PRESS RELEASE
BI clarifies Retiree’s Visa Holders allowed to enter without exemption docs
MANILA, Philippines—The Bureau of Immigration (BI) announced that aliens holding the Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV) issued by the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) are now allowed to enter the country.
In an advisory, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said that following the most recent Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID), upon recommendation of the Department of Tourism (DOT), those holding SRRVs are now allowed to enter the country without an entry exemption document.
Those holding tourist visas, said Morente, are still not permitted to enter the country, unless authorized by the country’s foreign posts abroad through an entry exemption document.
BI Port Operations Division Chief Atty. Carlos Capulong likewise added that all arriving passengers are still required to present their 10-day quarantine hotel or facility booking, except for those who have been fully vaccinated in the Philippines, who would only need to present a 7-day booking.
Capulong clarified that those coming from the seven travel-restricted countries namely India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates are still not allowed to enter until June 15.
Capulong added that their personnel are on standby to service passengers that may arrive through repatriation programs of government or non-government entities for Filipinos coming from the seven countries.

PRESS RELEASE
Aliens with BI-approved visas can still leave sans ACR I-Card
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) said it will continue to allow the departure of foreign nationals with approved immigrant and non-immigrant visas even if they have not yet been issued their alien certificate of registration identity card (ACR I-Card).
In an advisory, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the Bureau extended until December 31 this year its policy temporarily allowing foreigners with approved and implemented visas to leave pending release of their ACR I-Card.
He explained that in lieu of the ACR I-Card, the said departing aliens need only to present official receipts of the ACR I-Card waiver application fee and reentry permit (RP) or special return certificate (SRC).
Morente said the extension is due to the implementation of the community quarantine in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces and the relatively high number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
BI Deputy Commissioner J. Tobias Javier, whose office processes ACR I-Card waiver applications, said he recommended the extension so as not to inconvenience foreigners who wish to leave the country during the pandemic.
“Immigration officers, upon presenting official receipts of fees paid by the alien, should ensure that the passenger has a valid visa implemented on his or her passport before clearing the latter for departure,” Javier said.
He also advised that departing aliens to safekeep their official receipts as the same shall serve as their ACR I-Card waiver which they would need to present upon their return to the country.
Javier stressed that payment of the ACR I-Card waiver application fees and corresponding ECC or RP/SRC fees are only allowed at the BI main office and authorized sub-port offices.
“We will continue to find ways to ease the burden of foreign nationals during this pandemic, while ensuring that said aliens are still in compliance with immigration laws,” said Morente.
