More stuff from the bi

There is a 200p penalty per month late, so, technically you should be allowed to do it later at a penalty fee. But, I also heard people who claim they lost their residenceship after being late. Half of immigration officers at BoI in Cebu at least hate foreigners. Talk about choosing the wrong job.

 

Yes Pat i do my annual reports, this coming jan is my 5th i shall then do my icard 5 year renewal as long as i dont get buggered with this new thing,, sept to dec 15 is a bit swift for them, maybe they want the pesos as a lot of people wont know about this new rule

 

I just renewed my 5 year permanent visa I-Card a couple of weeks ago. The info they capture for that Alien Registration Program is already captured in the visa renewal program so no need for the redundancy. BI figured that out for once.
If you have changed your address or marital status during the 5 year visa period and did not notify BI, you are subject to stiff penalties.

 

thanks for the info pat
well i have changed my address, maybe rather then get a stiff penalty i should just wait until i have new card and then inform them?
could you please advise the process for renewal? i understand i need 5 receipts from yearly reporting, well my card runs out on the 7th of jan 2015 and my 5th recepit will be jan 2015 so cutting very close!

i not sure where i can find out their opening dates for immigration in Jan?

any info much appreciated and did you go to manila to do the renewal? how long it take mate?
cheers!

 

Renewing your ACR card seems like an easy procedure when you read the BI requirements. 1- Present old ACR card, 2- Photocopy a few passport pages, 3- Fill out the renewal form. Its when you go to Manila and spend money for flights, hotels, taxi etc and find out there are other requirements you couldnt have know about. For example as I found out. If you have changed your address you need 1- Affidavid of change of address 2- Barangay letter from Captain that confirms your address. Seems its not enough to agree and abide to have told the truth just on the APPLICATION FORM. No, thats not enough. If you are still with your original wife they also now want a photocopy of your wifes ID with her photo on it. So in my case I couldnt provide that so back to Dumaguete to get these as well.

Why dont they just put a tracking dog collar on me, that way they can know where I am always. I suppose I would still have to get a letter from the Barangay captain to prove the collar is still on my neck and nobody elses me and an affidavid that says the body belongs to me.

I HOPE THAT d*mn BI OFFICE IN ROBINSON HURRIES UP AND OPENS. So tired of going to Cebu or Manila for everything.

 

and your message was?
