Gratefuled Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I didn't have to wait long for mine. I've never had any use for it so the short wait never was a problem. It's just something for Bureau of Immigration to charge foreigners for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have joint checking and savings. I just submitted my USA Passport and California Driver's License.. I don't even know if I had an ACR Card back then. I think that is something new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was the same with BPI, just my passport and a letter from my bank in Aus, but it seems all banks here are not the same. I went to BDO first they wanted passport, D/L and ACR card just for a debit a/c. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to get my visa extended out to 59 days (you can do that anytime in your first 30 days). BPI wanted to see the I have no criminal record piece of paper from BI along with my passport.
