    Doesn't apply to you and me Stuart, as we can get ours at the airport. Takes 5 minutes max.

    The ECC is for those who have stayed in the Philippines for over 6 months on a tourist visa. It usually takes a day or two depending on which immigration office you use. Pain in the back side, especially if you live far away from any immigration offices. There again how many countries would allow you to stay for 3 years without showing any evidence of funds.

    I know it's a bit off-topic, but just thought I'd mention that I never been asked how much income I have or to submit any evidence of income. This, despite being required by immigration rules, and despite me having my financial status documents certified and legalised in UK.

    Perhaps someone, somewhere is waiting to spring that on me later

    Rules tend to be inconsistent in the Philippines

    If they had asked me to show proof of income, i would have had to take my clapped out tricycle and 3 chainsaws to immigration I only cut coco lumber.....honest!

    I thought that had finished when the immigration attorney approved my 13a after the last interview.

    matters of finance were only asked on my first interview in manila for probationary,

    my interview with attorny at cagayan for permanent , his only intersest was dates of marraige, and if i knew my wifes name ect, no questions at all about finance, but in my situation, Lolita is employed as a teacher this is on their records , but i think you wont have a problem, very simple the next time .

    by the way in manila, i only had my pension forcast, which isnt realy proof of anything, any bank statements were print outs from online banking, which anyone could print up

    Not necessarily! The route from 13(a) Temporary to 13(a) Permanent used to take one year; it can now take up to five years at the whim of the local Alien Control Officer. This change was brought in just over a year ago by Commissioner Misson and has not been altered as far as I know.

    You can relax, Peter. You almost certainly won't be asked for your financial details nor will you be asked to produce a Police Clearance; both these can be asked for at the 13(a) Probationary application stage however.

    I needed to submit a Police Clearance (certified and legalised) as part of the application, also myriad of other documents, most of which were not needed or mentioned in the rules.
    Things were much simpler after a visit to City Hall

    I was also requested to submit NBI clearance which I didn't have (or need according to the rules) but the kindly immigration officer organised it all for me and charged me accordingly.

    I was told to wait for instructions for my Biometrics and issue of my ACR card.
    The attorney who interviewed me issued a letter of confirmation that my application had been approved and my permanent visa would be issued after 12 months from the date of his letter.
    Anyway we'll see what happens.
