Try this link: http://immigration.g...d=115&Itemid=61 I looked at that page before my post. It deals with getting a renewal of an ACR-1 card; part of the renewal process is to submit one's old ACR-1 card. Maybe I should have asked, "How does one get an ACR-1 card for the first time."

Apologize Fatcat........perhaps you could PM Ancienroka for his services. His banner is displayed on this forum entitled "CEBU EXPAT SERVICES". In the meantime, I will continue my research.....

Respectfully -- Jake I was hoping that someone who actually got an ACR-1 card for the first time would reply. It seems to be important in order to open a bank account which is really my primary concern. Perhaps the renewal process is the same as the first time process, but the BI neglects to tell us that at their site. Anyway thank you for your efforts to clarify the situation.

It deals with getting a renewal of an ACR-1 card; part of the renewal process is to submit one's old ACR-1 card. Maybe I should have asked, "How does one get an ACR-1 card for the first time." This was taken from another forum: My friend wanted ACR to open bank account. It is only given at the time of 2nd visa extension. Takes about 2 weeks to process. My ACR expired during middle of extension. Would not give me card early(or would not charge me if ACR not at expiration date). Only at time of next extension(ACR already expired 1 month). It took 2 weeks to get after extension completed. This happen Jan 2012. This is tourist ACR card I am talking about & only what happened in my case(or my friend who I was with). I Will add it is taken now over 3 months to get the card for some reason. Everybody is blaming it on Manila. I recently found a website dealing with the problems for their members here in the Philippines. They actually checked the staus of mine and it is still not available. I am wondering how they can charge you money for a card you are required by law to carry and then not produce the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ACR-1 card is mandatory on the second extension after 59 days and it's included in the BI processing. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Sibbick Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 It is I for immigration. Not a number 1. And it will cost you USD $50 plus P500 express lane fee when you arrange the extension from 59 days to 4 months. By the way, extensions can be arranged up to a month in advance so no need to wait.
