As an American with an SRRV and permanent residence, there are few advantages to citizenship. The only advantages that exist for citizenship are the right to own property and firearms, and the right to own a business, and the right of my children to be citizens. If my citizenship can be revoked if I leave for a year, it is not a real citizenship. By staying a permanent resident, I also do not pay any taxes in the Philippines unless I earn money here. Filipinos who emigrate to America can become a naturalized citizen in five years and they enjoy far more rights as soon as they enter America, and their children are automatically citizens if they are born in America. A filipino does not lose citizenship in America no matter how long they leave America. These new proposals are better, but they still seem discriminatory from my point of view, when compared to the rights that a filipino enjoys in America, such as the immediate right to own property and firearms and get a driver's license before even becoming a citizen. It is a difference in political philosophies: the Philippines treats people as subjects where America views the government as subordinate to the rights of the people, who are sovereign. As long as you obey the law, the government cannot remove your citizenship, and this is an extremely rare occurrence.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate your comments.
Permanent residency and citizenship are two different things. This whole video was about permanent residency for a foreigner immigrant or non-immigrant or Balikbayan.
You can buy a condo any time but only a phillipins citizen born can own land
The Phil’s do not have the same immigration laws as the US so don’t compare apples to oranges. Also, if born in the US, a child is deemed a US citizen based on “jus soli”or country of birth. The right to citizenship at birth in the Philippines is based on “jus sanguine” or related by blood. . One of the parents must be a Filipino citizen for the child to claim Filipino citizenship. Those principles alone will tell you our laws are very different.
@@ellavalles-c4z That's why I commented.. it took a lot of paperwork, time, and money for me to get my son just to have my surname, but his mother is Filipina and he was born here so it actually wasn't too bad. The hard part will be getting him his dual citizenship from the U.S. Some people just don't know.. I actually have to do it Manila and go to where he was born in Quezon City.. it's gonna be a nightmare, but that's from the U.S. side of things.. I had to get everything straight with the Philippines first.
My advice: get hold of the immigration law, read it, don't rely on youtube narration or interpretation of the law.
@@uco1235 but the UA-cam way is faster and lazyierrrrrr
MY EXPERIENCE WITH FILIPINOS IS IF YOU HELP THEM ONCE THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME! DOES IT SOUNDS UNGRATEFUL? I THINK YES. REGARDING THE PHILIPINES CITIZENSHIP I WOULD NEVER BOTHER TO GET IT. I AM HAPPY WITH MY ORIGINAL ONE. STAY THERE AS A PERMANENT RESIDENT.
I don't care about my own citizenship. For me, my passport is just a means of travelling. I don't even vote in my country since 25 years (before only twice in 18 years) and will never do it again.
This new change doesn't apply to most foreigners that want to be permanent residents. As always the Philippines makes everything complicated
I was just going to say that.
why is this complicated? I don't understand. and why doesn't it apply for most foreigners, because their education is not suitable?
@@jpjay1584 By "education is not suitable" do you mean their skill set to apply for a permanent visa? And as far as complicated, no two Bureau of Immigration locations are a like. Even the govt website can be contradictory at times. It's easier to understand if you've been through/are currently dealing with the process.
Also it doesn't apply to most foreigners that aren't married, investors, or meet a certain criteria. The majority are expats that are just trying to retire here. So usually they go with the SRRV but not all initially qualify for that either. I've been here for over 2 years and I'm still having issues getting residency status to open a local bank account (one of the requirements) to apply for an SRRV. And that is just one example of how complicated it can be.
@@jpjay1584 That's the way the Ph is.
@@xEvingodx omg!!
Well, that's as clear as mud. And I thought the Immigration Law of the US was confusing. I will do the SRRV visa if I want to stay or go back and forth for visits on the Balikbayan visitation with my spouse.
Thank you for watching!
i move to the Philipinnes permanently soon but these available visa´s are not helping at all. Many asian countries have way better options, i hope the Philipinnes will adept... but we know the Philipinnes, i am in the mid 40´s and probably be dead for a long time already until they have made better visa options...
Thank you for watching!
I just got my 13A visa by marriage. The process was very straight forward and there was almost no confusion as to what steps needed to be taken. The immigration head office was always super busy. The staff were really helpful. I've been to a few immigration offices in different countries. They always seem to be the worst bunch of people employed by them. The Philippines Immigration was the best . All the staff were super helpful and kind. Even the officer who interviewed me was very polite and accommodating. It left me with a really great impression of the philippines
Congrats. God bless you

Visit, have fun and adventure.... and when your Visa runs out go somewhere else and repeat the process. Return to the Philippines in the future and repeat. You are not a tree.... you can move and the neighboring countries have just as much to offer without being tied down to the whims of government policy. Go where you are wanted.

"only in the Philippines" 😀 I love how there are all these restriction for foreigners. But your average Filipino can drive around without any license, registration, or valid tag on their MC. It's so obvious that these restriction for foreigners have absolutely nothing to do with public safety. I wonder what it's all about ? 🤔

Outstanding info I am moving there in nov of this year my girlfriend of 2 years there we will be married its good that helps us
Until your Philippine wife decides she doesn`t want you any more and then you`re out on your ear. So when married better ensure you reach all your wife`s expectations and desires.
Good luck.
First thing she will do is get pregnant to stick you with child support, then her family will move in with you and you will be guilted into paying all of their bills for as long as you’re married, and after you realize that you can’t live on $10 a day like you heard on all those YT videos, she will find another foreigner that makes more than you and you’ll be worse off than when you started, lmao.
Unless you’re a pensioner making $2K a month that doesn’t want a gf or wife and has a vasectomy, you’re going to regret your decision, she doesn’t want you, she wants your money, just ask the tens of thousands of foreigners that get married thinking it’s going to be such a great life but end up divorced with a bunch of kids they can’t afford.
Don’t be a fool . 😂
@@antonglas7488
He’s gonna find out.
Poor sap. 😂
So if I understood you correctly, as an American retired with a pension but no Philippine wife or children , nothing has changed.
Still the 30 day entry then extend visa up to 3 years then leave and start over.
Currently I live in Cambodia due to their 1 year multi entry/exit visa fir retirees.
Man, I'm very interested in learning more. I'm currently in Cebu Philippines, but I intend to visit cambodia when my visa expires. I may stay there.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m an American, been living here since 2018, and plan to stay here, so permanent residency would be a great thing for me. I see a lot of commenters complaining about things that you didn’t even talk about. Don’t let them upset you, there are lots of unhappy people in the world who enjoy making other people just like them: unhappy. Great video ❤
Thank you so much 😊. I really appreciate your comments! I understand…some unhappy people just need to vent 😅🤣😂.

@@thefilipinojoe Out of the Philippines for 50 yrs, no desire to go back except to see the hype about El Nido.
Your channel is very informative, I am married to a Philippine Citizen since 2009 and now living here on the Panay Island. I would like to apply for permanent resident, I was told that I would have to travel to Manila to process this application, is there some where closer to Ilo Ilo City Panay Island? Thank you very much and I love the Philippines.
You can apply for PR in Cebu City Immigration.
