More classifications=More fees collected. I hope the officials who will be implementing the new visa requirements across the country will be on the same page with proper training, instead of giving out conflicting or confusing information to visa holders.

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Thank you. Very well said!

[@BelindaLora-cu9jp]

I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.

[@MerbertFletcher]

Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

[@MargaretLora-w7p]

It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than a million dollars by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

[@MohamedTolba-m2w]

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

[@MargaretLora-w7p]

I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Layan Talia Chokr who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

[@MohamedTolba-m2w]

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her

[@dougsullivan3564]

So will it affect SRRV or not? This is the same information we already know. I appreciate the effort but honestly this video shows only what we already know.

[@user-rf4yl2pz1j]

I am married to a Filipina. The video started with Balikbayan then drifted elsewhere. I am allowed 1 year as long as enter with my wife. I didn't get what was changing?

[@baisboy]

Why should we even be listening to all of these when all are "PROPOSALS ONLY" according to your video? Can you come back when all of these proposals become the new RP Immigration Law?

[@kaiaabear448]

So where is the balikbayan part?

[@StarHelix888]

Thanks for the refresher! Helpful for the newer viewers. 2024 isn't over, so will need to lookout for the changes.

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@travelingexistence3742]

Which type of new non-immigrant visa will the SRRV be categorized under...? Will SRRV holders be required to obtain exit clearance? Currently SRRV holders do not need to obtain exits clearance.

[@rosiemanalastas3032]

Thank you so much for explanation what the meaning of those visas ,How about us a citizen in this country we a citizen we dual citizen also is that affected our status when we go to Philippines

[@willietee8979]

Normally you do an excellent job explaining the procedures on all the immigration requirements, not this video. This is probably your worst video. You rushed through visas and did not explain the visas thoroughly, especially in the end of the video 😢

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Thank you for watching and giving your feedback. I really appreciate it. The provisions of the law are general in nature and pretty much straight forward when it comes to conditions. Which one did you not understand or which one is confusing to you? Everything is pretty much new so I do understand if there are confusions and need clarification.

[@willietee8979]

@@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1 yes I'm sure they are easy to understand but it's nice if you're going to make a video for you to please give a thorough explanation on all content. Thank you for responding

[@yoyoventura]

@@willietee8979she did a great Job explaining, I understood clearly. I appreciate her not going on a tangent, and staying on topic.

[@josiecampbell4864]

Is the new law already in effect ??

[@gerardfahy4468]

Will the tourist visa still be able re new up to 3 years

[@rogerbryan3023]

Is it possible please to renew the tourist visa after 3 years as before?

[@gerrymcnally9344]

Most of us are either Balikbayan, SRRV or just visiting (30 day). These new non-immigrant visas are like the ones foreigners get coming to the US (just the letters on the visas are changed). I think the Balikbayan privilage is the one we need to find out about. I guess we will have to wait and see. Government at it's finest. Thanks for the information

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Thank you for watching.

[@daredevilforlife]

Anyone can look up the text of the law online. What does this mean in practice?

[@jonbejar3682]

I rate your comments today as F

[@TankTheSpank]

US doesn't need VISA to do vacation for less than 30 days. Your video is confusing, since it implies you need a VISA to go to Philippines

[@johnnytx45]

You are talking about now. New rules may bring new changes to that. We will see.

[@garybrown6897]

Do you have any idea when this year the changes will be made ?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

This is expected to be implemented this year.

[@davecotterill4190]

So can you still stay for 3 years on a tourist visa totally confusing

[@luzcabrera8855]

how about former nationals or balikbayans? has there been any changes? are former Filipinos who have acquired a foreign citizenship now considered foreigners and required to get a visa? what kind?

[@lilys5095]

Balikbayan privilege is not changing.

[@micktran8778]

Hello there, is the return ticket still required for short time tourists? Thanks.

[@stupadass6989]

Just get a throw away onward ticket for $15 at Nomandic Fire . You were required to get a return ticket OR a forward ticket Never just a return ticket .

[@cesarhawke9978]

I watched whole video but seems to be cutted , there is nothing about Balikbayan privlige or 13A visa about which supposed to be this video according to tittle😅 I'm usually watching all videos in topic and it's great but this time really seems cutted😅

[@lilys5095]

Cut - not cutted

[@Shutflick]

Just a little confused here with the 59 day rule I am from a visa required nation - had a onward ticket within 59 days but have extended my VISA now. So do I need to leave PHILIPPINES after 59 days since my extension is already approved.

