Went in yesterday..handed in necessary papers ,,out in 10 min,back today to pick-up passport and change..easy.!!

 

I was also in and out in 10 minutes submitting the paperwork and passport. Funny part was when I went back the next day to pick up the receipt and passport, they gave me the receipt and told me I had to go and make them a copy of my receipt. I don't recall having to do that last year. Just another small pain in the butt and example of a poor system.

 

hey stevehigg...
how long did you have to wait for your NEW ACR card after you turned in your 13A application?

thanks...

So Amid all this can I ask, has anyone here done their First Reporting on a Probationary 13a with their ACR card to hand? If so what was required.

rbrown...
thanks for your informative post but i'm still in the dust and have a question for JP.

jack...
BOI Manila just posted a new agenda folder (19 january 2016) and i'm on it so my 13A application has been approved!!!

now... since it looks like i'm following in your footsteps, here's a couple of questions:
do you have your NEW ACR card, the one you applied for when you turned in your 13A application form? how long did you have to wait for your NEW ACR card after you turned in your 13A applcation?


how long did it take to get the online confirmation number that rbrown referred you to?

thanks in advance fellas...

 

I did mine while in Cebu over at J Square mall first weekend of 2016. Took about 15 min to do it all once it was my turn. Didn't need any photo copies of anything and didn't have to come back to get passport etc. Just paid the 310 after starting on one side-going over to the other side, then back to the first side to pay. (They have two offices there that are across the aisle from each other)

The mall itself doesn't open as early as the BI so you'll have to walk around the right side and go back a ways to enter via the side door.
