MANILA – The Bureau of Immigration reminded foreigners and their dependents with permanent resident status in the Philippines to have their passports re-stamped to avoid penalty or cancellation of their Alien Certificate of Registration I-cards or worst face deportation.
Immigration spokesperson Elaine Tan said the re-stamping scheme will also simplify the verification of the BI’s updated database and will surely help expedite their future transactions, including the processing of annual report and the renewal of their ACR I-Card.
She said applicants will have to pay P1,010 and also secure a BI clearance which also cost P1,010. The processing for the re-stamp applications may be completed within three days.
The filing period for the re-stamping started last September and will end on December 15 this year. “Such process may only be applied at the BI main office in Intramuros, Manila,” she said. (Mindanao Examiner)
