The Bureau of Immigration (BI) announced that the third leg of its nationwide caravan will be held in the picturesque City of Pines.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco declared that the North Luzon leg of the Bagong Immigration Service Caravan will take place at the scenic CAP-John Hay Trade and Cultural Center in Baguio City on May 8.
The caravan aims to offer convenient access to essential services for our foreign nationals residing in the northern of the archipelago.
“Our goal is to bring our services closer to our international guests,” said Commissioner Tansingco. “While many of our services are now accessible online, we recognize the importance of personally engaging with our communities to facilitate immigration compliance,” he added.
The service caravan will visit key regions across the country, providing expedited processing for various BI transactions, including extensions for tourist visas, exit clearances, dual citizenship applications, and other essential services.
By taking services directly to the heart of communities, the BI aims to simplify processes and facilitate compliance for foreign nationals in the country.
In addition to streamlined services, concerned citizens will have the opportunity to report any issues regarding illegal aliens and foreign sexual predators in their area directly through the caravan.
“By bringing our services directly to the communities we serve, we aspire to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and transparency in our operations, thereby contributing to a safer and more secure Philippines,” Commissioner Tansingco remarked with confidence.
The caravan kicked off its journey in Zamboanga City on March 6, followed by the Iloilo leg on April 17.
The Baguio leg of the caravan will welcome applicants from 7 in the morning until 5:30 in the afternoon.
The BI encourages residents of Baguio and its neighboring areas to avail themselves of the expedited immigration services offered.
For further information and updates on the service caravan schedule and locations, interested applicants may visit the official website of the Bureau of Immigration at www.immigration.gov.ph.
