The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Sunday reminded foreign nationals registered with the bureau to file their annual report early to avoid crowds amid the threat of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

“There were barely any reportees during the first month of the reporting period,” said BI Commissioner Jaime Morente in a statement. “We encourage registered aliens to submit themselves early to avoid unnecessary crowds amidst the 2019-nCoV ARD scare.”The 1951 Alien Registration Act requires all BI-registered aliens who are holders of immigrant and non-immigrant visas to make the annual report within the first 60 days of a calendar year.

According to Morente, the annual reporting period will not be extended, and failure to make the report will warrant the imposition of fines and possible prosecution.