Been here over a year, my permanent visa is applied for, Cebu, and I highly recommend using the service across the mall from immigration. They were recommended by an immigration worker. Cost seems high (40K or so) until you try to do it on your own. Retired, relaxing was my plan- as far as the process? I do not look down on it, or the people, I choose this and the time i spend here. A smile, appreciation goes farther than one can imagine. Gratuities and being pleasant make the life a bit better for all. Otherwise? I could go sit in DFW traffic, LA traffic, pay 30K in Chicago property taxes, and be involved with a bitter woman instead of a sweet lady, married over 11 years, about 10 in the USA, and 1.5 in Philippines.... living on the waterfront in Bohol... ahhhhhh
It took some time to settle in, accept the 'way things are done' and not be stressed. But it can be done! Respect the culture, respect the people, learn to say 'private' when asked personal questions by total strangers. I have lived in beautiful areas where people became oblivious to their surroundings and had crap lives. I did not take the Rockies for granted, the desert for granted, and i do not take my time here, or my sweet lady for granted by appreciating all every day... so yes, the short answer... you can apply for your permanent visa in Cebu!!!! hehe
What gets me is, the visa can be cancelled if the foreign spouse fails to give support to the Filipino FAMILY. I have no problem supporting wy wife and kids, but I'm not supporting her family. That can easily get out of hand. Where does it end?
The provision of the law refers to your own immediate family - wife and children.
It's a bloody joke that can easily be abused..
There already is a law (family code 195) that requires support of the parents.
@@NorKavon I find that hard to believe
@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 If only Filipino husbands were held accountable that cheat on their wives, get a mistress and don't pay child support.
When will this law be voted on and potentially passed??? I'm an American currently living here on ACR-I card and I have a natural born Filipino son.. He has my name and all his documents are done in my name. Which includes his Filipino passport. I would very much like to get a quota visa (preference 1 or 2 or both). Thanks for the info!
Thank you for watching!
The cancelation of a non-quota visa upon separation has flaws as it coerces/forces partners in abusive marriages to remain in the environment inorder to remain in their children's lives.
Many parents in abusive marraiges sacrifice themselves for their children.
It also gives too much power to the Filipino spouse who could use the threat of separation as a weapon against their husband/wife.
This law in my opinion although a great step in the right direction may require a rethink.
It also opens up, as it did in New Zealand, woman selling fake marraiges inorder to get NZ citizenship status to migrants (for money).
These marriages were/are only a "paper marriages".
NZ had to restrict the number of times a woman/men could marry a migrant then apply for citizenship to 2(?) and enforce a minimum term for length of marriage.
Students were frequently involved in this scam as a means to pay for their ongoing educational expenses.
Yes, it's still happening today.
Thank you for watching!
Last I checked, uni for New Zealanders is pretty affordable, so it shouldn’t be necessary for them to scam-marry to pay their way through college.
Has there been any progress on the "Digital Nomad" VISA? That is the one that seems to fit my situation perfectly. I'm hoping to semi-retire to the Philippines in 2 years and keep working remotely for my American, Canadian and New Zealand clients.
Thank you for the information. I am an Australian married to a Filipina and currently here on a Balikbayan. Looking at eventually applying for SRRV. This could be a game changer for me.

This will bring in a lot of money for the Philippines but will also drive up property prices, I’m sure a lot of Americans and Europeans would like to have a home there and or retire there, the influx of foreign cash will help the economy of Philippines.
The law on land ownership will remain the same. We will never allow foreigners to own lands in our country. If some stupid politician will approve it, there would be rioting and assaults directed to foreigners.
Having to support their entire family!?
Get orphan. Best trick in the book
Family is only the father,mother and child.
Entire family is a family clan they are not included on the provission
No ,understood that your family your wife and.your kids not extended family
I love your country and the people. The kindest, happiest , most friendly people on the planet.
obviously not or they wouldn't all move to america
As long as you assume the role as the 24/7/365 ATM ,..... they yea, you're loved. It sounds like you haven't been around too much. How long have you been living here ?
@@spudspuddy WRONG they want the $ money
It should remain difficult for permanent residency as it is suppose to sort the genuine and non genuine. To reveal the truth in loyalty, assimilation etc.
Making permanent residency makes it easy for infiltration, hybrid invasions via migration.
On a similar note but still easy permanent residency pathways happening to Western nations, falling prey to easy permanent residencies under gaming of refugee destroys the nation, destroys the local citizens future and is a dilema that no one has reversed.
