BI requires 100% on-site work in NCR, Alert Level 1 areas

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has mandated a 100% on-site work capacity for all its offices in the National Capital Region and other Alert Level 1 areas, effective immediately.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente stated that strict health protocols, including mandatory face masks and physical distancing, will be enforced for all personnel.

While fully vaccinated individuals can enter BI offices without prior booking, unvaccinated and partially vaccinated clients must secure appointments through the bureau's online system.

The BI will no longer implement a work-from-home arrangement, requiring all employees, regardless of age or health status, to report for duty.

The bureau's operating hours are from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays.

BI offices located in areas under different alert levels will continue to follow their current on-site work capacity guidelines.
