Well, after a quick visit to our friendly local Immigration office today, I now have a ‘Permanent Resident’ stamp in my shiny new British passport… and just a sweet smile and a reminder from the young lady behind the counter, to remember to pop in next year, with my 310 Annual Report pesos. 

New ACR-1 card on its way, valid for 5 years. 

So they didn't tell you to go and get the Annual Report as well where you did it?  

I was told and did the annual report right after my passport/stamp were handed to me.  Also the ACR card was already available.  This was Intramuros though.

Maybe this was another "Intramuros only" scam lol.    Might not be a bad idea to find out for sure.

It is only about timing.  Annual Report is Jan/Feb and Graham got his 13a complete in March.  He would have paid the Annual Report fee before.

If you had not done in yet in Jan/Feb, they would have asked you to do it.  You got your 13a completed in late Feb., right?

Yes indeed ... did my annual report in January... same day as applying for Probationary 13A to 'Permanent' .

Ok that's why you didn't need to do it as I didn't know that you already did it.  Duh Shol :)

Makes sense now just looking out for everyone from as many angles as possible!

Take care!
