You are most welcome 🙂

No, retirement from the service is NOT required. A pension and a clean DD214 will give you the best SRRV option. Rules change frequently, so it is best to use an approved PRA Marketer to process your SRRV. I USED Jamss Biron. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck.

Be at least 35 and a visa deposit of $50000 USD. Rules change all the time, so please check with a Marketer for PRA or the one i used James Biron

@ 50kusd only deposit or can withdraw ? if the 50k frozen better to renew tourist visa every 59 days i giess ? what u think ?

@cedricmaltais4673 the 50k can be used to buy a home. Other than that it doesn't make too much monetary sense. I would just do border runs

Thanks for watching our videos. Let me know if you have other questions. Check out our other videos on the channel as well.

Yes, you can get an SRRV visa being from Canada. 1. Are you a veteran? 2. Do you have some sort of monthly pension? As far as your background you will need to consult with an approved Marketer. I would suggest James Biron. His contact info is on my videos.

@@johnandangie2024 no im not a veteran i have canadian pension plus a savings but like i said i have an old criminal record ,,can a still get a srrv

Yes, you can get an SRRV Classic. With a pension of at least $800 and a $10,000 USD deposit. I can not speak to your criminal background. This you will need to ask James Biron or another PRA approved Marketer.

I stayed for a bit. It was nothing, really. Just people standing around talking and there was a little bit of food handed out.

@ Thanks I wanted to travel for Christmas that’s why my questions.

@@johnandangie2024 thanks they called I got my Retirement Visa card and ID card. all went well.

It is for all veterans with an honorable discharge noted on the dd214. You will also need a pension of some sort. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching the channel.

Yes i am now 76 got my SSRV courtesy visa. And got married to my Philippine woman after ten years relationship.

Yes, you will need it apostilled. You will also need your pension apostilled if I remember correctly. Look fo an approved marketer to verify the process as it does change. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching the channel.

@@johnandangie2024 Thanks for the info. I looked for but couldn't find any agency that would apostille DD214s. Do you remember where or how you got your DD214 apostilled?

I used a notary in Newport Beach, California. Try to Google search a notary in your area and call them to see if they offer apostille services....not all do.

The notary actually prepares the apostille to be done at a government office. They will charge for this of course

@@johnandangie2024 I didn't think a notary was the same as an apostille. But if this is all that is needed I should be able to use any notary. Again, thanks for the info.

After living in Cebu for 1 year now, i would agree with your assessment. Thanks for watching, and let us know if there is other content you would like to see.

Thanks for watching. I use World Remit, Remitly, and Moneygram. Have several lined up before coming so you have options in case one becomes unavailable. Also, bring more than one debit card if you can and more than one credit card for the same reasons. Well, good luck and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

You can start the process but getting the card and swearing in is done in Manila

@johnandangie2024 Okay, thanks.

Yes, that is correct.

@@johnandangie2024 Do you have some legal protection if the land lord decide to play games and not return the money?

Make sure your contract states in detail the conditions of returning your deposit. I have gotten my deposit so far from one place and just gave notice at our current place. You can approach a lawyer with the contract if they do not hold up their end. Good luck

Hi thank you for watching our video🥰. And yes internet here is called “Wi-fi”. It is easy to set up the internet but it would cost more for foreigners (it could cost 20$-25$ more). PLDT is the most used internet service in the Philippines. 😊

To the person named in your will, if no will to then to your nearest kin.

Thanks for watching

The SRRV program recently changed . Only the Classic and Courtesy are currently available. Both require the applicant to be 50 years old or above. You can look into the Quota visa available. I would go through James Biron for this or another approved PRA Marketer. I, myself, am not familiar with this visa option. I do know, as the name implies, there are only a few issued each year

As changes happen, i will do another video. Good luck to you.

If you start thinking already about money not getting back, if that is your level of trust, then better don't go here anyway.

@@hansreynders6853 Why? Plus there is the process fee, that you will not get back. I do not rule it out, but im more leaning towards doing visa runs when im at that age and if these are the rules then.

