Went for my 4 month tourist Visa extension and renewed my ACR I card for another year yesterday at BI office in CDO. Fees for the 4 month extension totaled 3,140.00 Php's. Renew the I card for 1 year was 2,391.00 Php's. What surprised me were the 3,000.00 Php's total charged for the express land fees. 1) Express lane fee (I card processing) 500.00 Php's. 2) Express lane fee 2,000.00 Php's. 3)Express lane fee (certification) 500.00 Php's. It's my understanding BI uses the express lane fees to boost employee salaries at tourist expense. I had the option of leaving my Passport at BI for up to a week to avoid the express lane fees. I dont leave my Passport with anyone especially a government agency. I dont mind paying fees to stay in the Phil. but the express lane fees are excessive. But i guess it is a lot more expensive and hassle to try and fly back to the States during this pandemic with so many conflicting rules worldwide.
