Or are you a former Filipino citizen who is now a naturalized citizen in a foreign country and who desires to retire in the Philippines without re-acquiring your Philippine citizenship? In short, you simply want to avoid the possible complication of having a dual citizenship but still you are looking forward to spending more time in the Philippines or even the rest of your life in the Philippines. Perhaps, the SRRV or the Special Resident Retiree’s Visa is the right one for you! The Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV) is a special non-immigrant visa that entitles the holder to reside in the Philippines indefinitely with multiple entry and exit privileges. It is separate and distinct from the existing visa categories defined by the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940, as amended, and allied laws. This visa is for foreign nationals who would like to make the Philippines their second home or investment destination. SRRV is still issued by the Bureau of Immigration, but this one is being implemented through the Philippine Retirement Authority or PRA. You might wonder why the PRA? And what is the PRA? PRA or the Philippine Retirement Authority is a government-owned-and-controlled corporation attached to the Department of Tourism. It was created way back in 1985 through Executive Order No. 1037 issued by the late President Marcos. Its is mandated to attract foreign nationals and former Filipino citizens to make Philippines as their retirement destination. It was subsequently attached to the Board of Investments and now, it is attached to the Department of Tourism. So please take note: PRA is the only agency that accepts and processes SRRV applications. Although there are accredited marketers whom you may approach to help you in your application. The list of these accredited marketers is found in the official website of the PRA. 1. The SRRV Courtesy is for: former Filipinos, who are 50 years old & above; and foreign nationals, who are 50 years old & above, and who are retired officers of International Organizations recognized by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). These include those foreign nationals who have served in the Philippines as diplomats, ambassadors, officers or staff of the international Organizations recognized by the DFA, such as the United Nations and the Asian Development Bank. This type of SRR Visa requires a visa deposit of US$1,500.00. The SRRV Expanded Courtesy is for foreign nationals, 50 years old & above, who are retired Armed Force officers of foreign countries with existing military ties and/or agreement with the Philippine Government.
Wow, excellent video. The most easily understood presentation of visas that I've ever seen in my two years of research.
One of the best explanations of the SRRV that I’ve seen
An excellent explanation of the SSRVisa and a must see for those who want clarification on this visa. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you this crystal clear explanation video 🙏🏻
Thank you so much Atty for your information that you given us it’s really a big help . God bless you .🙏😇
Thank you for the clear and concise explanation
Thank you, Atty for your vlogs very nformative and helpful. More power ❤
Thank you.I chanced upon your video today.
Thank you so much..Sir...very informative
Excellent presentation. Liked, subscribed, and rang that bell.
Thanks that was valuable information.
Thank you so much for your time enjoy your day 😊
very good video. Lots of great information.
Thank you for being so clear.
Very clear explanation, thanks for the great information's!
Thanks for the information
Thanks n God, bless forever 🙏 ❤
Good information for me to spend my retirement days with my daughter....
Thanks for doing this video in English 😊
Thanks for your explanation of SRRV eligibility requirements. I got mine over ten years ago and went in-out of PI in Sep 2022. Following are some points for others to ponder:
1- PI government banned the PI entry of foreigners in March 2020, including SRRV holders. Entry was allowed beginning about Feb 2022, but with conditions, such as PRA permission, covid vaccinations, covid testing 1-3 days before arrival, etc.
2- New entry rule for SRRV is providing a copy of passport entry stamp made by airport's Immigration Officer. 3- New exit rule for SRRV is to apply for a PRA's Travel Pass to show the airport's Immigration Officer. 4- Cost of SRRV application totals under US $1,500 to PRA, health clinic for exam, and police for record check. Added cost paid to police if your name is similar to somebody else. 5- Cost to transfer visa from old passport to new passport requires 30 calendar working days and a fee may be levied. Otherwise, carry two passports. 6- Annual cost for SRRV membership, evidenced by dated membership card. $10 yearly for those with US $20,000 deposited at approved banks. Higher annual cost for others. Airline agents and Immigration officers asked for both visa and membership card.
7- PRA office, Makati, is opened M-F, but Friday is by appointment only. PRA's cashier closes earlier, 3pm.
8- No way to communicate with other SRRV holders through PRA web site.
9- When in PI, airlines want to see your passport to check if you must pay a travel tax if you will be in PI more than 12 months when you want to fly out. Online buy? PI airlines rejected my credit card issued by US bank.
10- PI bank was slow to provide me an annual report of interest earned on my US $20,000 deposit, so that I was not able to report it accurately (in lieu of my estimate) to US tax authority. Note: interest earning paid to PI gov. is not reported to me.
So you left phillipines?
I travelled out the country to USA November 2021 on my SRRV and back to the Philippines a few weeks later and had to Quarantine for a week. As a foreigner with SRRV I had no issues travelling out and in the Philippines back then.
@@BearInThePhillipines Since PI government banned foreigners in March 2020 from entry into PI, I rented a condo in Thailand. So, I will travel to PI when I can.
@@gustdewill5196 how is life in Thailand even know language barrier? How do you feel each morning you wake up? Thanks for info. I just retired trying to figure out options
@@jonrend How old are you? I'm looking to get my SRRV when I turn 35 with a deposit .. What's the best way to get the process going and how did the money transfer go?
Thank you sa info ❤️
Thanks for the info
My Filipina wife and I plan to retire in the Philippines after our children are grown and move out. We have about 21 more years till then. But till then we appreciate the info.
Good morning sir...my heartfelt thanks to you...from Singapore...my intention is to stay in PH. I have lost both my parents whom im was taking care since 2011. My girlfriend who is a Filipina...was looking after them until their death...she went back n now im looking after her n her parents.
Wishing all the best for you. Stay safe.
I spent years in the Philippines after i retired in California....i spent millions of pesos in supporting Philippine economy...i love the Philippines and its people...i wonder if i choose to retire in the Philippines if the Philippine government would give me some credit for the 10 or 15 times i visited the Philippines....i would love to retire in the Philippines.
Thank you the wonderful information on retiring in the Philippines.
Very informative! I am an honorably retired US Army veteran, engaged to a Filipina. We are looking into the respective visas needed for both of us to be able to live in both countries. I am also seriously considering obtaining Philippines citizenship once all requirèments are met. It looks like your video has answered most of my questions! It looks like I will be going with the 13A.
Plus as a US veteran you can be buried for free at Clark Veteran cemetary . When you get to phillipines visit the American WW2 cemetary in manila
@@BearInThePhillipines The rules on this may have changed. Back in 2007, burial was handled by VA post in Angeles City. Later, responsibility for the cemetery was transferred by US Government to the PI government. No one at the VA post during the day of my visit about 2010 could inform me on the current rules for burial or cremation with ashes disposition. I was going to follow up, but have procrastinated. Rules in 2007 involved death certificate by certain local authority, fees for a funeral home, DD 214 on file, etc.
If a dual citizen does not use the Philippine passport to depart, does that exempt one from the required travel tax for Filipino nationals?
@@BearInThePhillipines my fiancèe and I have talked about future funeral arrangements for when we are both gone. Her family owns quite a bit of land outside her home town, including their own family cemetery. We have decided we want to be buried together there.
@@williamsaltiel-gracianmph613 I can respect that. As for me bury with my brothers in veteran cemetary clsrk air base and bury me face down so communist can kiss my a$$
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video in English. This is the best one I've seen. My only question is, if I come in as a healthy senior and get a SRRV Classic, when/if I later become ill and need to go into a care home there in the PH, is my SRRV Classic still all I need? Or would I have to then get the SRRV Human Touch? I ask, because my SSA retirement is not large enough to qualify for the Human Touch visa. Thank you! By the way, where are you located?
Great
Please send me WhatsApp number

Good food for thought. I fall in a lot of those categories you mentioned. I was born in the Philippines, whose parents were former Philippino Citizens, retired as a U.S. Army Officer, married to a former Philippino Citizen. I do plan on visiting the Philippines more often and stay longer than 30 days. I am told that, by my side of family, that there is property set aside for me in the Philippines. Which Visa should I get or should I become a dual citizen? Can I be a dual citizen ? Thank you for doing this video.
