Davao City - My 2Nd 6 Month Extension + Arp

[ducecoop]

Door to door in 1 hour and 20 minutes.

 

30 Minutes filling out all the new paper work. The ARP paperwork was not as overwelming as it looked on 1st inspection. Personal information was all I filled out. No living spouce or parents so I just put "n/a" in those areas ( I thought better then just leving blank) . No one seemed to care.

 

30+ Minutes getting prints. I have a birth defect in my hands and they could not get the machine to read my prints. I could tell the operator was getting frustrated but thank god he was patient. Who knows what the plan B would have been if it did not work. Anyway, should be 5 minutes for most people.

 

About 20 minutes collecting my money and processing.  Not bad

 

Couple of interesting events.

 

I got my last 6 month extension in May. At that time I was due for a new ACR card. Paid the fees for a new ACR card. was told to come back in 2 weeks. I never went back as I dont really need it for anything.

Now 5+ months lator it is still not in. ?????? Hmmmmmm

 

 

Also, I looked at my reciept just before typing this to see how much in fees I paid for the ARP. Saw no listing for it. So in fact I have no evidence I have regisered????? Hmmmmm

 

Your milage may verry.................

I do my renewals in Davao too (opposite V-mall). My ACR-I card was ready on my second visa renewal visit.

I did my ARP thing (same info on ACR) for an extra 1000 P. A 2 months visa plus ARP cost me 3030 P.

Check your last few receipts for extensions.  The minimum for a 2 month extension is going to be p2830, I think.  I doubt that you were charged anything for ARP, after I reread this:

See B-2.  I am having a hard time copying and pasting correctly.

They should have given you the bottom section of your ARP form back to you.  It is the certification that you registered and has your new number on it.

The last time I extended my visa and ACR card in Dumaguete it cost about 5700 peso so I would check exactly what you paid for. 6 months extension to my knowledge should be around the 8000 peso price

It depends on where you are in the cycle.  I got my 6 month extension just after a 2 month extension where I paid the annual ACR fees, so it was only p7350.  The next was p7330.  The next one, if I get it, will be higher as it will include the annual ACR fees.

It seems to me that they must knock something off of the price when you do it for 6 months. That is the only explanation I can think of in the price difference. I do mine every 2 months ( then I can see friends on Negros) and was multiplying it by 3.

Yes, you save a bit.  My normal 2 month is 2830, which would be 8490.  You can see my individual charges here if you are interested it seeing where the savings are.
