Mik Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) “Foreigners making the annual report should bring with them their ACR I-Cards, Certificate of Residence and official receipts of the annual report fee they paid the previous year,” Almeda added.Seems like last year all they asked for was my ACR I-Card. I'll bring my receipt just in case. Cost was P310 and took less than 10 minutes. They ask you if you've moved and scan your card. They're probably checking names against the Interpol database. .

TheMason Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Its very easy to do. As M. Morey said, its 10 minutes and 310 p.My wife is in Manila now and went to BI in Intramuros on Monday to file some paperwork unrelated to the annual report for me. She said the line was out the door and down the street, and that was just the line to get into the building. She was telling me that some Chinese guy got upset by the length of the line and the situation escalated to a physical altercation and he was removed by security. That's a perfect lesson on what NOT to do when making your annual report.You've got 60 days to report....just wait a while for the lines to go down and it will be painless.

Better to go mid week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 No you do not have to do this if you are on 59 day visas. It is only those who have residency here that have to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
