My limited experience with Philippines bureaucracy suggests that the last option (maybe a couple of days in Hong Kong or Macau) might be the easiest, and maybe even the cheapest, option.

(Edit - oops - just seen in the other thread that you will be working, so I guess you'll be getting a visa anyway.)

Thanks for reading so closely! We will be doing the visa thing...it's an organized clinical elective, and the Dr. taking us has been many times before. I think I was going to try to stay in the Philippines...
