For a stay exceeding 30 days does a US citizen require a visa in advance of arriving at the Philippines?

Accepted answer
Can I just purchase my ticket for more than 30 days then get my tourist visa when I arrive in the Philippines?
I assume you know that you cannot "get a tourist visa" for Philippines when you are IN Philippines already; you can only extend your current stay. So I assume you are in essence asking "can I arrive to Philippines with a return ticket 2-3 months ahead, and manage to spend those 2-3 months in Philippines without leaving the country".
The answer is yes. The way it works is the following:
- You arrive to Philippines, and get a 30 day permitted stay at the immigration. Traveling on US passport I have never been asked for a return ticket ever in Philippines, or anything else.
- During those 30 days you apply for an extension of stay for 29 more days. I've done that, a simple and straightforward process (fill up a form, pay money, show up or send someone there with your passport, and get an extension). This gives you up to 59 days.
- After that you apply for another extension using what seem to be the same process, and this way you can apply for extension up to 36 months in 1/2/6 month incrementals. I have NOT been through this process myself, and don't know if you can apply for a longer extension right away when your 30 day stay is expiring (7 days before), or you can apply for three months right away; you'd have to check with the Immigration, or maybe someone else could chip in.
When you go to immigration, wear long pants, not shorts.
