There are options for younger people but much more money is required.....$50k. The laws could be changing soon. I will do another video if the rules change
It's a good recommendation to maintain your srrv visa even if you get married. It's important to keep control of your own destiny and as we know relationships can go sideways and she can really screw you up. Keep in mind that if you choose to invest your deposit that the purchase must exceed 50k and you will be required to have a lien on the property to cover the deposit. Military vets get a better deal which is good for them. For those of us on a pension you will need to put 10k in a deposit account through the PRA but should you need to bail out it will be nice to have that seed money to restart your life.
Thank you Sir for the feed back. I Plan on doing more informative videos to help other veterans such as myself. Let me know if there are any subjects you would like to see put out there.
@johnandangie2024 we do see so many videos of the tourist sites and very little of the real philippines. Travel videos off the beaten path and obscure places that are more affordable yet not to far from civilization lol . Many of the provinces do have smaller cities that have suitable hospitals and malls but aren't wall to wall people where you can still find decent places for a decent price. So many of the more popular places have skyrocketed in rental prices and just aren't feasible to live and enjoy your retirement. Camellia homes and other developers are building housing tracks all over the philippines.
The Philippines, upon first discovery, is like a bright shiny lure to a hungry fish, and we all know how that works out for the fish. I recommend spending a year in country before deciding to put up a lot of money for the SRRV. 🌴😎
Thanks John, very informative, however I plan to get married to my fiancée in the Philippines and I understand that will allow me to stay indefinitely . I am a NZ citizen. Cheers
The problem with srrv visa is that you need to be 50 years old or above to apply with $20000. Is there any option where a person can apply if he is 39 years old? if yes then how? Are the rules changing soon and easier or able to apply for people below 50
@@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
They consider a pension, to my understanding, a monthly paycheck for life by a government organization. So, Social Security should be accepted. You can verify this with a Marketer. I will update this reply if I find out something different. Thanks for watching the channel.
@@johnandangie2024 "They consider a pension, to my understanding, a monthly paycheck for life by a government organization." So a pension from a company isn't considered a pension? Next Spring I will start collecting two pensions from corporations I worked for.
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.
Not all have a fiancée. Also, the SRRV can be accomplished on your own. You can still marry a Filipina and your visa will not be based on her. The 13A is a good choice as well. Both have their own purpose.
I am currently 40 years old Can i apply srrv classic for $50000, if yes then what are the requirements. Can i attach 2 children only as dependent for $300 each without spouse
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
The renewal fee on 360 usd makes the whole thing a lot less attractive, almost pointless. The only you get is maybe little bit more peace of mind and that is ofc worth something, but when you have to put out 20k that you may not ever see again i think 360usd seem a lot. But i dont qualify anyway for this since im under 50.:/
@@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.
James Biron, my marketer, facilitated everything. To answer your question, it was a wire transfer bank to bank. I was nervous at this stag as well. Just follow the instructions given and you will be fine. I HIGHLY recommend James Biron. The process was quick and smooth. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks
Cheaper and less headache and to stay on a tourist visa ! Kiss = "Keep it simple, stupid" is NOT Philipino... As it has always been , if there is a more complex way to do things than necessary... you can trust the Philipinos will find that way !
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.
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.

One big advantage of the SRRV is that your pension or annuity income is tax free in Philippines.
Thats GREAT. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
The only issue i have is the 50yr old requirement. That disqualifies lots of people

50 is a bit young for retirement don't you think?

No that doesn’t do it, i have been renewing my visitor visa every two months, but now got my SSRV Courtesy Visa .?

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

Does Social Security count as pension?

Is the expanded courtesy visa only for military officers or retired military, or for military veterans with a dd214 with a honorable discharge?
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.
Best retirement visa for the Philippines, marry a Filipina and get a 13A visa. It is permanent and only costs 310 peso a year.
Not all have a fiancée. Also, the SRRV can be accomplished on your own. You can still marry a Filipina and your visa will not be based on her. The 13A is a good choice as well. Both have their own purpose.
not the best, but it's great for guys who can't afford SRRV or need their wife to help them get a visa.
I posted a relevant video on this topic....

Did anyone attend the PRA ceremony upon final approval
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.

How did you make the deposit when you were out of the country ?
I am worried about sending money.
Please can you explain ?

The PRA will send you the direct deposit to their bank and it is safe
When you die, who gets your deposit?
To the person named in your will, if no will to then to your nearest kin.
Cheaper and less headache and to stay on a tourist visa !
Kiss = "Keep it simple, stupid" is NOT Philipino...
As it has always been , if there is a more complex way to do things than necessary... you can trust the Philipinos will find that way !
The different visas serve different needs. Thanks for the feedback though.
