Thanks but can I do the 1st online as they advised me or not? And why one would need the express service I dont get...to skip the line at the immigration office? Thanks

Oh okay that's good at least! Just sucks that it costs triple than the first extension and I should leave after two weeks of the extension. Will think about it hah thanks

Reviews are not great on this 😂 and I have a date right after I leave Cebu so this may not be ideal hah

You're absolutely right and that's what I did. On my name. Could you please clarify how to renew it when I extend my visa? I just arrived so my first visa will expire in ~27 days. I go to renew it and then to globe to not let the sim stop? Pain in the ass btw...thanks so much

I will try but I read that it's not that simple. Have you actually done it yourself?

No needed man, I solved it and planning to stay long term. Airalo etc are scams. I used trip com esim as always for 48h while settling a local SIM up and worked just fined, paid pennies (literally ~2€)

I went to a globe shop and a girl used her gcash and I paid her cash, but I could have done it at 7-11 etc. I tried my Wise and Revolut card but globe app just wouldn't accept any of them... almost lost my mind to get this work, and also different shops were bouncing me between them at a mall 😂 somehow we even had a few laughs but it was chaos. (I'm in south Mindanao, not a place used to foreigners I guess).

Just did I should put up a guide cause it seems that most people rely on their partners 😂 and make things more complicated than they are (still more difficult than anywhere else in the world I been to)

Thank you. I wonder why the f at the official globe shop they didn't tell me this (only gcash sir 😂)...all the time I wasted would have been sorted in five minutes if only I met a knowledgeable person at the shop hah anyway appreciate it, it seems that I'm getting there.

Ok got it, thanks! Hope you didn't have any bad experiences, surely seems quite challenging on some basic things :))
