BI allows foreigners with visas to leave PH anytime

MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has again eased its requirements for departing foreign nationals to prevent crowding in immigration offices as cases of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continue to surge.

Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said foreign nationals with visas approved by the BI may now leave the country before they could be issued their alien certificate of registration identity card (ACR I-Card).

According to Morente, they will no longer require departing aliens with approved and implemented visas to secure an ACR I-Card waiver order.