@@heww3960 Your "why" indicates you didn't even read my comment. Processing fees are never paid back, wherever you are, that's the normal procedure because a service must be paid for. Visa runs are not a rule. Never been, never will. It's nothing but an opportunity one can implement as a result of the tourist visa rules.

@@hansreynders6853 Yes so why should i not go if i dont have a 100% trust in filipino authorities? That would seriously limit me where i can go if i have to have 100% trust in that countries authorities. I dont have it for my own countries either. I never said that the processing fees would be paid back, or question that at all, ofc it will not. I mention it as another bad thing with these visa, that since you pay so much upfront, both in processing fees and that you put money on their bank. So then you should not have to pay another 360 every year, which is almost as much as the regular tourist visa. I also never said that visa runs was the rule, I said "but im more leaning towards doing visa runs when im at that age and if these are the rules then.". There is no claim in that sentence that the visa runs is the rule. Since you accusing me of not reading, then maybe you should do a better job of reading yourself.

Younger than 50 can be done, but it will be a bigger deposit. Are you a veteran? Let me check for other options.

@@johnandangie2024 i have seen that you can apply srrv smile visa for $20000 from the age of 35 - 49 as of 2024, is it true is there any other option to apply srrv visa in less deposit if i am 39

I just checked the PRA web site and it appears the SRRV SMILE has been suspended. I would recommend contacting James Biron or the PRA directly for up to date information. James @ contact@bironlaw.com pra.gov.ph/SRRVisa

@@johnandangie2024 Is srrv classic available for 35 + for $50000 as of 2024 and what are the requirements if possible?

@@johnandangie2024 How can i deposit money outside from Philippines?

I plan on it

@@AnthonyDelaFuente-k8k virgin island, bantayan island po idol ☺️

You can find cheaper but the building will not offer the nice pool, excellent gym and laundry onsite. The Ayala area is expensive. The video is only representing what the cost is for the area and for a nicer unit

Thanks for watching 🙂

😁

​@@johnandangie2024 Did you do it?

😁

Before leaving your country, contact Jamea Biron for the SRRV. You will need your DD214 apostilled and whatever else he says you need. Once that is done, you could come over on the Balikbayan visa and implement your SRRV at any time because your paperwork would be ready to go. Its good to have choices. I highly recommend contacting James or another approved PRA Marketer before leaving. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching.

Ted, when I applied last year James's services were free. He now charges a minimal fee....im not sure how much. It is worth going through a trusted PRA Marketer. My SRRV went very smoothly.

The Marketers are paid by the PRA so his fees should be minimal

@@johnandangie2024 Do you know if the documents that need apostille can be done at the embassy or do they need processed in the US? I will consider hiring James, I'm just not sure if there will be any issues since I live in Davao and he is in Manila. Thanks for all of your helpful info. It is much appreciated.

Ted, so sorry it appears I missed a reply here. Were you able to take care of everything? Did you get all of your questions answered? My email is thetraveler2024@gmail.com if you need direct communication.

Thats GREAT. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Hahaha

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for watching! We are glad you have enjoyed our content. We hope to keep improving. 🙂

Hello there. Angie here, as a filipina I observed how it was. YOU also MUST UNDERSTAND that we're not that insensitive. Me and John literally experienced it hundreds of times, whereas every staff member was just standing and just chit-chatting. We wouldn't post/include some clips if we haven't experienced it first hand. Anyways, thanks for helping the algorithm of our youtube channel. 🤪🥰

Yup, FB, YT, TicToc,

Thank you so much🥰. For the skits, John was the brains for that😝. We appreciate you for supporting our channel🥰

That waiter in the video is underpaid🤣

Yep

Hahaha

@@johnandangie2024 😁

Good morning Billy, John here. For me, I would rent. The units have no storage, are a bit far from shopping as you stated, and typically condo buildings are not well maintained here in the Philippines. 10 years down the road, your investment may not look the same

In addition, they seem overpriced for the area. If i were to buy, I think BGC in Manila is a better value or Rockwell Center Makati.

Hello! Angie here 😊. Thanks for watching our videos. I appreciate the lovely message.
