Merry belated Christmas all!. A while back I posted the aborted attempt to get my permanent 13A visa. The results was that the BI employee in Manila that because my ACE-1 card was issued for 5 years I did not need to worry about getting my permanent 13A visa. I personally did not like that answer but the wife accepted it and had no desire to continue with the paperwork filing process at BI. So rather than cause a scene I agreed and we went home. So now it is time for the annual Alien registration. The requirements are the current ACR-1 card, current passport, and last year's original receipt. I assume they will validate that my visa is current, when I last entered the country, if I paid the past required fees, and if my ACR-1 card is still valid. My question to all of you is if I can expect an issue to arise due to my probationary 13A visa being expired as of Sep 2020? If so would they just fine me, give me a new Balikbayan visa/tourist visa, or arrest and deport me? In other words should I get my bags packed?