[@josepharanzanso3325]

Since your visa extension is already approved, you can stay in the Philippines even after 59 days.

[@Shutflick]

@@josepharanzanso3325 so there is no need to go out of Philippines until 2/3 years are done right?

[@josepharanzanso3325]

Yes. No need to leave the Philippines, as long as you keep on extending your visa until you reach the maximum length of your authorized stay period.

[@neliachiechi1335]

Any changes in Balikbayan visa? Allowing american husband to stay in the phils for one year with the filipina wife using balikbayan visa?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

As of now, there are no changes.

[@jamestodd1419]

Question: I am currently living in the Philippines with a 13A visa (I am married to my Filipina wife of three years). I also have a "permanent resident" ACR card. How will the new legislation afffect me?

[@wernerschneider4460]

Your wife is 3 years old? Or do you mean "FOR 3 years"?

[@jamestodd1419]

@@wernerschneider4460 It's not rocket science. I did not say I married her the day she was born. I don't change diapers.

[@jamestodd1419]

@@wernerschneider4460 You need to be a native speaker to know the preposition is correct.

[@josepharanzanso3325]

I think existing holders of 13A (marriage) visa will not be affected by the upcoming New Philippine Immigration Law. No changes are expected for ACR cards also, as the issuance of ACR cards are in accordance of the Philippine Alien Registration Law.

[@jamestodd1419]

@@josepharanzanso3325 Hi Joseph. Thank you for your reply to my query. I am relieved to know what you stated. I suspected as much, but I am never sure what Filipino law says. It is hard keeping up with changes.

[@leon8830]

How about having a kid in the phillipeans and I am in Canada

[@user-sb6bm5tj8i]

I am Canadian, but dual citizen using Canadian passport, do I need to get visa?

[@wernerschneider4460]

Get a Philippine passport too and use it when entering the country.

[@lilys5095]

What is your other country of citizenship?

[@kuyajhunetv6815]

US Passport need Visa

[@MyraL-oy7ww]

Can you explain the 13a visa.

[@josepharanzanso3325]

13A visa (or marriage visa) is a non-quota type of permanent resident visa issued to a foreign spouse of a Filipino citizen.

[@dfuller3447]

Are there no changes to immigrant visas?

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

There are proposed changes to the immigrant visa. Please refer to my other video.

[@ovellthomas2131]

Can one person have A1-A2-A3 at one time

[@angelinadaguio2573]

Parang nagbabasa lng. Kulang sa paliwanag. Confusing PO.

[@jonbejar3682]

Lady all this you have explained I don't understand anything you said you need more specific information I have asked you before what are the requirements to apply balikbayan visa you have not answer my question

[@darrenlinn5322]

Sir I am in the Philippines with my Filipina wife ,I am American. You must have your marriage license and your wifes Filipino birth certificate. They will give you the Balikbayan visa automatically( at least that's what the guy at the airport told me when going through customs.) Really simple process, takes only a few minutes. If you have children you will,of course, need their birth certificates. They will stamp your passport for one year. And in just a few minutes you'll be on your way. No need for return ticket. We have been here since November so I'm sure we share some of the same concerns , but upon entry I found the process quite easy and stress free. Make sure your papers are originals or certified copies....

[@darrenlinn5322]

No application necessary.

[@lilys5095]

Are you referring to Balikpapan privilege? Are you a former Filipino?

[@darrenlinn5322]

@lilys5095 My wife is Filipina. therefore, as her husband, the balikbayan privilege is extended to me and our children as well. One year visa free stay with no return ticket upon arrival required.

[@darrenlinn5322]

She moved to the States and got her citizenship. So upon our arrival to the Philippines she of course, had balikbayan privileges, but they are extended to the spouse and children of the balikbayan.

[@reubenblanco3703]

I think your discussions of the proposed law are premature .

[@BlackAnonymou]

Its all confusing..

Thank you for watching.

Bnasa nalang ng binasa no clear explanation...

[@AdventuresinAmericaUSA1]

Very clear po ang provisions. Usually, may implementing rules po ang Bureau of Immigration pag may unclear sa mga provisions. Which one po ang confusing?

So you have to pay to leave the country..sounds horrible …these are horrible ideas
