I initially arrived late November 2022. I got my 30 day required extension in Dec. In January I got 2 month extension and applied for my ARC-1 card. They said it would be there when I came to extend in March.
However, we went to Thailand for 4 days and I didn't go pick up the ARC-1 card . Figuring on doing that when I get a new extension. Tomorrow I am going in, still on my 29 days visa free period. Kinda planning on just grabbing my ARC-1 card at BI - Robinsons in Cebu, then actually drive to Mactan to check out the "faster processing" I've heard about here for my extension.
- Did I lose rights to the ARC-1 card by going to Thailand for a few days?
- Do I apply anew for only a 30 day extension now or can I get longer?
Thanks everyone!
