    Went to Manila Bi to renew my permanent visa. I was fined PHP 16,400 plus 600 in affidavit fees. My situation is probably unique to most::
    I have 5 year permanent quota visa from the U.S.
    I was single and living in Makati when I got it.
    I moved to Dumaguete shortly after I got it. I didn't know I had to report the move to BI; hence PHP 8400 penalty
    I got married and did not know I had to report that to BI; hence, another PHP 8400 fine
    Nice surprises. Plus air and 2 nights hotel. There goes a Christmas vacation.
    More fun in the Philippines

    Normally this would not happen until the second Extension but we are in the realms of the new ARP, this comes into effect in October this year, they are already some 18 months behind in issuing the ACR cards so I think they are just getting as many as they can done ASAP.
    Dustin is right in That they (BOI) Just don't know the rules themselves, In fact I think WE know more than they do.
    Just as a Side on this, we are now coming into the 8th month before the ARP amnesty is over so it is in all our Interest to get the ARP application done . If it is submitted during a Current ACR time it is Free, if it is done after one runs out it will cost you another $50 to do SO my Friends Think On. :eek:

    You should be able to report here in Duma. I can, I have a 13a permanent, and am within the 5 year period, no problem. Stuff having to go to Cebu if you don't really have to, unless you like it there :D. Try it in Duma first.:cool:

    Yes sir, REPORT! If you are here over 6 months and you have extended regularly as per Law, you will have an ACI card. Each year Jan to March you are required to Report to the BOI that you are still here. If you are a 13a Holder after the Yearly reporting, you need to Renew and Report that you are still here every 5 years, to renew your card. PatO is a Quota visa Holder and has just reported for his 5 years. Unfortuntaly he neglected to tell BOI a couple of things and got Fined. as a newbe, please keep your eyes peeled for things that we need to do. I see you are not a newcomer to the Forum and now wonder, how you did not know of these things.

    Have a good day and Please, don't be a Stranger anymore.[​IMG]
