    Hello

    I just saw a video where the BoI Field Office in Bacolod is giving 6 month extentions (for Php 7030). Since the Dmgt office is also a Field Office (as per the BoI web site) do they also offer the 6 month extension?
    The 6 month extension just seems much more logical to me.

    All relevant information welcome

    Dave

    Last time I spoke to the ACR officer, Peter Bueno he was saying that not in the Foreseeable Future but we all know how things can Change Quickly.

    Thanks for the update Jack. Another example of the independence of individual BoI offices :smile:

    For some reason this bi office is always the last to change,look at the state of the place for starters,papers lying everywhere,seats which are falling to bits,way too small for the amount of foreigners here!
    A lot of bi offices are in malls now with new modern systems and aircon.
    It does make you wonder why this place is still in the dark ages?

    My Pleasure, also we should remember that Bacolod is now Considered an International Airport and thus the Status of that Immigration Office may have changed to accommodate this. Their (BI)Website is very slow at being Upgraded. :thumbsup:
