BoI Info Best Posts in Thread: What can the Dumaguete BoI Office do for you?

Agree. Not sure what the trouble some people have is or the reason for getting so upset....it's not like a bad attitude is going to make your life with immigration any easier. The prices are posted online and all the requirements (pictures/photocopies) can be gotten at the travel agency just next door to the immigration office. I just did my extension today and it took me around 30 minutes and P2930 for the visa and 12.50 for all the photocopies needed (already had the pictures from the last time). It could have been done in 15 minutes but I had to go back to the travel agency a second round for more photocopies because my iCard finally came in and I didn't know I needed copies of my ARP "slip" that's stapled to the back of my passport (I went in with the picture, photocopies and the exact change I thought I needed. Those extra photocopies cost me an extra 15 minutes. Next time I'll be fully prepared when they call my number.)

 

A friend of mines wife just got her first passport,had to go to Cebu for cfo seminar first,then got an appointment to go to Bacolod for the interview. Bacolod is booking only and much faster than Cebu,she was only in there 30 mins.
Only trouble was the bus ride.

 

Dumaguete Immigration District Office can complete the following transactions:

• Annual Report
• Conversion to Student Visa
• Extension of Authorized Stay of Temporary Visitors
• Extension of Student Visa
• Petition for Reacquisition or Retention of Philippine Citizenship
• School Accreditation
• Special Study Permit (SSP)
• Special Work Permit (SWP)

I have attached a document that states what every BoI office in the Philippines is authorized to do.
