Is Your Philippine Visa or Immigration Record Actually Valid?

Confirm your document is genuine and properly on file, before you find out the hard way.

If you're relying on a visa, stamp, extension or other immigration record, especially one arranged by someone else, it's worth confirming that the document is genuine and that the corresponding immigration record properly reflects what was processed before it becomes an issue during your next renewal, departure or status check, potentially exposing you to immigration penalties or other complications.

Why This Matters

Clients who have previously used another agent or an informal fixer sometimes discover that a visa, extension, stamp or other immigration document is not what it appeared to be, or that the corresponding immigration record does not reflect what they were told had been processed. Verifying the document and underlying record before you rely on them gives you the opportunity to identify a discrepancy and address it before your next immigration transaction or departure.

How We Can Assist

• Reviewing the visa, extension, stamp or immigration document you want checked
• Identifying the document and immigration transaction that needs to be verified
• Verifying the document and corresponding immigration record through the appropriate Bureau of Immigration process
• Identifying discrepancies between the document, the immigration record and what you were told had been processed
• Explaining what the verification establishes and whether anything needs to be addressed
• Managing and coordinating the resulting immigration process on your behalf if corrective action is required

Common Situations We Handle

• Confirming a visa, extension, stamp or immigration document before relying on it
• Checking a document or immigration transaction previously arranged by an agent, fixer or other third party
• Confirming whether an immigration transaction you paid for was actually processed and properly recorded
• Checking your immigration record before a renewal, departure or new application
• Investigating a document or record that appears inconsistent with what you were previously told

How the Process Works

1. Send Us What You Have

   Share the visa, stamp, extension or immigration document you want checked, together with the information you have about the transaction.

2. Verification

   FIS reviews what you were given and verifies the document and corresponding immigration record through the appropriate Bureau of Immigration process.

3. Findings & Next Steps

   We explain what the verification establishes and, if something needs to be addressed, determine and coordinate the appropriate next immigration steps. You can track the progress of your transaction through the FIS Client Portal.

If the Verification Identifies a Problem

If the document or corresponding immigration record does not reflect what you were told or expected, FIS can assess what the discrepancy means for your immigration position and determine what needs to be addressed. Where corrective immigration action is required, we can manage and coordinate the resulting process, including the relevant government-facing steps, rather than leaving you to resolve the matter yourself.
