Local immigration office told me today that I now need this. It costs p2,700 and is valid for a year. First i have heard of it and havent come across it in the newspapers or in any communication from the British Embassy. Tell me this isnt a scam!
True enough, newly implemented. It is only valid for one year if you don't leave the country, it also expires when you exit, so every time you return you get to do it again! Larry

I asked one of the girls at the local BI office directly if it expires when you leave the country and she said no. She said to present it when re-entering the country along with you Passport. Have you seen something official that says differently Larry?
This was discussed before in a different thread posted above and here: http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/board/expat-section/acr-i-card-6072-2.html Quote: Originally Posted by shadow View Post Contrary to unpopular belief on this subject, I am no expert on this.

The immigration site seems to back this up...
