Hello Jennifer and glad you are doing well! Thank you for sharing all of your up to date videos and hope your continued success! Have a blessed day! JC
Please don't worry about how long your videos are. They are always full of good information, and that's what matters if it takes a long time to tell us a lot of things then, by all means, take your time.
We depend on your excellent explanations on updates, Jennifer. I would be interested in a video about the meaning of real estate pricing that is posted when condos or houses are put up for sale. I just don't understand the terms. Thank you, Jennifer.
I chose to stay with the tourist visa rather than a retirement visa. The reason being that the retirement visa requires you to put 10 K USD (appoximately 15 K Cdn) in a Philippine bank and the only thing you can use it for is a down payment on a condo. That money is locked unless you change or visa or you are leaving the country and not returning. That is a large part of my saving and it is better left in my bank account in case of an emergency. In my late 60's I have no desire to buy a condo that I would have to make monthly payments to the bank and condo fees. I have no idea the exact amount that would be per month but I know it would be much higher than the rent I am paying here. One never knows when your time is up on this planet so I intend to keep my money for things I want to do and not leave it to a Philippine bank in the event of my untimely demise
I have been waiting since September for my 13A amendment order to be implemented, fortunately my local BI office was able to get the ACR card number so I could do the annual report.
Is it any wonder why the philippines' economy is so bad. This is why so many foreigners are leaving the philippines. It's all about paying more money to stay longer. So many foreigners are packing up and going to Thailand and Cambodia Mexico, etc, where it works out overall better on costs. Also better healthier food and hospitals in thailand. The Philippines government won't boost their economy by making it more difficult for foriegners to stay there long term. It will only distract foreigners from visiting and staying there that boost there economy.
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your always helpful and enjoyable videos! 👍😊 One note though. You mentioned the annual reporting period is from Jan 1 to March 1, and you said that’s 3 months. If I’m not mistaken, that’s only 2 months…🤔
Again an excellent upoload Jennifer...hoping we (UK) can extend a 30 day tourist stay with an extra 30 days online visa to stay 60 days without visiting the B I.
Awesome Information, Thank you so much, as a soon holder of 13A I was very worried about the Annual Report, because I may or not may be in the Philippines as I am travelling between my Country and the Philippines. what will happen if I am not able to show up to the Annual Report at time when I am working and stay in my Country at that time.
I had an ACR-I card, but then we went on a trip to New York for a couple of weeks. Of course coming back I was once again on Balikbayan status. My wife says that once I left the country, my ACR-I card was no longer valid. Is this true or should I be going to report?
The online reporting has 1 potential personal security flaw "I heard". While waiting online in the "green room" you are with 30 other people and they can see your full name.
I'm retired from USA I live here for 3 years I use to get my visa in like 30 minutes now I have to pay an extra 1 k to get the visa the same day I live in batangas city there r like 15 employee at the office I never see more than 6 costumes at the time
I think Duterte’s admin authorized those additional fees, but each office decides whether to collect it or not. I heard not all offices do, just something to check out.
Hi Jenifer there is no 6 month extension visa now. The maximum is 2 months. 2 years ago it was 6 months. I'm from Poland maybe people from others countries still have 6months extension
Some people stay on tourist visa for 10 years because there is no other visa they can get. I still have 7 more years before I'm old enough to get SRRV. So until then it's consecutive 3 year 9A visas. If the BI wants me to get a different visa, they need to offer one.
They do offer one, you just need to deposit $20k USD into an approved Philippines bank account. You could then use that amount in the purchase of a condo here. If you’re under 50 years of age there’s an even more expensive option; the investment visa. So there are options for those not yet at retirement age. They are just not the most attractive options.
I do feel for you on that. The SRRV is only for individuals aged 50 and above. Other types of long-term visas require you to establish a business here, invest $75,000, or work locally. A foreign national with a remote job or consistent income from overseas is pretty much stuck on a tourist visa. We really should expand our visa options.
I'm told 30 days to process my retirement srrv in manila and they keep my passport as part of agency process.my question is if it takes longer how can I apply for my tourist extension to allow process with out my passport,can I use online to get extension.im from ireland
Because i was coming to get my srrv in 2018 i was allowed to get the 29 day extension before I left Australia so i had a 59 day visa before i came here and everything went smoothly. Good luck with your visa
When I applied in 2022 my facilitator submitted the extension to Immigration. I paid him the visa extension fee and he did the leg work. That’s why you pay them the $1400 fee. To facilitate…
Thank you so much as always for your updates Ma'am. One thing you can always count on is things will change. Do you have any info on how a foreigner with visa are able to renew their passport without returning to the USA?
I have a. 13 A visa.. I tried to do my annual report online.. BI . They did send back an email.. All I can say never worked.. Try this everyday for a week.. Finally did a walking for annual report.. And online in your report.. You Will be paying 810 PhP... If you do a walking , it will cost 310 PhP..
