Philippines SRRV (Retirement Visa) Requirements
The SRRV (Retirement Visa) is a multiple-entry visa for applicants age 50+ that allows an indefinite stay in the Philippines. While the visa application must be submitted in the Philippines (and it is recommended to use a visa agency in the Philippines to assist you), we can help you secure the necessary documents for the SRRV and help you obtain a tourist visa. The tourist visa will provide an initial stay of 60 days upon entry to the Philippines, allowing extra time to secure the SRRV.
Our fee is $750 if you wish to use our services to secure the tourist visa and help apostille documents in preparation for the SRRV:
1 - Passport. Submit the actual passport and make sure It has empty visa pages and will not expire within 12 months from the date of arrival to the Philippines.
