This stage can be conducted either at the Central Receiving Unit (CRU) or with any frontline officer or staff at other Immigration Offices capable of processing this transaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Pay the requisite fees and retain a copy of the Official Receipt for your records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Attend the hearing scheduled for your visa extension application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> If you have previously undergone biometric data capture during your visa conversion, this data will be used for the printing of your renewed ACR I-Card. However, for applicants aged ten<strong> (10) years<\/strong> and below, image and fingerprint capture will be required for every extension of visa. For those aged eleven (11) years and above, image and fingerprint capture will be required every five (5) years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> To check on the status of your visa application, visit the official website. If your application has been approved, submit your <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu247.com\/philippine-passport-appointment\/\">passport<\/a> for visa implementation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Finally, once your ACR I-Card has been approved, ensure to claim it promptly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12656 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1.jpg\" alt=\"Visa Application\" width=\"1084\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1.jpg 1084w, https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1-696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cebu247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/visa-application-1-629x420.jpg 629w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1084px) 100vw, 1084px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu247.com\/visa-consultants-agencies-cebu\/\">List of Visa Consultants and Agencies in Cebu<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Associated_Fee\"><\/span>What is the Associated Fee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Here are the detailed costs involved in the process of extending your Student Visa:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Extension Fee &#8211;<strong> PHP 2, 000. 00\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Legal Research Fee (LRF) for each immigration fee except Head Tax and Fines &#8211; <strong>PHP 20. 00\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Certificate Fee &#8211; <strong>PHP 500. 00<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Express Fee (Certification) &#8211; <strong>PHP 500. 00\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Express Fee (Filing) &#8211; <strong>PHP 500. 00\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Express Fee (I-Card Processing) &#8211; <strong>PHP 500. 00\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Total<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0&#8211; <b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">PHP 4, 020. 00<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: There is an additional I-Card Fee (based on the current exchange rate) of<strong> $50.00.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Strategies_for_a_Smooth_and_Effortless_Extension_of_your_Student_Visa\"><\/span>7 Strategies for a Smooth and Effortless Extension of your Student Visa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ol class=\"pt-[9px] pb-[2px] pl-[24px] [&amp;_ol]:pt-[5px] list-decimal\">\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] my-[5px] [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pb-0\" value=\"1\"><strong>Start early:<\/strong> Begin the process of extending your student visa well in advance to avoid any unnecessary stress or delays.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-base font-normal text-gray-800 leading-[24px] my-[5px] [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pb-0\" value=\"2\"><strong>Research requirements:<\/strong> Familiarize yourself with the specific requirements and documentation needed for the visa extension.
