Are SRRV holders required to report annually to the immigration office?

What are the medical requirements for applying for the Philippine SRRV visa?
Applicants must submit a medical certificate showing they are physically and mentally fit to reside in the Philippines. This can be issued by a licensed physician in your home country and later validated by a local doctor accredited by the Philippine Retirement Authority after your arrival.

★ Can SRRV holders travel in and out of the Philippines freely?
Yes, SRRV holders enjoy multiple-entry privileges. You can leave and re-enter the Philippines anytime without needing to apply for re-entry permits or new visas, making travel very convenient for retirees who often visit other countries.

★ Do I need a local bank account to apply for the SRRV?
You may open a Philippine bank account after arriving, but the SRRV time deposit must be made in an authorized PRA-accredited bank, such as the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) or Land Bank. Regular bank accounts are optional but useful for daily expenses.

★ What happens if my dependent turns 21 years old?
Once a dependent reaches 21 years old, they are no longer eligible to remain under the principal retiree’s SRRV visa. They must apply for their own SRRV visa or another appropriate visa type to stay legally in the Philippines.

★ Are SRRV holders required to report annually to the immigration office?
SRRV holders do not need to do annual immigration reports like other foreign residents. Instead, they only pay an annual PRA membership fee to maintain their SRRV status, which also covers dependents.

★ Can I apply for the SRRV if I have a criminal record?
Applicants must provide a police clearance showing no criminal record from their country of residence. Those with past minor offenses may still apply but are subject to PRA evaluation and possible disqualification depending on the case.

★ Can I transfer my SRRV deposit to another bank?
Yes, it is possible to transfer your time deposit to another PRA-accredited bank, but it requires prior authorization from the PRA. The transfer must be properly documented to ensure your visa status remains valid.

★ What is the SRRV Human Touch program?
The SRRV Human Touch is designed for retirees 50 years old and above who require medical care. Applicants must have at least a USD 10,000 time deposit, a monthly pension of USD 1,500, and proof of ongoing medical treatment or care.

★ Is the SRRV deposit refundable if I decide to cancel my visa?
Yes, the deposit is fully refundable when you voluntarily cancel your SRRV visa, provided you have no pending obligations or violations. The refund process takes a few weeks after official clearance from the PRA.

★ Can SRRV holders enroll their children in Philippine schools?
Yes, SRRV dependents are eligible to study in the Philippines without needing a separate student visa. Many SRRV families take advantage of the country’s English-based education system for their children’s schooling.