Does this have anything to do with my ACR-I card ? I am now in the USA and will come back in June. Where do I do this to file my report if I in the USA ?
When you get back to the Philippines, you will have to go to the BI office to do the annual check in, with your ACR card and passport, and pay the fee plus a fine. The fine is 200 peso/month, but no more the 2000 peso in a year, I'm also going to be late filing.
@@1951Ford I can only speak from myself..l do 13 A visa. About 6 years ago.. I did leave the . Just before christmas..To the USA.. I did get back to the philippines.. First week in August.. I did go to the main office of Bureau Immigration.. in Manila.. Within two weeks.. Yes , I had a paved my annual report.. With no extra fees.. Because of the stamps in my USA passport.. Remember this was about 5 years ago.. Who knows If the philippine laws change sense then 😅😂😅
Do you have to be away from Philippines for one year to avail of the balikbayan visa upon arrival? Or you can get it every time you come regardless of length time away from Philippines. THANKS
You can get it every time you arrive if you are a former filipino. If you are not you must arrive with your Filipino spouse. There is no time limit. You can come and go freely.
My end of year Tourist Visa extension, required 300 pesos for the Annual Report. I was confused as I was on a Tourist Visa, and I was told I had to just pay the 300 pesos because my stay has been over 1 year. I think the BI is just trying to pocket another 300 pesos from tourists. Getting sick of the BI consistent getting into our short with additional fees.
I will just have to stay on tourist visa, don’t have 10,000 to put in a bank. Wish it was another way. I’m 73 and will just continue my tourist visa. This is my 3 year, so I need to leave before October.
Hi Jennifer,I’m former Pilipino citizen how to apply balikbayan privilege?foreign passport hindi pa ako nag apply ng dual citizen gusto magbakasyon ng 2months. Salamat sa sagot
You need an expired passport, or an original birth certificate. Just arrive and present your proof of former Filipino citizenship and ask for balikbayan privilege.
Hey Jennifer..I just returned to Philippines on December 15. Went to bi on 5 Jan... Only 29 days sir....I have to return to bi. Again before 8 Feb.... The reviews of why you extend is stressful.... Trying to find out what is going to pass reviews..lol I just put my dream plans.like going to Palawan or Bohol...I just get test anxiety... I don't know the answer!! Sweating the whole process.. Best Regards Smitty Metro Cebu Philippines
No need to stress. You need to go in person for the next extension so you can also get the ACR/I card (needed if you are staying longer than 59 days). If your plan and intent is to enjoy more tourism you will have zero issues with the next extension.
Jennifer, Being a US foreigner, If I use the balikbayan privilege upon entrance to the Philippines with my wife, in which we plan she will have her dual citizenship by that time of entry, could a new balikbayan visa be issued or a previous one be renewed or extendid if we plan to go back and forth a few years before applying for a military srrv. Does that make sense? At some point I'd probably just get the srv, but starting out, if the baliknayan visa can just start over a second or multiple times like a tourist visa, that might be an advantage to a family trying to start out in the Philippines. What do you say, Jennifer?
It doesn't matter if she is a dual citizen or not. As long as you arrive together you can get the balikbayan privilege as often as you like. Come and go as you please!
Question: I am going to Philippines for a longer stay Should I tell the immigration upon arrival that I am staying for more than 30 days and get the extension visa up front ? Or Should I go to BI one week before my 30 days run out?
You need to meet the requirements of a tourist when you arrive, including an onward or return ticket within 30 days or they can deny entry to the country. Enter as a tourist, then do your first 29 day extension (that one is called a Visa Waiver) online.
If you are a dual citizen you can just go home. If you want to remain British only you can go home for a year as a balikbayan but to stay as a permanent resident you'll want something like the SRRV... See srrvguide.com to explore that option.
Im 27 and a content creator i make a good amount of money over 300k php a month. Im coming in june to stay with my girlfriend who also does stuff online. How does extensions work? I dont want to buy a 1400usd return ticket every month 😂
I never stay in the Philippines for more than 28 days. I'm not getting shook down 😆 besides who the heck wants to stay in the Philippines full time except old loser's 😆
I’m considering the SRRV as a good option. Given I have a good Retirement Income , over 50 yrs age ….is the PRA accredited bank deposit $10,000- and when does that have to be set-up ?? The website I looked at indicates $1400 application fee & annual $360- fee. Also, it states that the $10k needs to be transferred “in” prior to application. So I’m assuming you open a transaction account & then lodge the Bank “bond” if approved. Ask that how it works, and is it simple to open an account if you arrive as a tourist, as you would. ??
The SRRV Classic with Pension requires a 10k US visa deposit. It must be sent from a bank outside the Philippines to the PRA bank. You include a note saying it's to be held in trust for your SRRV (and your name and passport number). If you cancel they return it.
Before your first 30 days is up you can get the first 29 day extension (called a Visa waiver) online. The one after that is in-person because you'll need to get the ACR/I card
