Netizen submission: My friend returned from the Philippines after half a month, and then entered the Philippines again. He was downgraded by IGL, cleared by ECC and went straight back, and then applied for a visa to the Philippines.
To apply for a tourist visa to the Philippines domestically, you need a bank deposit certificate and a record of social security payments for 6 months.
He went back last month, stayed for less than a month, and then came again. Now the external agencies are frightening, saying something about needing MR and OTL, and needing to clear some POGO records, and they said they would mark this POGO record, but so far I haven't seen any downgrade in the visas among people around me.
According to the agency, wouldn't it be impossible for tens of thousands of people to come to the Philippines? It shouldn't be so extreme, right? And they didn't specify whether it's marked for Chinese or foreigners. Many foreigners around me also return to their countries and then come back to the Philippines without any problems.
PS: So, does the downgrade and exit just a formality? Does it not affect re-entry to the Philippines? Do any of your friends have a smooth return?
