Quick 13A annual report question

[Huggybearman]

I am a probationary 13A holder and will be doing my first annual report this week. Is it a requirement that my wife has to accompany me? From what I can gather, I am thinking not, but I don’t want a wasted visit to find out that her attendance is also required.

Thanks in advance.

 No Huggy not at all.

In my case it was, Jack.

She holds the purse strings so I needed her there for the 310php.

I have been saving my pocket money, so I have enough. Unless my wife finds it first! 🙂

I hope you've allowed extra for the photocopies they invariably need that you don't have.

Actually, I was in the same situation as you a couple of weeks ago, and they DID ask where my Mrs was (She was waiting outside)... so I'd drag her along, just in case.

That may be where they try to trip people up.  When a fellow lets it slip that he is not with his wife anymore then they have a GOTCHA moment.

Everything turned out well. Her presence was not required. This time, anyway!
Thanks everyone for your input.

what's supposed to happen when your spouse is dead? I heard an expat said his spouse was already dead.and he lives with his 2 kids.

If the gentleman is on this forum, I'm so sorry my condolence to you.

 You can apply for a compassionate continuance of you 13a Jim but it would be only granted while the kids are still in full time Education after that I am not sure what would Happen. Of course should you remarry then you would need to do the whole 13a thing again with a new petitioner. Such is my Understanding
