Thankyou Fimy, i'm a Kiwi as well, my dear wife is a Cebuana, we have been through this process before, we came back to NZ, 2015
and are still here, intending to return to our home in Sogod later. Because we were away for a couple of years and visited Cebu last in 2018 i had a problem with my Permanent Resident Card which caused us some inconvenience at Immigration Mactan.
Consequently, we decided to cancel my ACR card to avoid further hassles when we visit on vacation. This is a problem which others may not anticipate when leaving the Phils for a considerable period of time. I think an arrangement can be made whereby the card holder could possibly make annual payments in advance so as to not be embarrassed when entering the Phils with an outdated card
such as i had. Believe me, it was not an experience i would want to repeat. Bob and Lina, Lower Hutt.
Daddybob ohhh wow hi there kiwi and cebuana as well, the philippine system is not very good every other person in the office gives you different information it is confusing sometimes and often leads to complications and cost more money tsk tsk, as the say its more fun in the Philippines hahaha mu husband is still getting used to it hahaha. Cheers Mate nice meeting you here.
For those who will apply in the Manila office in Intramuros it is better to have your letter made there via their own notary public. Remember your letter should be notarized and eventually you will be redirected to the Notary office located somewhere at the back of the office jist ask for directions. 1st application is good for 1 year probationary then you will need to do the same process for the permanent recidency. Bring blank pen, only black ink is allowed. Make sure you have your marriage certificate authenticated, including birth certificate. You will need to apply at least 3 or 2 months before the expiration. It is best to go straight to the BI office for complete requirements. Everyone has their own unique cases. Also after the probationary period pr before the due date apply for nbi clearance 3months ahead of time. Express lane is not really meant to make things faster. It is meant to be for those working as extra to work on the heavy load of processing documents in immigration.
Prosperity Queen the Express Lane should be renamed to its purpose. This caused a lot of arguments in the BI office by foreigners who translates the Express Lane literally.
Informative kaayu

I've been visiting the Philippines since 2015 and we got married just over one year ago, in January 2020. I have been looking for answers about applying for a 13A conversion permanent resident visa on FaceBook but your video has been so clear and complete which will make the process much easier. Thank you for presenting all the information so clearly. Best wishes to both of you.
Thank you for your video. You guys explained the process in detail.

Good advice Thank you for sharing!!!
Good info sis para sanmga bana na gusto na mag stay jan.
Hi, where can I get the downloadable questionnaire? Thank you ❤️
Renewal of NBI can be done at J centre mall in front of NBI. I gave information to data entry person and they put it in via internet. Cost in January 2020 was 245 pesos. Easier than first time when I had to do it at Capitol NBI.
philam1973 we also did my husband’s NBI at Jcenter mall same amount 245 pesos, but it took us 3 weeks to get it cause he got kinda similar name foreigner who has police records so he went through an interview.
Nice video my friend nice tip new friend here see you soon
Na una nako sayo friend pa balik po salamat
very useful content thank you so much for sharing
Hi Fimy! I hope you have been great! Awesome information 🐼🐾👍
I was already on a Balikbayan visa so I didn’t have to worry about a tourist visa expiring. Another person I read recommended the couple leave the country together to the cheapest flight. This gives you 1year in the Philippines. You must come back together.
I have heard you must be in the Philippines for 1 year before applying. This should be confirmed. First time applying for NBI must be done in certain NBI offices. My process time to finally getting my ACR card from initial turn-in documents was 5 months. No delays on my part. BI never texted me for notifications. I applied at Cebu, residing outside Cebu city.
By the way, ACR card is optional for Balikbayan visa holders. I never had one. Arrived here from US, retired, not needing to leave. After one year, I gathered documents starting with NBI.
philam1973 yes I heard about the Balikbayan Visa, our situation is a little different cause I never lived outside the Philippines. Everything that you need to process here takes very very long time which is very frustrating and time consuming.
Really informative. Thank you
MY VISA TORRESIT VISA I AM COMING IN PHILIPPINES 2019 LAST MONTH I AM COMING HERE MY WIFE DEATH 2020 JUNE 24 NOW I MAKE MARRIED 23 YEARS FINISHED WHERE I GET JOINT LETTER MAKE 13 a visa
Important information on renewal: make sure whatever address is on your ACR card is what is on your NBI clearance or BI will not accept your package. Possibly because i was balikbayan visa without ACR card, I had to apply serially which took 5 months total. For renewal, permanent visa and ACR card paperwork was paid for and submitted simultaneously. I paid about 9.2k pesos for conversion to permanent. Includes 2.5k for ACR card.
philam1973 thank you for the info. Noted. We were told also if you have the permanent visa, whenever you went out the country and back again make sure that the immigration officer at the airport stamp your passport as PR and not balikbayan to avoid difficulties.
Wow that’s really good Sis, una na ako naki tambay ng tatlo mnto Sis, hintay Lang ako sau ng parehas na tambay, thanks for sharing Sis

Is the NBI Clearance a record check related to the Philippines? The reason why I ask, is that it says, a foreigner has to get it, if they been in the Philippines for over 6 month.
The NBI clearance is only for Philippines record. It will not reflect any records outside the Philippines.
@@FimyBrown for a 13a visa, if you been in the Philippine for over a year, do you also need to get police clearance from your home Country too?
@@ShawnsLifeInThePhilippines only NBI clearance is from the Philippines is required
@@FimyBrown how long did it take from the time you submitted your application to the BI office?
You stated Marriage and Birth Certificate original copies. Immigration wants NSO forms. They wouldn't accept the original ones.
William Dickinson yes the NSO one, what i mean by original copy is “the actual NSO copy” and not a photocopy of the NSO marriage certificate.
Hello po ask lang unta ko ba
Sa davao man gd me ng file ug 13a
Tapos karun pwde ba namo dri sa cebu ipa check f approve ba sya
Hello po mam ma check mo yung status through the immigration website. www.immigration.gov.ph. Click visa application status (Agenda Verification). And just search the name of your husband.

Yes
Man my husband is wanted to apply permanent residence can you send me mam a guide of your written thank you
Hello can u send me a message on fb messenger. I will send u the instructions there
hi sis salamat ani dako ni tabang soon sa ako bana kay diha ra ba mi mo retire.
Paano po if hindi pa kami kasal ng partner ko na Aussie then pwedi po ba mag apply ng permanent resident?Pls.Any advice po😊Thank u
hello sis soryy medyo matagal naka reply. Hindi pwede sis 13A is only applicable if the foreigner is married to a FIlipino citizen, There is another Residence Visa type which is the investment/retirement, no need to be married to a filipino citizen but it has a financial requirement a certain amount the foreigner needs to put in.
@@FimyBrown Thank you po 😊
Hi Fimy, how long does your foreign spouse need to stay here in the Philippines before he can apply for a permanent resident visa?
Miss Marilyn their is no required length of stay for the permanent visa under 13A. As long as you have marriage certificate you can apply immediately.
@@FimyBrown Aw. Thanks. Could you please make a step by step video on how to get married in the Philippines as well? It'd be very helpful. 😊
Miss Marilyn its a very good suggestion, thank you. I will make one.
So it means even you are married to a filipina it doesnt mean that foreigner can already live in the phils..they can only live permanently by applying 13a visa?
Yes. Needs to apply 13A so they will be granted permanent residency
@@FimyBrown what happened if a foreigner and a filipina just got married before the 36 months of stay in the phils expired does it mean the foreigner should leave at once even after marriage do u have idea about? Ty
@@annemeraldannpenney he needs to extend his tourist visa. He can go to the nearest Bureau of Immigration Office and extend his visa there for another 30. Days.
@@annemeraldannpenney for the first extension they will only allow 30days but for the next extension it can be extended for 60days
@@FimyBrown my fiancee is living here in phils for 8 years every year we go out of the country we arrived from kl march 2018 supposed to be we will going to taiwan last march 2020 but it was pandemic on narch 17 his visa will expired almost 36 months already but we will be married on march 15 after march 17 he will be overstayed ..but b4 that march 15 is our civil wedding do u think he will be granted an extension do u have idea?
What is next after 13A visa ?
and what are the requirements
My husband stays here for almost 12months now he needs to renew his visa but i dont know whats next.. please help 😊😊 thanks
Jennica Sanchez does your husband already have the 13A visa sis? In the first year of the 13A visa is the probation visa and after that it will be the Permanent Visa already.
