About Bill and Lorna Collings
Expertise
Feel FREE to ask us about traveling, living, relocating, retiring and investing in the Philippines. Guests from 83 countries make our place in Manila an incredible meeting place for world travelers who exchange travel stories and information. We understand both the joys and the hardships of living and traveling in the Philippines.
Experience
I arrived in the Philippines in January 1980 to travel for 2 months; I stayed 4 months before reluctantly leaving. I met my Filipina wife, Lorna. an incredible stellar, "one in a million" individual in 1983 in Seoul and we moved to the Philippines in 1986 and opened our 3BR house to world travelers on a budget. After welcoming thousands of guests from 83 nations our place has grown to 30 bedrooms but will never lose its "Home away from Home" atmosphere. Almost everyday at The Townhouse Hotel there's a party-like social scene with vibrant, almost magical energetic conversations between our guests who have the pleasure to meet each other and share their life's many experiences. Sometimes. three groups with conversations in different langauges are going on at the same time.
So we've been exposed to every kind of person from all over the world and shared their experiences.

Expert: Bill and Lorna Collings - 11/3/2009
Question
Hi Bill and Lorna. I am currently living and working in the Philippines as a missionary on a 9(g) visa. I was wondering if you have any information about the process for applying for a quota visa while living in the Philippines? Do you know if I can submit the requirements myself or if I need to have a BI accredited representative do it? Also would I submit them to a BI office or somewhere else? Thanks so much.
Answer
Yes all visas for foreigners staying here in the Philippines the BI is where you apply. You might be wiser to apply after the election 2010 as the quota visas seem to be an extra fund raiser which most people are not aware of. After speaking with a half dozen foreigners with this kind of visa status the costs vary and it seems there are periodical additional charges every few years. Good Luck!