Hi! Where can we view this proposal? Would like to read more about it.
There is no news here. Whether it eventually gets voted on and passes is irrelevant. This is just additional bureaucratic legislation that has no incentives for non-filipinos to come and retire here. I would call this clickbait as well :(
Always has been quota and non quota
Before quota was was 50 immigrants per nationality per year now 200
As a reminder IF you hold a 13a visa married to filipina
Remember she is your sponsor
She can withdrawal at any time (pokwang perfect example ) and your visa is revoked OR if she were to pass away your visa also is revoked, you become 9a tourist
Even if you've lived 50 years in philippines! Unlike usa where after 2 years your provisional green card becomes permanent and if you divorce or she passes away you don't lose your green card
IF you are a citizen of a low population country I.e. Iceland Luxembourg etc it is better just to apply for a quota visa
Rather than relying on a filipina spouse (read above)
Since you are married to Filipina also following the civil and family code,so it's not possible your 13a visa be revoke.
The Philippines is learning that they can't compete with other asian countries visa offers.
This is just more Philippines pimping fillipinas. It always ends with " get married".
What counts most for me is that everyone speaks English.
@@wernerschneider4460 Young women with an old turd
Permanent residency that expires, and most people believe it is permanent. 😂. Mabuhay. Expats loose their reasoning and logic when they arrive.
The Philippines is beautiful, but don't lose your mind on arrival.
Absurd to have to support the parents. That part angers me, because they will spend what you give them in one day and demand more the next.
So failure to give support to the spouse and the family means Mother and father of the spouse?
@@jericho82 I think the parents of the Filipino must be supported as well. Which doesn't make sense to have to support grownups. Even in the western world, when you are 18 years old you are on your own and you have to fly or fall when pushed out of the nest. This is going to keep a lot of foreigners away. But I believe that it's crucial to take care of your own children.
@@ricksarazin1379 if it's true it's the most stupid law i ever see, they should call it parasite law, thank god the parents of my wife are already dead
YOU MARIED HER YOU TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES NOW MY FRIEND
@@PinoyHolyGrail no need to yell, actually you can move her to your home country and leave the parents in the Philippines and they won't be able to enforce such a stupid law. P.S. I haven't married one yet.
Under "nonquota immigrants" section A, it states abandonment by the foreign spouse to give support by the foreign spouse to the Filipino spouse and family. I can understand the family part, but the family is considered all family members including aunts, uncles, cousins, siters, brothers, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, etc. This is stating you are requied to support from 50 to 100 family members if you separate and also support if you are together. A family to a Filipino is the entire family; not just the spouse and underaged children. Any family member could claim abandonment is the foreign spouse is not supporting them financially. This proposal does not clearly define "family".
Agree
But in my opinion
Their children
Family is referring to father,mother and child as stated by the civil and family codel of philippines Which also a provision in new immigration law
Any siblings, of the clana ther in law,mother in law, siblings is called extended family.
They are not covered by the law procession
That was very thorough. Thank you for that information. ❤👍❤👍
I am sorry to say this, but the Philippines is making itself less and less attractive to retirees. Many idiotic vlogs hype it as being some kind of fantasy paradise. Meanwhile, other SE Asian countries, that are less expensive, and with much better infrastructure are outpacing it. It's like they don't really want more expats here (now that they've made the tourist visa policy more tedious). I'm wondering, if it wasn't for the many prospective mates, would so many choose to migrate here?
Many expats that were in the Philippines went to Thailand. It's the new hot spot for retiring.
It is not the Philippines lost if its laws are not attractive to you. It caters to protect its citizens first. Go to where you find your kind of happiness 😅
@@pektowanderlust always the best comeback...if you don't like rules then go elsewhere. Everyone has a choice where they want to live so either accept the law or go pound sand elsewhere...Foreigner's with superiority complex are not welcomed in the Philippines. Or just stay in your own country.
