Bi Tightens Rules On Application For Student Visas Of Foreigners

[Mr Lee]

David said the new rule was imposed after reports reached him that unscrupulous travel agents have been conniving with foreigners in submitting fake or fraudulent transcript of records/school records for the student visa and SSP applications. “We have to make sure that only foreigners actually studying in the Philippines are given these visas. This anomaly should be stopped because these fake foreign students are blatantly violating our laws,” the BI chief said. David added he already instructed lawyers Ma. Antonette Bucasas-Mangrobang, BI acting intelligence chief, and Anna Katrina Sy-Gil, BI student desk head, to investigate and identify the fake alien students so their visas can be canceled and they are arrested and deported.