@cesar - were your parents Filipino citizens when you were born? If yes, then you're eligible for dual citizenship. If not, then you can apply for the SRRV expanded courtesy (ex military).
This indeed is a very enlightening video. Thanks so much for sharing. Pero ang gusto ko pong malaman kung ano ang pakakaiba ng SRRV sa 13 visa. Ako ho ay isang retiree na Balikbayan.

I will be retiring in the Philippines in about 7 years 😂😂❤
If you are a US veteran the deposit in the bank is much less 1500$. Tourist visa can be extended up to 3 years,
Not any more unless your married
@@timothynorris8529 Please better explain.
@@timothynorris8529you can't get a 3 year visa anymore?
I thought so also. Unfortunately, though this video was very thorough, it did not cover the US or foreign military veteran status, rather only the military retiree status, which are different and distinct statuses.
Done subscribe 👍
YES I AM INTERESTED TO RETIRE IN THE PHILIPPINES
I would for sure contact your office
Thank you for today's visa
I'm going to try and get my 13a
I have heard that the PHILIPPINES SRRV 🇵🇭 VISA dealing American Military 🪖 applies to all military 🪖 veterans 🇺🇸 🪖 who have served 🎖 Honorable service with American Military 🪖. I was stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines 🇵🇭 back in 1991. Thank you for this information.
What about Canadian army veterans
Thank you for this video! For proof of income, can a guaranteed lifetime annuity be used? Or is only social security or pension accepted?
Hello. Wanted to know more about the SRRV Expanded Courtesy. I am a U.S. Navy retired and planning on traveling more to our home country and spending more time there without the limited stay requirement. Thank you for your time and advise in this matter.
See info at pra gov ph. If you're a forner Filipino citizen, you can also apply for dual citizenship (I don't know if that's allowed since you're former military) or you can apply for permanent residency (13G visa). Info at Immigration gov ph.
(I'm your new subscriber!) Atty., can you explain regarding property? Years ago, if you owned a lot and built a house before in the Philippines while you were still single and a Philippine citizen. That said property was intended for the aging parents for their residence. Now that you are living in US as a US citizen, married, and have one child. Now both parents passed away, can you "rebuild" or "reconstruct" the house without a problem? What are the requirements?
Yes, you can. Being a former natural-born Filipino citizen, you are still allowed to own a residential land in the Philippines. In fact, you did not lose ownership of that house and lot when you acquired a foreign citizenship. This is recognized by BP 185. As to the reconstruction, you need to observe the requirement of permit from the office building official of the locality.
I am a former Navy vet, I am planning a trip to Makati for six months. I also offer Expats tax servides.
Hello. The explanation of ssrv is excellent but I still have a question that wasn't answered there. I am a sss pensioner in the US. I have read some articles that say that the pension would be stopped if the pensioner stayed out of the US for over six months. My question is, would the SSR visa guarantee that my pension would not be stopped for staying out of the US longer than six months? Thanks a lot for anybody who would answer this.
Hello Atty. Question po 🙋🏻♀️:
Paano po kung si A hindi nagchange ng status abroad after niya ikasal sa pinas, (single pa rin siya) then naging citizen na saibang bansa, did not claim dual citizenship and re-married in the foreign country? what can happen? estranged na sila ni B na nasa pinas for ilang years.
Thank you this video.
I have a small question.
I am sri Lankan
I got US citizenship about few weeks ago. I have small doubt. Is good idea for retention Sri Lankan citizenship?
What are advantage and disadvantages? I have small property in Sri Lanka. If cancel Sri Lankan citizenship , is some problem from Sri Lankan government.
Also what are the disadvantages from US government in dual citizenship?
Please reply this , thank you
Thank you for putting together this video. I was born in the Philippines and a naturalized US citizen. I plan to divide my time between the US and the Philippines in 5 years. Not warming up for dual citizenship yet. Will the 13g visa be my best option? Thanks for your answer in advance.
Yes, 13G is your best option if you don't want to be a dual citizen.
I have the ability to become a dual US and Philippine citizen. May I ask, what is your hesitation for becoming a dual citizen? I hesitate because should something tragic happen while I’m in the Philippines (for example war) I would like to have the U.S. help me leave but I don’t know how they would treat me if I am also a Philippine citizen.