I think that the Philippines should not become a dumping ground of foreigner's who can't afford to live in their own country because of the high cost. The trend is definitely going in this direction especially for immigrants from the US....
Yes they/I would. The Phillipine people are wonderfully kind, respectful, and welcoming to foreigners. I'm not sure the same can be said for other places.
📣 WOOOW! Very good video! Thanks for this! 👋🏼 I am a Small Struggling Travel Channel and this video really inspire me to up my self and make better content ☺️
I’m confused. So is this different from the 13A or does it make the 13A easier? It seems like much hasn’t changed.
People there is a pattern here all these countries that use to be easy and straightforward are making it harder and changing laws for residency etc. its as if they really don't want us there anymore.
Yes, you Americans and Westoids are not wanted anymore in SE Asia. Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia are interested in joining BRICS. We will follow soon in 2028 when the Duterte daughter and dad tandem are already our president and VP.
an epiphany moment, yep when you move to another country abuse and show no consideration for their rules and values guess what this is where it starts to constrict your options, welcome to YOUR FOREIGN TRAVELLERS WORLD
Not surprising, I light of UK and EU invasions, tell you this when world leaders come for breakfast with the PH president, they exchange tax and immigration information, case in point
Tony blare, uk PM directly responsible for introduction of VAT in PH over a cup of tea. Opps
I'm a us citizen who moved permanently to the Philippines in early 2021.
Later this yr celebrating 30 yrs with my asawa.
I went thru the 1 yr. probationary process for my 13a visa (permanent resident), and this past January, i became a permanent Resident.
The whole process went smoothly for me even though i live 3 hrs from the city (Cebu).
How much did you deposit in there bank system 13a
Same scenario.. we have million kababayan living outside Philippines
Bout time guys NOT taking care of their kids got held accountable!
I agree with this specific part, it ticks me off people making babies and leaving the mother to support the child. But taking care of your wife's parents will be abused.
Yes in some case but it's a trap used, to force in relationships as Well remember dependant is not blood children, its wife and family any poor guy is deportations vonerable if they please its family act/ law also if you become disabled here, being a strain on there medic system, they can deport you as well
What they mean by failure to give support to the spouse and the family? Mother and father of the spouse?
My wife's parents are long dead. No wonder, she is 63. And her oldest sister turns 80 this September, two days after my wife turns 64. Will be a joint party for the family, only that I won't be there, because I have work-obligations until late November.
family how long is a piece of string, but you came you married you take the hit's
The whole clan🙃
That was about as clear as mud!!
😃
It doesn't do any good to put out proposals until it's law. Even after it's a law the Philippines will find something to change like they usually do with new laws. 🤣
Yup… that’s the truth 😅! Anything can change 😂.
***I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE EXCITED BUT HEALTHCARE IS IMPORTANT. TOP QUALITY HOSPITAL, GOOD DOCTORS AND DO THEY OFFER HEALTH INSURANCE FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS? WHAT HOSPITALS IN PHILIPPINES WILL ACCEPT US? THAT'S IMPORTANT.
I ADD TO THAT what companies offer value of money policies, its a grey area or a rip off situation with international companies
@@PinoyHolyGrail Free Public Healthcare...20 beds in one room shared by all kind of illness.
let me know when i can just live with my wife and kids here without all the confusing paperwork and trips to immigration and repeated paying... otherwise nothing has changed.
Question... Under the non-quota, when it says "spouse and family", are they speaking of the spouse and joint kids, or the spouse, her siblings, parents, grandparents, adult children (married or single) and others as well??
Following
When we says family is referring only to father,mother and children
When we talk about included the grandparent of the children or any member of the siblings lives in one roof is an extended family
@@airandyle So a foreign spouse should be required to spend his hard earned money on the wife's parents? Understand that many of the immigrant men over here have only their social security payments as income (roughly $1600 usd), and that is not nearly enough to provide for his household here, any residual bills from back in his country such as his kids or grand kids and be financially stable here. That seems more like punishing foreign men for marrying a woman from here and will eventually cause foreign men to stop doing so. I can understand a man helping when HE sees he can afford it, but for it to be a mandatory part of being a spouse is a bit too much.
