My Annual Report 2017

[imagine]

It's quite true that your Perm Res will only need renewing after 5 years.
However, without strictly following your re-entry rules you could end up losing it.
You'll need to present your 13a ACR and be sure that your entry stamp clearly states 13a before moving away from the immigration desk.
If a mistake was made in your entry stamp it can be corrected at the desk, but I'm told despite a mistake it can never be corrected once you've left the desk.

Now, your immigration shows that your AR has been missed for 'n' times.
I have no idea what should be done in that case. Maybe just pay the missing AR fees plus penalties........For that scenario I'd advise further research.

Anyway on the positive side you may well find some delays etc getting a Residence Card issued. But hang on in there and eventually it'll get sorted.

From that link..

An alien who returns to the Philippines with a re-entry permit shall, if he/she has not yet made the required annual report, make such report within thirty (30) days from the date of his/her return to this country, no fines shall be imposed.

What's the 're-entry permit' ?

Isn't the 're-entry permit' something you get at the airport when you pay for your exit clearance?

I've a feeling that re-entry permit is valid for 12 months. Just a feeling though
Fred do you have any idea on that?

If it's valid for only 1 year then what?

Would be good if we could establish a proper protocol on this

Well.In regards a protocol,I have never left since obtaining one so...??
I`m under the impression that as 13a card holders we do not need an exit clearance.
According to my understanding(only) we need to get a ECC-B (Special Return Certificate) at the airport which is valid for one year..
That said,I have been told by others that have left that the validity on the 13a card has been honored after a trip away for 3 years.
Of course,the card they used was still within it`s 5 year validity date.
The problem in the Philippines is that nothing is clear and mostly open to interpretation!!