I came ready to apply for a SRRV Courtesy for $1500 USD but then I saw a requirement of $1499 handling fee and thought it was a scam. I had my papers all notorized and Apostille but I could never find out what was needed for the medical which they said could be done in the US since my insurance would pay for it I will visit their office in Cebu before I leave next month. Maybe next visit I might apply.
I applied for SRRV in 2007 at the Makati office. The fee paid to PRA was around $1200 and included the fee for the health clinic. I paid a separate fee to PNP police, who had a desk at the SRRV office. But, when the police confused my name with someone with a similar name in their records, I had to go to PNP headquarters in the city of Manila, sign an affidavit that he was not me, swear an oath on telling the truth etc, pay a fee, etc. Police fees totaled several hundreds of pesos. Then there was the wait of several weeks for the return of my passport. Note that was 2007 and Manila-Makati.
good luck....I hope processing is not slow..
Good afternoon from Antwerp Belgium? Sir, kailan ko ba mag deposit as senior lang to retire to the Philippines?At magkano po . Maraming salamat sa sagot . Thanks sa mga information.❤
Excellent info, thank you. Quick question: Does one need to visit Philippines to obtain SRRV Visa or one can obtain with the help of Embassy or Consulate of his country of residence. Kindly throw some light
I have had SRRV for 10 years. Has served me well and enabled me to work in the Philippines although you still need an Alien Employment Permit. The one thing I complain about it the yearly $365 renewal fee. Also, I think it would be cool if they awarded you permenant residency after 10 years.
He didn't discuss the annual fee. That is expensive.
@@kuneho3708he did
Dont complained, $365 is cheap. You are kuripot, go home.
Not sure if the SRRV requirements have changed since I obtained mine, the the Expanded Courtesy was allowed for military veterans (not retired military) who could show proof of an Honarable Discharge.
So you can put 10k USD down on a condo that's over a certain price then you can get ssrv visa thanks for the information
Salamat interesting, rather confusing, when a Filipino comes to the UK and wants to be a British citizen it is very straight forward, even to extend a visa for 5 years, very straight forward, we would never try to bond people for money in different stages, that would be considered as RACIST. when a Filipino in the UK wants to buy a FREEHOLD property etc etc we would never say sorry has to be 60/40% and the British/English person will own 60% and you a foreigner can only own 40$% despite you paying 100% Hu hard luck Talaga , this is a the Filipino protectionism short sighted law you currently have, that once again in 97% of Western countries is against the law and classed as RACIST towards a foreign person, when will the Filipino Government come into this CENTURY?..ingat
This restriction on foreign ownership is enshrined in the Constitution. Unlike a legislation which can be changed by Congress at anytime, a constitutional change or amendment is truly an uphill challenge. Thus far, not a single administration has succeeded since the 1987 Constitution.
@@YourLawyerSalamat Po for the letter back, Then the current and previous governments are not fit for purpose simple lang, I was a senior lecturer in China and Korea on Business English and life skills for many years, and worked also for the UN on human rights, and the British government, I have lived on and off in the Philippines since 1987 as Marshall law was being lifted, I know your country better than you think, I set up a British charity in Cebu for poor and homeless children, we even videoed Filipinos coming out of church on a Sunday after being blessed and listing to the bible readings of charity and mercy , then walking straight by homelessly children asking them for money or food, of course they pretended to be on the cell phones and walked straight by. The hypocrisy there is simply jaw dropping, the Filipino people deserve better, but that is a forlorn distant hope, do not get me wrong I like the Filipino people my son 31 is half Filipino, but here is the BUT I will not be SPUN with political statements words that define political weakness and corruption, I was educated in London and hold 2 BA master degrees from the London university, but I have a caring heart, I will once again help the poor and homeless children there, I am back in the UK as I got cheated badly by a Pinay who I trusted BASTOS me I know ( I SHALL RETURN) ingat
that law sucks....60-40???kawawa ang foreigner pagniloko ng Filipino partners..