In law, the term "Family" always refers to the first degree - Husband, wife, children, adopted children and in some countries the pets are included.
If they talk about the second degree family it´s about your parents and your childrens kids. In some counries your siblings are also second degree. ( also counts for the wife of course) Third degree are everyone else. Like uncles, cousins etc.
@@TDK67DK I am absolutely for providing for the wife and any children in the custody of the wife. Thats a given even in America... a step father should always provide for the step children if they are not of working age. Its when I see filipinas that make their foreign spouses feel obligated to gives them money for the parents, cousins and siblings when there are many others in the family that can provide. It tends to be the thought that when a Filipina marries a foreigner, she will be the main provider to the rest of the family because she gets a million dollars from the foreigner. Again, I know many immigrant men here that were in poverty in their own countries, and have just enough to feel middle class here.
i wish they would just let americans who are married to filipinas and have children and live here to stay without paying and lots of paperwork and trips to immigration.
Exactly !!!
@@David99123 it gets old, just let us live in peace and continue to contribute to the economy and society in peace.
I guess that's a good thing, because the US Supreme Court just ruled that Americans do not have the right to bring their foreign spouses back to the United States.

It's not attractive without the ability to purchase a house.
Exactly. With such policy, you don't attract folks who could afford to buy a home or farm.
Live with locals, so that they will provide you home not house.
@@SetFree-l4m Not everyone wants to live in someone else’s house.
My wife owns a nice little house, which we renovated a couple of years ago. It's the one she grew up in. Love it. No need for me to own half of it.

To get out is another
Thank you.
The Philippines needs to step up to 2 months visa free like Thailand...
Step up? Step down to Thailand yes . Right now it’s up to three years visa free in the Philippines . Not good enough ? And that’s what changing … more control , less flexibility
its always complicated - nobody fully understand those laws
ha ha that's why its called Philippines LAW
Oh you think those laws are bad? Try figuring out the US tax laws if you own property there and earn over there.
The Philippines needs me way more than I need it. I have zero interest in getting anything more than what I currently have. Being married to my wife gives me a year if we travel together. That more than I can take.
That's what you think. You're just a piece of sheeet to us .
Philippines don't like foreigners in their country. I've arrived there on 14th June 2024 but was blocked at the Manila airport during seven days. I don't really know why! Many nationalities (Chinese, Canadian, ghanean, Cameroonian...)was in the same situation . This immigration is so wicked.
its too complicated.
That's by design
Exactly. I'd love to live and spend my money in the Philippines instead of the West, but if I can only buy a farm in my wife's name, I am not doing it.
hi, would i qualify as a first preference quota immigrant? I'm an australian citizen, a retired podiatrist (foot doctor) and a professional musician and private music teacher. What do you think? I'm no longer working as a podiatrist but i am still a performing musician and still teaching private students. I don't know if that would satisfy their requirements for education and ability in the arts?
You can apply for it aslong you have a good faith to have a residency in my country.
That would qualify you as a professional musician and music teacher.
Philippine govt now will track foreigners flying in. You have to now register with E-travel with an upload photo of yourself, 2nd you have to register your sim card. After 9 yrs I will no long go to the Philippines.
Thank you for watching!
Who cares about you
The Philippines thanks you for NOT ever coming back , much appreciated
Whats wrong with being tracked here? America does it to immigrants as well as its own citizens. Cell phones are registered to the owners in the US, even burner phones record the purchase and it tends to be caught on store cameras as well. Yall act like the Philippines is doing anything worse than your own countries do.... How about stopping these practices in your countries before complaining about them being implemented over here. No one forces you to visit the Philippines... And trust, when you stop visiting, the Philippines will survive....
