Visa Question Can You Renew 13A in Cebu

Do I have to go back to Manila to renew my 5 year permanent residence visa or can this be done in Cebu?

 

One of the requirements is a copy of the visa implications stamp in your passport. I had to get a photocopy of my expired passport Bio page and the stamp from when my 13a was originally issued. Fortunately I had my expired passport with me.
I thought the "transfer stamp" in my new passport would have been sufficient. IT WAS NOT.

 

Waiting for that and having a yearly mandatory holiday for the balik bayan privilege.... until i can get the 13A here.... guess that will be in December... 202x??

 

The clothest place is CEBU City!
And dont forget all the documents you have, like the receipts of the annual fees of the last years.
If you need some copies , its very easy to get them in that mall, where the Immigration is located!

 

I renewed my ACR I card (13 a Visa) last week. I had all my annual report receipts from the previous five years.

They didn't want the receipts.

 

Sad but true.
I would have offered him 888 pesos for snacks if I'd been on my game when I had to deal with him.
Cell 888 will get a text from me once I have my ACR-I in hand.

 

So like always here: You will make a lot of different experiences!
But for me: If I have to go to CEBU CITY for that I'd rather take some more papers with me than going back without what I wanted!
