HOW TO APPLY FOR SRRV VISA
The Special Resident Retiree Visa (SRRV) is a specific non-immigrant resident visa provided by the Special Resident Retiree Visa.
Furthermore, it also offers tax-free rewards and benefits, as well as value-added services and benefits. Those who enjoy rewards and privileges are a “lifestyle” visa, a “hassle-free” visa for regular use.
For the elderly who need extra treatment for their special needs, business travelers, and a “retirement visa.”
Yet, the granting of the SRRV to eligible PRA applicants entitles the holder to reside for an indefinite time in the Philippines with multiple-entry privileges as long as the minimum deposit investment sought remains.