@@FimyBrown yes mam he has 13A Visa and we went to BI earlier and we are suppose to extend his 13A visa but unfortunately we forgot to renew his NBI haha so we need to go back there after renewing his nbi by the way thank u for your reply godbless ☺☺
ba't ang tagal, sis..sa asawa ko 2 weeks lang.release agad..sabi sa amin basta foriegner ang nag-apply ng NBI clearance ay automatic na hit yon kaya it will take 2 weeks...
It's Adak may similar kasi siya na name sis na may police blotter sa ibang lugar sa pinas kaya matagal kasi daw need pa e interview ulit. Hay naku talaga. 😔
Curious ko sa apec card.mao diay nadugay release ang nbi ana diay na.sayo sila mag cutt off pud.
Fimy, Did you and your husband have to go to Manila for the interview, or are they doing them in Cebu?
Hello the interview was conducted in Cebu. Everything was done in Cebu.
Hi Sis yon bang form ,doon mismo ibibigay sa office,kasi di ba may copy namn sa online,di ba pwede pil apan sa bahay para ready na pagdating doon,ask ko lang .
Hi sis yan ginAwa namin online form yung gamit namin. But pagdating namin sa office nila binigyan kami ulit ng form nila at pina fil up ulit. Hahaha
Fimy, Thanks for the informative video. Can I ask 1) Do I still need to apply for an ARC if I have already approved for the 13A visa. 2) Do I get back the original documents (e.g Birth Cert, police clearance) from BI? Thanks.
Kit hello 🙂 1.) ACR is part when you apply for the 13A, it’s the last part of the application. You must have it because the ACR card will have the Resident Status, it will serve as your ID. 2. ) yes you will have all the original copy of the documents back they will only take the photocopies. Cheers!!
@@FimyBrown thanks for your quick and helpful reply. From my understanding, after 12 months your husband has to re-apply again for permanent 13A residency. Is this your understanding?....if that is true......OMG all the paper work again.
Kit yes! They will give you the temporary visa for the first time hehe and 3months before it expires you need to go back for the Permanent Visa. And yes the same paperwork. And you have to get a new NBI clearance it needs to be recent.
@@FimyBrown Thank you. This is helpful
Fimy, I am inquiring about submitting the papers to the BI. Did you put the papers in some type of plastic cover and the plastic cover is clamped down in the folder? If no plastic cover, are holes punched in the documents? Are the clips/fasteners the type that holes are not punched in the documents?
George Worsham the documents needs to be in a white long folder, the BI office will be the one to punch holes in the documents just make sure you bring a fastener, in the ACR part bring extra folder and fastener we just poke the documents using ballpen hehe
New friend here, inunahan na kita, ibalik mo nalang
Good informative video. My only question is, the foreigners income ? Is there any income requirements to obtain a 13a visa ? Thank you 🇺🇸
Robert Paul hello no income required for the 13A visa. The most important requirement of this visa is to be married to a Filipino citizen.
Good Day, i would like to ask about applying 13A, is it really possible to do it now in Cebu? We don't need to go to Manila anymore? Please let me know, thank you so much Fim, your video is so helpful and clear.
SilverNicron hello yes you can apply in Cebu City the Bureau of Immigration is located in 2nd Level of Jcenter Mall in AS Fortuna Mandaue. No need to go to Manila.
Thank you for this! Abe nako dghan requirements gamay ra mn d ai...😊 Ang Marriage certificate og birthcertificate 1 original copy each lang?
Yes and 3 copies sa photocopy
Just to give you a heads up.
When you go back in one year to convert the probation 13A visa to permanent 13A visa they don't just issue it to you
You must go through the entire process all over again with just a little different documents to provide, and a new NBI clearance again, another interview and again wait 2 to 3 months.
So it's important that you start that process with about 3 months time before the probation year is up.
Hang in there, it's a little bit of work, but the permanent visa is worth having in the long run.
Pirate Cove Philippines yes we were told about this by someone we met their in Immigration, OMG another “very” good system in the Philippines 😂😂
How much should my husband have in his bank account as money matters is also a requirement??
Melody B. Hi mam we were NOT asked any financial proof. It’s not included in the requirement for the 13A visa.
@@FimyBrown thank you for the info😊
Hi mam!ask ko lang kung may idea po kayo,if you enter philippines with balikbayan visa gaano ka dapat katagal mag stay sa pilipinas before ka makapagapply for 13a visa?salamat sa pagsagot.
