Can SRRV holders enroll in the Philippine national health insurance program (PhilHealth)?
Yes. SRRV holders are eligible to register with PhilHealth, the national health insurance system. Enrollment allows retirees to access discounted medical services and hospital care at both public and private facilities across the country.
Are there different SRRV deposit options depending on my retirement plan?
Yes. The SRRV offers several programs: Classic, Courtesy, Human Touch, Expanded Courtesy, and Smile. Each program has different deposit requirements ranging from USD 1,500 to USD 50,000, depending on the applicant’s age, health condition, and background.
Can I transfer my SRRV deposit to another bank in the Philippines?
Yes, you may transfer your SRRV deposit from one PRA-accredited bank to another. This process requires coordination through the PRA to ensure that the deposit remains under official monitoring and continues to satisfy visa requirements.
Do SRRV holders need to renew their visa every year?
No, the SRRV visa itself is lifetime valid. However, holders must renew their PRA ID annually and pay a small maintenance fee (around USD 360 for the principal and dependents). This ensures continuous validity and access to all privileges.
What kind of housing can I buy using my SRRV deposit?
Under the Classic SRRV, retirees may convert their USD 50,000 deposit (or USD 20,000 for some categories) into a real estate investment, such as a condominium or long-term lease on a house and lot. The property must be accredited and registered under the retiree’s name.
Can I bring my household items tax-free when retiring in the Philippines?
Yes. SRRV members are allowed a one-time tax-free importation of personal goods worth up to USD 7,000. These items must be for personal use and declared through customs during importation. PRA will assist in obtaining the necessary approval.
Can my spouse work in the Philippines if they are my SRRV dependent?
Yes. While dependents are not automatically granted work rights, they may apply for an Alien Employment Permit (AEP) or Special Work Permit through the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) if they wish to work legally in the Philippines.
What are the medical requirements for SRRV application?
Applicants must submit a Medical Clearance Certificate (Form 11) from a licensed physician, confirming they are in good health and free from contagious diseases. Foreign medical certificates must be authenticated or apostilled before submission.
Can I travel abroad and return anytime with an SRRV?
Yes. The SRRV provides multiple-entry privileges, allowing holders to travel internationally and re-enter the Philippines without reapplying for a visa. There’s no limit on the duration of time spent abroad, but annual PRA reporting is still required.
How secure is my SRRV deposit in the Philippines?
All SRRV deposits are held in PRA-accredited banks, typically government or reputable commercial institutions. These funds are in the retiree’s name and cannot be accessed without the retiree’s written authorization or in accordance with PRA procedures, ensuring high-level security.
