On the surface it sounds like you got ripped off. Not just on the surface, in the middle, and high in the air it sounds like that also. Maybe he got his prices backwards, why would anyone 'plan on' paying p20k for 2 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysRt Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 OK, went to BI in Duma today (Tuesday). 6 month visa + ACR card = p10,500 will be ready MONDAY, everyone else I heard was being told Monday also. I guess they got the word to delay processing times here now also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its important to state that this is your first 6 month Visa after 59 days in country. I say that because the first renewal after 59 days has always been a bit more than a standard renewal. I am hoping that my second 6 month Visa (come August) will be closer to 6K pesos as no ACR card needed and it will be a second renewal. I will remember to keep all informed but if anyone else is getting that second 6 month visa without the ACR card, no express fees, and cheaper fees, then I would want to hear about it. Reason is, if they screw us over too bad then I'll take a trip to Cebu and do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She probably did say "Come back Monday for you Passport" which is what I care about the most. I will ask her Monday about the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discount discount surprise! Turns out the total was not p10,500 for 6 months + new ACR card + ECC, it was p9,638. Here is the breakdown... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