Mam I was told na if your are planning apply for 13A visa it is best to enter Philippines just with the ordinary tourist visa. Kasi daw very complicated/hassle to convert balikbayan to 13A. Pero hindi ako 100% sure.
My husband entired PH using APEC visa yung business traveller, but Immigration wanted the visa to expire first and let us extend with a tourist visa before we were allowed to apply for 13A.
@@FimyBrown thanks mam sa pagsagot,
Hey how are you girl I just want to ask if we need the birth certificate of him to file the 13a visa,?bcz u said in this vedio only your birth certificate plz let me know thank u
Hello. Only the birth certificate of the filipino citizen is needed.
@@FimyBrown thank u so much girl.
@@FimyBrown last question do we still need his FBI here in US?or we have to get NBI when we get there?thank u and sorry to bother you and thank u...
@@fionaisenhour9926 they only need the NBI from Philippines. But if a foreigner has something to declare any offense he made in US he can bring the a copy of police certificate if non no need to worry about it. Your welcome
I am a bit confused.....I have just come in to the Philippines with my 13 Visa which last for 1 year. Does it mean that once I get my ARC (which they say will last for 5 years), the ARC is my permanent residency permit and that I dont have to worry about renewing my 13A visa when the time is up.
Kit is your Visa still Probationary? For the first year that you have your 13A it’s going to be under Probationary Residence Visa. And then you have to “renew” it a month before the expiry And then thats the time you will get the PR Visa. The ACR card validity is 5 years. But still you have to do the annual report every year and pay 350php.
@@FimyBrown Can you confirm this? If the 13A visa is applied in the Philippines there is a probationary period but if its applied outside of the Philippines , one does no have to renew the Visa? It is permanent.
Kit from what we were told if you still have the Probationary Visa whether your applied it in the Philippines or outside the Philippines you still need to renew it before the expiry date for you to have the Permanent Visa with the 5 years validity of ACR.
And we were told that if you happen to let your Probationary Visa lapse without renewing it on time. You will have to do the process again.
Hello ma'am because it's pandemic and circumstances were about 7 hrs drive from Davao one way .I'm confused and worried as well.my husband is a bb visa Holder but going to expire on nov7,2020.thus we need to renew it even were on 13 a visa?as of now we already process lacking documents and they said after the lacking documents we have schedule for payment..
Magkano sis mag apply permanent visa
11,500 mam I will make a part 2 video later on if ma approved na yung visa ng hubby ko I will include the breakdown of the cost.
@@FimyBrown ok mam thank you
Hello sis ask ko Lang Kung na approved na ba 1 year visa sa emo husband
Yvon Pecqueur hi sis yes na approved na pag Feb. 26 namo gi kuha iyang visa sis
Pila ka buwan process sis? And Isa Lang ba ka original copy need sa birthcertificate ug marriage contract sis?
Yvon Pecqueur 2-3 months ang process sis pero amoa mga 2 months ra ni lusot dayon. Yes one photocopy ra from the original birth and marriage certificate.
Tnx sis.mag apply man gud me this month Kay mag 3 years na ako hubby diri sa pinas Raman na Lang xa sa April eya tourist visa
Yvon Pecqueur apply nalang mo now sis kay need gihapon siya mag extend sa tourist visa while waiting sa permanent visa na ma approved.
Hi pila ka months kailangan mag stay dha pra maka apply anang 13A visa? We’re married for than 12yrs na at gusto na mag for good soon. Salamat
hello sis no minimum months na dapat mag stay. the most important requirement is married kayo. marriage certificate. but if he enters the country as tourist visa he needs to wait na ma extend siya kahit one time before he can apply for the 13A.
Fimy Brown copy salamat kau sa tubag.
Hello p0. Madam😊
mam, required po ba ang joint affidavit of cohabitation for requesting permanent visa?
diane flores cohabitation means not married diba?
diane flores ito po kasi ang definition ng 13A.
The 13(a) Non-Quota Visa is issued to foreign nationals who have contracted a valid marriage, recognized by Philippine laws, with a Filipino citizen. The petitioner of the visa should be the Filipino spouse.
Kaya number 1 requirement in 13A is the marriage certificate that is recognized by Philippine Law.
