The Bureau of Immigration recently announced that immigrants or permanent residents whose alien certificate of registration identity card (ACR I-Card) expired may still enter the country if they hold a valid reentry permit.
Key Points:
Additional Information: ACR I-Cards are not to be used as the determining factor to admit foreign nationals into the country.
BAL Analysis: This directive will allow many immigrants and permanent residents who failed to renew their ACR I-Cards the option to enter the Philippines. Other entry restrictions remain unaffected by this announcement. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and BAL will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
