I-Card now being processed in Clark

CLARK FREEPORT -- Processing of Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) I-Card can already be done at the Bureau of Immigration (BI), One Stop Shop Center at CDC Building 2127 here.

The processing inside the Freeport zone is part Clark Development Corporation’s (CDC) thrust to help investors simplify the process of getting ACR I-Card, said CDC President Benigno Ricafort.

Ricafort said that for those who have been issued working visas and have not applied for their ACR I-Card yet, “you are hereby advised to contact Ms. Arlene Quodala, Immigration Officer, through (045) 599-4402 for your ACR I-Card capturing schedule.”

For those applying for working visas, ACR I-Card will be processed simultaneously with the stamping of working visas, Ricafort added.

Earlier, CDC also upgraded the import and export automated system project of the Bureau of Customs in compliance with the Electronic Transit and Admission Permit System (E-Taps) of Clark Freeport Zone and Subic Bay Freeport Zone that will upgrade transaction on import and export processing of the two freeport zones in Central Luzon last year.

“This is towards our thrust of shifting to automation of processes for lesser face-to-face transactions,” said Ricafort. (RGN)