Thank you, and that's okay Ph is too crowded already, go in where you think you are wanted.
What about current holders of the SRRV Visa?
I don’t think there are changes…
That is applicable only to the new applicant,
Need More Foreigner More Money Simple, Expect More Tax😅😅😅
Howe can I find out what the quota for foreigners are. I am Dutch (Netherlands) and I would like to apply for a permanent visa. SRRV was impossible, because the Dutch government refused to cooperate.
Other than a police report would you need from your government? And even the police report isn't necessary if you have lived in the Phillipines for a certain amount of time, in which case you would get clearance from the barangay and NBI.
That simple
If you really want to have a permanent residency
1. Live with locals,follow cultural diversities of each island as tourist.
2. Adopt the culture of Filipino
3. Let the locals choose you in the first instance.
4.local people is the best way to help you get a residency.
@@airandyle Thanks for the advice. I already do like that. I honor the Filippino way of "share your blessing"
It's very confusing just wanted to know if I am allowed to retired in the Philippines since I become a us citizen.cause I'm not planning to get a dual citizenship.
You can get either an SRRV or a 13G visa (permanent resident visa for former Filipinos) if you want to stay in the Philippines on a long term basis without re-acquiring Filipino citizenship.
Sana meron tagalog version
Tulad ng kay the eaton squad. Thanks
What about retired foreigners wanting to live in the philippines ? -- what are the requirements to apply for a permanent residence ?????
The SRRV visa in the Philippines is the way to go. If you are a US veteran it's a $1,500 deposit in a bank here and then some clearance paperwork and show a basic monthly income. If not a veteran it's a $10,000 deposit.
@@kanointhephilippines8082 $10,000 dollar deposit !! are you kidding me ?? I would need to buy a lottery ticket first and hope for the best
Come and live with locals
coming to get residency is not an overnight approach.
A Good Business Attorney in the Philippines can explain to you how it's possible.
Ma'am ask lngpo paano kung may case ka before at ngayun ng probition ka makakalis din Po ba?
Thank you , clear as mud . god bless
How about SRRV visa ? Please give me ideas how what where to get it. Thanks Jocelyn!
Philippines retirement authority. It's a long process but worth it
I got my SRRV through the PRA office in Makati.
Got my srrv , it is a long process but worth it .
Thank you very much !
You are welcome!
What type of visa can a foreign adult who's an in law to a Filipino apply for?
I wish the US would set up an immigration system like the phillipines
I'd be happy if they just sealed the border!
Do you see any advantage to converting an SRRV to the proposed in-quota immigrant visa, if qualified?
One of the best people in the world man from Jamaica 🇯🇲 jah.love ❤❤❤❤❤
VERY GOOD!!!...NOW WE CAN OPENLY WITHOUT TROUBLE BRING IN MORE POGO RESIDENTS AND HAVE MORE chinese intsikwa infiltrators..anyway they are paying!!???😢😢😢😢
Philippines should be tightening up on immigration to be honest as the Western world will be all trying to get there within the next 10-20 years.
How so?
@matthiasherfert1342 well westerners are being forced out of their own countries, so the philippines should be careful as its such a beautiful country at present.
@@655superblues Wow. Thank you. Could Westeners defend their countries?
@ahnonymuz9921 yep
@ahnonymuz9921 Why do Westeners allow it to their countries? Do they know what's happening?
Your videos could be made more useful if you would actually listen and then respond to questions your listeners. Take the feedback seriously! People usually are not critical of what you say. Many times they just want a little more explanation. Don't just read the law. We all can read. Do a little research to see who the majority of your listeners are, then respond to that audience.
Thank you for your feedback. I have 600 plus videos in this channel and cannot possibly respond to all comments in each one of them. Most of the answers are already found in my videos and if there are any confusion, it is because most Philippine regulations that are new or upcoming will be subject to interpretation once implemented.
