    Probably needs to renew his card, every 5 years need to renew,
    Took me a hour an A half in Manila to go through the process, then had to go back in 10 days to pick new one up, very cheap to do , less then 3000p for everything , an another 5 years , not bad at all as long as your stuff in order, and yes if you can take your old passport with original stamp
    For the 13a will probably save some time

    Thought this may help in renewing 13/13a permanent resident visa acr card.
    When in cebu if you ask the lawyer who works there for a letter to say pls send my new acr card to dumaguete it will save you a second trip to cebu to collect it. Cost is around p300 for the letter. When the card is ready in manila it usually takes around 3 days for it to arrive here in dumaguete.

    I used the Travel Agency next to the Dumaguete Bureau of Immigration to do my 13a/ACR Card etc, who then used their guy in Cebu to do all of the footwork on my behalf (saving me untold trips due to several changes in Office, meaning that the Forms had to be refilled and re-lodged) once all was ready for pickup, he sent it to the Travel Agency for me to pick up when it was delivered.

    I was notified by Manila that it (my ACR Card) was ready to be picked up in Cebu, but when the Agent went to pick it up, there was a mistake on the Card, so it was sent back to Manila to be issued again. Had I been the one doing this I would have wasted a Trip to Cebu, so I try to make sure I do it all using that Travel Agency.

    They (the Travel Agency) even notified me last January that my Alien Registration was due for renewal and told me what I needed to bring in. I went in there where they did all of the necessary copying for me, then I simply walked next door to the BOI to lodge the Forms using my Receipt from the year before (no need to log back online to fill in the online Forms etc) and paid the fee and walked out all in around 10 minutes. AWESOME! :thumbsup:

    Hi Mr. Pig, you mean the agency some doors behind the BOI in the same corridor? How much did it cost, the help, what they gave you with the ACR-ID? Thanks.

    Hi Davie, today I was at the BOI in Dumaguete City and they advised me to travel to Cebu in order to pick the ACR-card up there...no possibility to send it to the BOI here.

    - go to j center mall, fortuna st entrance
    - take a right after u pass the entrance guard
    - walk to the end of the walkway and take the stairs up to the 2nd floor.
    - walk about 1/2 way thru the restaurant area and u'll see a door with a BOI sign
    - enter and follow ur nose (or the foreigners : ).

    Yes it is possible as long as you have a notorised letter when you apply for the card before all the papers go to manila.
