ALL registered foreign nationals in the country are being advised by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to complete their 2025 Annual Report before the March 1 deadline.
BI Alien Registration Division Chief Atty. Jose Carlitos Licas, Jr. said the call highlights the ease and convenience of its online system as part of the government’s digital transformation efforts.
He said the BI’s online platform allows registrants to fulfill their obligation without the need for physical visits, reducing queues and processing times.
As of February 20, a total of 122,473 foreign nationals have already completed their annual report. However, the BI urges those who have yet to comply to do so immediately, emphasizing that failure to report within the first 60 days of the year may result in fines, penalties, and even deportation.
Licas highlighted the improvements made to the system, particularly the BI’s enhanced online portal at e-services.immigration.gov.ph, which provides a seamless and user-friendly experience for registrants.
For those opting to report in person, the physical Annual Report for the BI’s head office in Manila is being conducted at the 4th Level Center Atrium of Robinsons Manila and the Government Service Express (GSE) Unit of SM Mall of Asia, from Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
BI offices nationwide also cater to the annual reporting requirement.
Under Philippine law, all registered foreign nationals—including those working, residing, and studying in the country—must complete the annual report to update their records with the BI.
