BI clarifies alien spouses of Pinoys with existing visas can enter PH
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente clarified that the said aliens can enter the country as long as the visas that were issued to them are still valid.
Morente said he issued the clarification to address reports of alleged confusion over the BI’s earlier pronouncement that all foreign spouses, dependents and parents of Filipinos must have the appropriate visas to enter the country. He said “only foreigners married to Filipinos who do not possess any visa at all are required to secure entry visas.”
A memorandum issued last Wednesday by BI port operations Division chief Grifton Medina further clairified that alien spouses, minor dependents and parents of Filipino minors are no longer required to secure visas if they already possessed valid visas.
