Want Suggestions on Renewal of 13A & Annual Report.

(1) My stepson is working to file my annual report online.
(2) Also my 13A must be renewed in February.
****************************
When I applied for the ACR-1 & later the 13A it was such a hassle, something I don't want to go through again.
Has anyone used a service that you can recommend for doing this? Any suggestions anyone?

Also in the past, if I remember correctly, there was a member of this forum whose wife did immigration work.

Are they still around? - @Enzyte Bob

You may be talking about VanEngen whose wife Mary Rose handles SRRV but I'm not sure she does 13A. For me, I use JRC for everything, even US passport renewals and visa re-stamps and in my experience, they are very good. Check out JRC Visa Consultancy and Immigration Services Manila branch.

Hi, I did the annual report in Boracay yesterday. Before I entered everything online and got an email with a registration number. Then I went there, they took my photo, checked my ACR card and passport and then I paid 310 PHP in cash. It was done in 5 minutes.

As you have the 13a for the first year, the unlimited 13a requires the same documents. They will take your finger prints at the immigration and make a new photo from you for your new ACR card. I did it in Manila in 2023 and it was done in less than 2 hours. After some weeks you need to go there again to pick up your new, yellow ACR card.

Are you Registering Online and reporting in person or Choosing the Virtual annual Report ?

Without wishing to be Bobs spokesperson but I think he would rather deal with an Indian call centre than visit the Bureau of Immigration in Manila..
