Philippines Overstay Fine Calculator

PHP 500 for each month or part of a month you stay past your authorised date, plus a PHP 10 legal research fee. The 2025 Citizen's Charter also lists a PHP 500 motion for reconsideration fee for overstay cases. On top of the fine you pay the normal extension fees for the period you overstayed.

Yes. The fine is charged per month or fraction of a month, so one day over costs the same as a full month, and the first day past a full calendar month starts a second one.

From six to twelve months, the case needs a recommendation from the BI's Chief of the Immigration Regulation Division and the Commissioner's approval, and the fees depend on how long you stayed. Beyond twelve months the case is escalated and, according to a law firm's commentary, can lead to deportation, blacklisting and an order to leave.

There is no published number. The BI decides case by case, and its press releases show overstayers being deported and blacklisted. A blacklisted person cannot come back until the BI lifts the listing, so settle an overstay as early as you can.

Short overstays are often settled before departure, but long overstays usually have to be cleared at a BI office first, and anyone who stayed 6 months or more also needs an exit clearance (ECC). Go to a BI office before your flight rather than risk missing it.
