Bureau of Immigration Urges Foreigners to File Annual Reports by Early 2025

·

MANILA – The Bureau of Immigration (BI) issued a reminder on Saturday for all registered foreigners in the Philippines to submit their annual reports within the first two months of 2025. This requirement stems from the Alien Registration Act, mandating all foreign nationals, whether on immigrant or non-immigrant visas, to report annually to the bureau. This includes foreigners who are working, living, or studying in the country and possess an alien certificate of registration I-Card. The BI has designated specific locations for the physical submission of these reports, including the 4th Level Center Atrium at Robinsons Manila in Ermita and the Government Service Express Unit at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. These centers will be open for submissions from Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Additionally, BI offices across the nation will also accept these annual reports.
