Queenie O. Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Hi guys, I know that it's still a little ways away, but I was wondering how the annual "Head Tax" will go in the new year Jan./Feb. Has anyone heard anything about a possible extension or postponement? No new tourists to contend with yet, but wondered if anyone had heard any BI news about it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time, no hear! I haven't heard specifically about the ACR what happens, but I think it will be the same as visa's renewal and such! As of now, you need to make an appointment for anything, less personnel availability. Also, if your older than 60, they don't really want to see you for visa, acr renewals. I was told that I would have to wait until out of quarantine. Some info is avail. to the FB BI page if you can navigate it. I was told that anything would have to wait until the quarantine ended. When that will be is anyone's guess. Mr Pres has stated everything will remain the same until Sept.30 2021, if they are lucky to get most people vaccinated by then. I would guess then you would have to get a certification letter or proof of vaccination, and required travel for visa purposes. So Sept.30th 2021 is my guess or latter even. Then it will be a trip to BI to get visa.s and acr and such brought upto current levels. BI states that you will have 30 days when the quarantine ends to pay any back due fee's to bring you current!. This could potentially cost a $1000 or more dollars to BI. Again. welcome back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in the news and I doubt if much will change. Seems the Philippines is opening up much more now so probably be sooner rather than later that tourist come back again and I think you might mean ARC for long term but might be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted October 18, 2020 Forum Support Posted October 18, 2020 When it does happen you do not have to go in person if you are a senior. You can use a limited power of attorney to designate someone to do it for you. I did that for the first time last year with no problem at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we discussing the annual report? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the OP is referring to the annual report as was I. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
