Dear Jescel,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Jun 24, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your request
You asked for Multiple Entries without Visa.
Response to your request
We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. French Nationals are non-restricted nationals; thus, they are allowed to stay under E.O 408 for 30 days and leave the country and return again if he chooses not to extend his Temporary Tourist Visa.
However, you may also choose to extend the Tourist Visa in any BI Offices. You may retrieve your requested information of the form and checklist of TOURIST VISA EXTENSION from the BI official website www.immigration.gov.ph or you may click the link the following:
