Hi Dave, I'm sorry, we know nothing about this at all. We just have standard VOA visas. We have to get them renewed every 2 months (no more 6-month extensions) but we can stay up to 3 years. Don't know how long the boat can stay, or what is required to extend that. Sorry.

Hi Jon, I hope all is well with you n yours! Do you know if there has been a definitive decision as to whether 13a and SSRV visa holders in the Philippines are required to pay import tax on their foreign-flagged yachts?
Thank You,
Dave

Hi Dave, No problem. We don't know the Davao area that well, but we've sailed in & out of HOV Marina on Samal Island, & anchored at a few places in the bay.

Cheers, Jon s/v Ocelot

Hi Jon, I am in the process of retiring. Selling the house and moving up to a bigger boat as a liveaboard headed to SE Asia. My wife is from Davao. I am trying to develop a group of friends familiar with the cruising area. Lv the sweet lines of your cat, very sporty!! I am sticking with a mono for variou$$ reasons.
