Hello, I am visiting my family and am US citizen and coming from US.  I have my ticket for 59 days. Can I get my visitor visa at the airport when I arrive? If I don’t get one what is the fine or penalty when I leave? I have read that I can get at airport but also read I need to go to office of immigration. Travel days are August 02,2023-September 29,2023
Please help me,
Salamat po
