Yes. Far right side.

And generally not all that convenient.

IO in regular line just handed the card back to me with no comment. Got a normal 30-day stamp, was out in less than a minute.
Been through Clark three or four times. They turn the card over, see no endorsements, and stamp you in for 30-days. Even though the APEC meeting was last in Clark a few months ago.

For those who know CRK I was very surprised and upset that they have stopped using the beautiful million-dollar upstairs terminal gates with skyways and have reverted to the ground floor old-school waiting room. Disappointing.
Asiana and Qatar use it. Cebu Pacific does not.

The few times I've been through there it's been on an LCC, and I've never seen the upstairs gates.
On arrival, you still end-up in the same immigration area.

Air Asia and EK have left.