@@myrnahall6168 I agree and it does show under that Mabuhay smile the REAL Filipino attitude, we want you money but do not really want you so we will make laws that are outrageous in n0w 2023 that basically state exactly what we think of foreign people. hard luck our country we do as we please if you do not like it do not come here we have plenty of Stupid Koreans and Chinese who will go 60/40 but the Koreans and Chinese have a SPECIAL law deal concessions that other forefingers do not know about sshhhh on that one Sir...we are a crafty sneaky people he he ...Mabuhay..
@@YourLawyer It is in it's pure form Racist, these excuses that governments hide behind "legislation" etc etc thus making the constitution overtly RACIST and is not fit for purpose in 2023, all this is a staling tactic and were the same excuses the South African government apartheid system hid behind the exact same rhetoric, when a foreigner cannot buy legally land or property and business in there own name solely, that is counted as institutionalised racial segregation, it does not take a genius to have to come to that conclusion, I was a senior lecturer in China and Korea for many years, with master BA degrees from the London University...Racism comes in many forms and is just not a coloured allegation, it is a broad church of diverse events. the conclusion you have to come to is this, sometimes as humans when the evidence is so damming and overwhelming you have to put your hands up and say GUILTY as charged, or state/play the get out of jail card (well sorry you feel that way sir, BUT there you go our country, and a shoulder shake/nudge) with a he he or a ha ha ....Jesus wept, I rest my case.if your a lawyer you know what this means.. i requiem meam doleat.
Hi, Atty.Im a Canadian citizen now paano magdala ng malaking $ dollar to philippines?
I have an important question for you about the ssrv classic
I have watched your videos for a year now. Could you help me in getting a SRRV?
Why does the Philippines require a $1500 deposit on SRRV Courtesy Extended visa? Just like the standard SRRV needing to deposit $20k. Those deposits have always bugged me. The major benefit you get with an SRRV is multiple entry/exit and longer stay. 2 six month extensions cost me about $300+ per year up to 3 years. I go to Thailand for a small vacation and come back and extend another 3 years. With SRRV, initial costs, including deposit, is about $3k+. Am I missing something here towards the SRRV visa benefits and why they are better options?
There is no need to sugarcoat the SRRV. It was designed primarily to attract foreign investments and to strengthen the dollar reserves of the country. This intention was expressly stated in the Executive Order that created the Philippine Retirement System. While the system allows foreign nationals to retire indefinitely in the Philippines, it has to achieve its main purpose by requiring a minimum investment in the Philippines and that is in the form of a visa deposit, which in some cases can be converted to investments in Condominium, Long Term Lease or Golf Club. To make the retirement program more attractive, the PRA has designed some additional benefits to SRRV as I have discussed in the video. Stay safe. 😊
What are affordable housing choices you made for your 6 months each time?
me too i felt bug for this 1,500 $dollar deposit not all retiree have full pension like my auntie her pension is maximum only of 1k. I'm glad Your Lawyer help us to understand this SRRV .
Hellö Sir,,,i just want to ask something about SRRV Classic..its about active investment/long term lease of house and lot...is it applicable to any place here in the Philippines..i just want to know more clarifications about this . Thank you Sir,
Thank you for the advise. Are you a laww graduate from San Beda ?
He's a practicing lawyer
I believe for US Military Veterans (over 50), only a $1,500 US bank deposit is required for the The Expanded Courtesy SRRV - correct ?
Very expensive and somewhat complex and would be hard to find the high amounts of money for deposit !!! An be in contact with immigration and a lawyer !!! Before or at the beginning when starting out as a Tourist Visa !!! I am going to watch your Dual Citizenship Video next which I was wondering about just previously and learning just a little bit about !!!
Hello, my understanding about using your condo as a deposit for the SRRV is that the condo will be put under government control and if I die, my children will have a hard time getting the condo as inheritance.
Yes, that's correct. The govt is co-owner of your condo unit. If you're a former Filipino citizen and you don't want to be dual, the 13G visa (permanent residence) may be a better option.
Good Morning from Phil Atty, what if the SRRV holder died, what will happen to the Deposited ammount with PRA accredited bank? Thankyou, god bless
Good morning po. It will go to the heirs po as part of the estate of the SRRV holder.
