You report, or we deport! Bureau of Immigration lays down law to foreigners

[ducecoop]

Ok. I have been reading this topic carefully and I think I understand. And I also am a bit worried.

 

I have been in the Philippines over 4 years (minus my 3 year exit). Never once late for an extension, exit clearance, 3 year exit.....

Everything by the book. I thought.

I just went back through all my receipts.

Jan 5, 2016 - AR charge 300

Feb 3 year exit

December 21, 2016 - AR charge. I am assuming due to me leaving the country so they got me twice in 2016.

2017 - extension in Feb - no AR charge.

2017 - extension in April - no AR charge

So no AR charges in 2017

Davao city BI

Current ACR card until Feb 2018

Am I at risk of deportation???

Thank for reading. Hope it was clear

Or they got you early for 2017.  Only your BI officer knows for sure.  But you must surely realize you have done it all by the numbers and no one is going to give you a hard time at BI.  For the record, you did report in Feb.  You got your tourist renewal then.  Up to them what they charge you (or don't charge you) for that but you reported so you're good.

For 310 Peso why not comply with the countries emigration laws. While paying at a BI office you might meet more expats and swap stories or make new friends
