BI Alien Annual Report

Registered aliens and ACR I-Card holders—except temporary visitor/tourist visa holders—must accomplish the Alien Annual Report, typically early in the calendar year. BI’s Annual Report page notes late fines running from March 2; confirm the live reporting window on the official AR page or current-year guidelines PDF before you file. Register online via BI eServices, then appear at a participating BI office with ACR I-Card/paper ACR, passport, and prior AR receipt when applicable. BI also describes a virtual Annual Report option for qualified foreign nationals. Published AR fee is commonly ₱300 + ₱10 LRF (₱310), with about ₱200 per month fine for delay—confirm live assessment.

Mandatory annual report for registered aliens and ACR I-Card holders (tourists generally excluded)—online registration then BI office appearance or virtual AR when qualified.