Good afternoon from Antwerp Belgium? Sir, kailan ko ba mag deposit as senior lang to retire to the Philippines?At magkano po . Maraming salamat sa sagot . Thanks sa mga information.❤ 16:14
Question, is there a way a native born foreign nationals to re-activate an approved application for Filipino citizen but failed to get the certificate of Filipino citizens in 1998 ?
And be dual citizenship.
Thank you
Good video. I came to the Philippines in December 2016 as a retiree, with a steady pension, but on a Permanent Residence visa (ACR -I card). Is it possible to transfer to SRRV?
How about a retired USA Federal Government Employee? Non-Military or Non-Diplomat. Would they qualify
for the SRRV Courtesy?
Thank you po! very formative information. maraming salamat just move here with my hubby October 2023. where i can apply SSRV? i live in iloilo city. do we have here to apply SSRV visa
Maayong aga dira sa mga taga-Iloilo. 😊 You can find the PRA Office that is closest to you in their website:
pra.gov.ph/contact/
Nice informative video. Can i apply for the SRRV visa here in the USA before going to the Philippines to be able to stay there for more than thirty days?
You have to be in the Philippines to do the process. I've been doing my homework on it for quite some time now. I'll be headed to the Philippines next week. I understand the process takes 6 to 8 weeks.
@@RBV1962did you get the visa
Attorney. Why the government what to know how much money peoples have. That should nobody's business.
That is correct. It is important for the government to ensure that the retirees who are coming to the Philippines have the financial capacity to sustain their needs and not to be a burden to the Philippine government. Also, one reason why the Philippine government is promoting the Philippines as a retirement destination is to help the country’s economy through the dollar inflow.
I find the IRONY of countries like Philippines that do NOTHING for their people, that have NO practical social safety net in place and that let's a majority of its subjects languish in poverty... "prove financial stability". There is NO "burden" on the PH government if a foreigner goes broke or gets hurt...NONE (so that's a cop-out excuse).
They want people they can charge fees to...and to help prop up their artificial economy. It's typical government overreach.
I've supported a Filipina for a decade... and the paid for EVERYTHING she needed (she was in abject poverty and an orphan). And the government pretends like it OWNS HER, yet did NOTHING for her, EVER!... not even allowing her freedom to travel (unless I PAY through the nose)
....I hate government... ALL of em 🎯
i have questions, if foreign national married to a Filipina can the foreign national automatically be a Filipino citizen? if not ca he be able to apply as Filipino citizen without abandoning his other citizenship? if the foreign national also be married to a Filipina citizen,can the foreign national apply the ssrv?
meron po ba kayo comparison between srrv and permanent resident visa? is Philippines a territotial citizenship tax or citizenship base taxation on global income?
It’s already in the pipeline. 😊
Hi atty. My husband is retired British citizen & I am fil British citizen holder. Pls advice if SRRV would be applicable for us as we are planning to retire in Philippines.

Be carefull guys you can get the visas but the process will suck and dry up your pockets. After you get the visa its not like other countries, since everytime you exit the Philippines you need to pay exit fees, annual fees, security fees, etc. Which is the 1950's law. Which will add to your expenses and regret it. Also the foreign countries should have a reciprocal agreement to levy the same charges for exit purposes for Filipinos who have working and permanent visas, in Europe and the USA, which would be fair to all.
Attorney good day po. Ask ko lang po Ko LNG po paano po sakali na byuda ka tpos my dalawa PO akong anak sa asawa ko at gusto ko po sa Pilipinas manatili. Ang pension ba ng bata ang tuloy Parin po ba kaht soon na kme mag stay sa Pilipinas. Czech po asawa ko.
question: If the Principal applicant do not have dependent , does he have to pay $360 for his annual fee? Plus the first time payment of $1400 of course. Please answer this. Thanks so much for all the information Excellent!
Hi Atty. How about, an American married to a filipina and wanted to retire in the Philippines?
American citizen, 67 years old. I own a condo in Manila valued at more than 50k. Does that negate having to keep any amount of money in a Filipino bank?