It only takes 5 minutes to reply to some questions for each video posted.
MY WIFE is a natural born Philippine citizen, we were married in Cebu by a Judge at the courthouse. my wife and our 6 year old child are both DUAL CITIZENS. if my wife and i leave Philippines for just 1 day and re enter together, i get a NO COST BALIKBYAN VISA good for 365 days.
my wife supports us as my social security is less than $400 per month. so why would i desire to immigrate to Philippines?
Can I just go and stay there by renewing tourist visas still?
My wife is a Philippine citizen I am Australian.
We were married in 2008.
Our son was born in Manila 2009.
We had plans to move to Australia and obtained an Australian passport for him.
Plans changed and we stayed here. His passport is unstamped and has expired.
What is his status?
He is now a young man and I'm worried our actions will cause him problems in the future.
Hello po maam magtanong ako.kung puede ba ako makauwi sa philippines iyong green card ko 2 yrs expire nov 2025 tapos uuwi ako sa pinas january 2025 puede po ba iyon?thank you and god Bless you!tapos kong puede ilan months ang dapat para bumalik sa US
I’ll be applying for my SSRV in October. Plan to travel to Mexico in. December will I be allowed to entrance back in Philippines
Will the current law for balikbayan spousal visa stay the same? Spouse can travel with the filpino wife for up to one year.
Yes no change
Yes.
I'm half Filipino but look white and was born in the US and want to move to the Philippines just to return to Ophir the land of creation.
I am an American and. Have been a permanent resident since 1997. How will I be able to become an immigrant or Philippine citizen.
Most Filipinos want to leave Philippines due to huge corruption problems making people extremely poor. Unless you are a politician, you can’t make it in Philippines. Philippines should just be annexed by US since that’s what their citizens want. So retired Americans can stay in Philippines and young Filipinos can study and work in US.
Oh sure, replace one corruption with an even a bigger one. Thankfully, not everyone in the Phil thinks like you.
What will happen to SRRV program and applicants?
Meron naman additional source of under the table income opportunity.
So, this video is for people who are applying for a "new" resident visa, and not for the ones who "already have" a resident visa and just want to extend their 13A visa, for example. Correct?
That is correct. The law has prospective application unless there is a provision that the law will be applied retroactively.
So can I become a permanent resident of Philippines if I’m American but my children are Filipino citizens and living in Philippines 🇵🇭 ?
Yes you can,
Simple as that, you have a marriage contract with your wife.
OK thanks question married philipina , living here 4 years, 12 month balicbian visa, with reset on leaving and returning with wife at airport customs booth she is was born in PH, I am uk citizen.
Any changes, to above also my visa expires November 2024 But my wife will be ( unable to return as working in UK due to employment contract ) November dead line , so what the correct legal process please
The re-entry permit. So for example, if I were living in the Philippines with my wife and I have a 13A non-quota residence visa, do I need to secure a re-entry permit before I go abroad on holiday?
No, i have a 13A Visa, must go sometimes back to my Contry. In 2022 i was for 2 times and in 2023 for 3 times outside of the Philippines. No problem, but you must pay a travelling-fee, if you leave the Philippines.
@@KlausPhilippines Ok, thanks, that's good news. I wonder who it applies to then, the re-entry permit being discussed at 7:25. I remember I once had a 1 year visa for the Philippines and immigration at Manila airport gave me a bit of a telling off when I departed. They told me I should have cancelled the visa. I don't know why.
Did not hear mention of language requirement, age limits, income requirements, preference for ethnicity (such as Asian or ASEAN member). Taxes would probably be a whole nother video.
This is bad for local pilipino it caused price hikes!!! Too much foreigners has bad effects in our country!!! Be strict Philippines immigration please!!!
My wife is originally for Philippines but living in the us with me. She just got her us citizenship and we are currently working on her having her dual citizenship. My question if I wanted to get a Philippine residency, would I need to move there or be there a certain amounting time there each year?
