Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente reminded foreigners in the country that starting January they should report personally to the BI.
“Failure to do so may result in fines, visa cancelation, deportation, or imprisonment,” Morente warned in a statement.
The commissioner explained that under the Alien Registration Act of 1950 requires foreigners with immigrant and non-immigrant visas to report in person to the BI within the first 60 days of every calendar year.
With this, Morente advised foreigners to immediately register with the BI’s online appointment system for their schedules on when they will make their annual report.
“As with all other transactions, we will not allow the entry of walk-in foreigners who wish to make their annual report,” Morente said.
“They have to obtain their schedule via our online appointment system,” he added.
Aside from the BI main office in Intramuros, Manila, he said foreigners may also report to the nearest participating BI field, satellite or extension office.