Are you saying I would have to have been an officer in the US military to get an SRRV? I can't be just an enlisted veteran?
Any news on Visa for full time Retirement in Philippines 🇵🇭?
Best thing not come
Ask ko lang po. Kailangan tlagang mag deposite ng $10k US.? Tas di pwedeng gamitin while sa Pinas nakatira.? Even may hinuhulugang property dyan sa Pinas.
Hi the SRV expanded courtesy is it possible for retired military personnel, over 50 years of age, from the Brazilian armed forces (Army, Navy and Air Force)? .
Hi sir ako po ay may asawa na Discharged US army divorce sya at kami po ay nag pakasal civil at church d2 sa filipinas pero hnd po ako nya na apply for US kadahilan na wala po mag aalaga sa akong ina that time at hnd din po nya ako madala sa US kadahilan na kulang sya sa kayang supporting to carrying me there. Dahil wala syang permanit na trabaho Ngayon po sya ay namatay sa Guam. At ako po ay may nakuha sa US embassy ng burial $150 ngayon po ako ay 59 years old na ako po ba ay may nakukuha sa kayang Sss sa US. Doon din po sya niling. May anak po sya na dalawa is already married na kami po ay walang anak. Dahil ako po ay nakunan. So yun po.
I am not retired military but a disabled veteran USN, receiving a pension over $1500. Which VISA Applies?
Good afternoon from Antwerp Belgium? Sir, kailan ko ba mag deposit as senior lang to retire to the Philippines?At magkano po . Maraming salamat sa sagot . Thanks sa mga information.
Hi. Hindi nyo po kailangan ng deposit. Dual citizenship is allowed by Belgium, so pwede po kayo mag apply maging dual citizen (PH/ Belgium). As dual citizen, you can live forever in PH. Kung ayaw nyo po maging dual, pwede po kayo mag apply ng 13G visa para maging permanent resident ng Pinas. Pwede rin kayo mag retire sa Pinas non, pero may annual reporting sa Bureau of Immigration kc considered as foreigner pa rin kayo. Pag 13G, hindi po pwede kumuha ng senior citizen ID at di pwde sa senior benefits sa Pinss. Pag dual citizen, pwede kumuha ng senior ID at pwede sa benefits.
Blessed afternoon Atty., I'm an Honorably discharged veteran from the United States 🇺🇸 living in the Philippines 🇵🇭 5+ years married 4 years with 1 6 year old daughter. I'm 66 years of age never ever was told by immigration department that I needed to leave the country and return to the Philippines 🇵🇭 for any reason. I've been paying my ACR updates and Visa until the quarantine lock downs 2+ years ago and wasn't allowed to travel. Since the US military is here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 assisting Philippines military preparing for war conflicts I personally believe ex-military personnel should be exempt from all of these requirements for this SRRV PROGRAM. please help me to locate an Agency who can assist me with my application process in Cebu..thanks Atty. GBY!
Hi! You can drop me a message at www.simtimlaw.com.
For SRRV foreigners, what are requirements for re-entry and exit from Philippines ?
Dear sir, I'm married to a fillipina for 24 years . I'm 62 will be retired at 65.my spouse is already a Singapore citizen.wont want to spend too much money.tq
My husband was in WW2 with American military. We were planning to move from France to the Philippines. However he died January 2024. Do I apply under his visa or another one?
So once you get SRRV can you apply for a debit card.
TY! Is there a visa for children who have passed the age of 21 who have not left their parents yet?

How long does it take to get the retirement visa
Sir Attorney, is it really required to get a visa visiting Philippines even for just a short period of time? I'm a Canadian citizen po but Filipino at heart and mind 😊 thank u
If you are a former Filipino, you don’t need a visa. You can enter the Philippines visa-free. I discussed that in this video:

@@YourLawyer thank u po for the reply.
Good afternoon,
I have watched your two vlogs on srrv and the 13a visas, and I'm not sure which is best for me as yet. I have married a beautiful lady, last year, have brought land with her, the value of over 4M. If I apply for the srrv, do I still need a deposit of money into a bank account in trust, or does the money that I have spent in buying the land count for this?
Regards. John
