To Whom It May Concern,
My name is L. Shagilan, a Sri Lankan citizen currently working in the Maldives. I recently traveled to the Philippines from April to May 2025 on a tourist visa, during which time I married a Filipino citizen. I have since returned to the Maldives to continue my employment.
I would like to kindly inquire about the appropriate visa options available for me to apply for through the Philippine Consulate in the Maldives, in order to visit and stay with my spouse and family in the Philippines. Specifically:
What type of visa should I apply for?
* a Non-Immigrant Visa
* a Temporary Visitor’s Visa
* a Family Reunion Visa with a Filipino citizen
Or is there another visa category that would be more suitable for my situation?
Once I obtain the appropriate visa, will I be permitted to travel in and out of the Philippines freely (e.g., for work or other personal matters) without any issues?
Can the visa be extended before its expiry? If so, for how long (in months or years) can it be extended through the Philippine Consulate in the Maldives?
Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on the procedure and requirements for inviting or bringing my wife to the Maldives for a short visit in December 2025. Kindly advise what documents or approvals may be required on both sides.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your kind response and support regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
L. Shagilan
