RETIREMENT VISA
The Philippines welcomes foreign retirees of all races and nationalities to spend the best of their retirement years in the country. The Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) manages the official retirement program and is the sole agency issuing the special non-immigrant visa referred to as Special Resident Retirees Visa (SRRV) to eligible foreign retirees.
Special Resident Retirement Visa (SRRV) is a privilege granted to foreigners who would like to have a permanent resident status in the Philippines. In return for investing in the Philippines, foreigners including their family members can enter and leave the country as many times and as long as they wish. With a Special Resident Visa, a holder can live, do business or study in the Philippines indefinitely.
SRRV holders have the following benefits:
