I just got my 13A visa by marriage. The process was very straight forward and there was almost no confusion as to what steps needed to be taken. The immigration head office was always super busy. The staff were really helpful. I've been to a few immigration offices in different countries. They always seem to be the worst bunch of people employed by them. The Philippines Immigration was the best . All the staff were super helpful and kind. Even the officer who interviewed me was very polite and accommodating. It left me with a really great impression of the philippines

Even the govt website can be contradictory at times. It's easier to understand if you've been through/are currently dealing with the process. Also it doesn't apply to most foreigners that aren't married, investors, or meet a certain criteria. The majority are expats that are just trying to retire here. So usually they go with the SRRV but not all initially qualify for that either. I've been here for over 2 years and I'm still having issues getting residency status to open a local bank account (one of the requirements) to apply for an SRRV.

I am sorry to say this, but the Philippines is making itself less and less attractive to retirees. Many idiotic vlogs hype it as being some kind of fantasy paradise. Meanwhile, other SE Asian countries, that are less expensive, and with much better infrastructure are outpacing it. It's like they don't really want more expats here (now that they've made the tourist visa policy more tedious). I'm wondering, if it wasn't for the many prospective mates, would so many choose to migrate here?

[@michaelbeggs2013]

As an American with an SRRV and permanent residence, there are few advantages to citizenship. The only advantages that exist for citizenship are the right to own property and firearms, and the right to own a business, and the right of my children to be citizens. If my citizenship can be revoked if I leave for a year, it is not a real citizenship. By staying a permanent resident, I also do not pay any taxes in the Philippines unless I earn money here. Filipinos who emigrate to America can become a naturalized citizen in five years and they enjoy far more rights as soon as they enter America, and their children are automatically citizens if they are born in America. A filipino does not lose citizenship in America no matter how long they leave America. These new proposals are better, but they still seem discriminatory from my point of view, when compared to the rights that a filipino enjoys in America, such as the immediate right to own property and firearms and get a driver's license before even becoming a citizen. It is a difference in political philosophies: the Philippines treats people as subjects where America views the government as subordinate to the rights of the people, who are sovereign. As long as you obey the law, the government cannot remove your citizenship, and this is an extremely rare occurrence.

The Phil’s do not have the same immigration laws as the US so don’t compare apples to oranges. Also, if born in the US, a child is deemed a US citizen based on “jus soli”or country of birth. The right to citizenship at birth in the Philippines is based on “jus sanguine” or related by blood. . One of the parents must be a Filipino citizen for the child to claim Filipino citizenship. Those principles alone will tell you our laws are very different.

[@SurRonAlot]

@@user-cc3fi4cb9u That's why I commented.. it took a lot of paperwork, time, and money for me to get my son just to have my surname, but his mother is Filipina and he was born here so it actually wasn't too bad.

I actually have to do it Manila and go to where he was born in Quezon City.. it's gonna be a nightmare, but that's from the U.S. side of things.. I had to get everything straight with the Philippines first.

[@Warf459]

What gets me is, the visa can be cancelled if the foreign spouse fails to give support to the Filipino FAMILY. I have no problem supporting wy wife and kids, but I'm not supporting her family. That can easily get out of hand. Where does it end?

Too bad they did not consider children born to former Filipinos who had not reclaimed citizenship prior to the birth of their child.

[@kiwioffgrid2437]

The cancelation of a non-quota visa upon separation has flaws as it coerces/forces partners in abusive marriages to remain in the environment inorder to remain in their children's lives. Many parents in abusive marraiges sacrifice themselves for their children. It also gives too much power to the Filipino spouse who could use the threat of separation as a weapon against their husband/wife. This law in my opinion although a great step in the right direction may require a rethink. It also opens up, as it did in New Zealand, woman selling fake marraiges inorder to get NZ citizenship status to migrants (for money). These marriages were/are only a "paper marriages". NZ had to restrict the number of times a woman/men could marry a migrant then apply for citizenship to 2(?) and enforce a minimum term for length of marriage. Students were frequently involved in this scam as a means to pay for their ongoing educational expenses. Yes, it's still happening today.

[@gerrymcnally9344]

It should remain difficult for permanent residency as it is suppose to sort the genuine and non genuine. To reveal the truth in loyalty, assimilation etc. Making permanent residency makes it easy for infiltration, hybrid invasions via migration. On a similar note but still easy permanent residency pathways happening to Western nations, falling prey to easy permanent residencies under gaming of refugee destroys the nation, destroys the local citizens future and is a dilema that no one has reversed.

A smile, appreciation goes farther than one can imagine. Gratuities and being pleasant make the life a bit better for all. Otherwise? I could go sit in DFW traffic, LA traffic, pay 30K in Chicago property taxes, and be involved with a bitter woman instead of a sweet lady, married over 11 years, about 10 in the USA, and 1.5 in Philippines.... living on the waterfront in Bohol... ahhhhhh It took some time to settle in, accept the 'way things are done' and not be stressed. But it can be done! Respect the culture, respect the people, learn to say 'private' when asked personal questions by total strangers. I have lived in beautiful areas where people became oblivious to their surroundings and had crap lives. I did not take the Rockies for granted, the desert for granted, and i do not take my time here, or my sweet lady for granted by appreciating all every day... so yes, the short answer... you can apply for your permanent visa in Cebu!!!! hehe

[@GMBOC]

Following

[@airandyle]

When we says family is referring only to father,mother and children When we talk about included the grandparent of the children or any member of the siblings lives in one roof is an extended family

[@PhilsPhilippinesParadise]

@@airandyle So a foreign spouse should be required to spend his hard earned money on the wife's parents? Understand that many of the immigrant men over here have only their social security payments as income (roughly $1600 usd), and that is not nearly enough to provide for his household here, any residual bills from back in his country such as his kids or grand kids and be financially stable here. That seems more like punishing foreign men for marrying a woman from here and will eventually cause foreign men to stop doing so. I can understand a man helping when HE sees he can afford it, but for it to be a mandatory part of being a spouse is a bit too much.

[@TDK67DK]

In law, the term "Family" always refers to the first degree - Husband, wife, children, adopted children and in some countries the pets are included. If they talk about the second degree family it´s about your parents and your childrens kids. In some counries your siblings are also second degree. ( also counts for the wife of course) Third degree are everyone else. Like uncles, cousins etc.

[@PhilsPhilippinesParadise]

@@TDK67DK I am absolutely for providing for the wife and any children in the custody of the wife. Thats a given even in America... a step father should always provide for the step children if they are not of working age. Its when I see filipinas that make their foreign spouses feel obligated to gives them money for the parents, cousins and siblings when there are many others in the family that can provide. It tends to be the thought that when a Filipina marries a foreigner, she will be the main provider to the rest of the family because she gets a million dollars from the foreigner. Again, I know many immigrant men here that were in poverty in their own countries, and have just enough to feel middle class here.

Under "nonquota immigrants" section A, it states abandonment by the foreign spouse to give support by the foreign spouse to the Filipino spouse and family. I can understand the family part, but the family is considered all family members including aunts, uncles, cousins, siters, brothers, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, etc. This is stating you are requied to support from 50 to 100 family members if you separate and also support if you are together. A family to a Filipino is the entire family; not just the spouse and underaged children. Any family member could claim abandonment is the foreign spouse is not supporting them financially. This proposal does not clearly define "family".

@@user-ke1jm8tz2m Ok, thanks, that's good news. I wonder who it applies to then, the re-entry permit being discussed at 7:25. I remember I once had a 1 year visa for the Philippines and immigration at Manila airport gave me a bit of a telling off when I departed. They told me I should have cancelled the visa. I don't know why.

[@SXMaarten01]

Howe can I find out what the quota for foreigners are. I am Dutch (Netherlands) and I would like to apply for a permanent visa. SRRV was impossible, because the Dutch government refused to cooperate.

[@sgtm7]

Other than a police report would you need from your government? And even the police report isn't necessary if you have lived in the Phillipines for a certain amount of time, in which case you would get clearance from the barangay and NBI.

[@airandyle]

That simple If you really want to have a permanent residency 1. Live with locals,follow cultural diversities of each island as tourist. 2. Adopt the culture of Filipino 3. Let the locals choose you in the first instance. 4.local people is the best way to help you get a residency.

[@SXMaarten01]

@@airandyle Thanks for the advice. I already do like that. I honor the Filippino way of "share your blessing"

[@meriamsmith9515]

It's very confusing just wanted to know if I am allowed to retired in the Philippines since I become a us citizen.cause I'm not planning to get a dual citizenship.

[@ahnonymuz9921]

No you cant you are US citizen you need to pay monthly visa. Ano ka swerte? Pag ka tapos mo itakwil yun Phil Citizenship and you want to stay as much as you want. You will be treated like other nationals because you are mot a Filipino anymore

[@josepharanzanso3325]

You can get either an SRRV or a 13G visa (permanent resident visa for former Filipinos) if you want to stay in the Philippines on a long term basis without re-acquiring Filipino citizenship.

[@TomBTerrific]

The Philippines needs me way more than I need it. I have zero interest in getting anything more than what I currently have. Being married to my wife gives me a year if we travel together. That more than I can take.

[@user-sq2no7gr8b]

That's what you think. You're just a piece of sheeet to us .

[@gilbert512]

My wife is originally for Philippines but living in the us with me. She just got her us citizenship and we are currently working on her having her dual citizenship. My question if I wanted to get a Philippine residency, would I need to move there or be there a certain amounting time there each year?

[@jackbaldwin3649]

When will we know whether the proposed changes will take effect?

Once announced by the Bureau of Immigration and of course, by the news.

[@ricksarazin1379]

I agree with this specific part, it ticks me off people making babies and leaving the mother to support the child. But taking care of your wife's parents will be abused.

Yes in some case but it's a trap used, to force in relationships as Well remember dependant is not blood children, its wife and family any poor guy is deportations vonerable if they please its family act/ law also if you become disabled here, being a strain on there medic system, they can deport you as well

Yes you can, Simple as that, you have a marriage contract with your wife.

[@user-uu6cl3xy1g]

MY EXPERIENCE WITH FILIPINOS IS IF YOU HELP THEM ONCE THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME! DOES IT SOUNDS UNGRATEFUL? I THINK YES. REGARDING THE PHILIPINES CITIZENSHIP I WOULD NEVER BOTHER TO GET IT. I AM HAPPY WITH MY ORIGINAL ONE. STAY THERE AS A PERMANENT RESIDENT.

[@wernerschneider4460]

I don't care about my own citizenship. For me, my passport is just a means of travelling. I don't even vote in my country since 25 years (before only twice in 18 years) and will never do it again.

[@rayray2076]

Philippine govt now will track foreigners flying in. You have to now register with E-travel with an upload photo of yourself, 2nd you have to register your sim card. After 9 yrs I will no long go to the Philippines.

[@tilapiadave3234]

The Philippines thanks you for NOT ever coming back , much appreciated

[@PhilsPhilippinesParadise]

Whats wrong with being tracked here? America does it to immigrants as well as its own citizens. Cell phones are registered to the owners in the US, even burner phones record the purchase and it tends to be caught on store cameras as well. Yall act like the Philippines is doing anything worse than your own countries do.... How about stopping these practices in your countries before complaining about them being implemented over here. No one forces you to visit the Philippines... And trust, when you stop visiting, the Philippines will survive....

You can renew that in philippines consulate near you.

You can inquire at your nearest Philippine Consulate which has jurisdiction over your residence.

[@telepolo]

What about retired foreigners wanting to live in the philippines ? -- what are the requirements to apply for a permanent residence ?????

[@kanointhephilippines8082]

The SRRV visa in the Philippines is the way to go. If you are a US veteran it's a $1,500 deposit in a bank here and then some clearance paperwork and show a basic monthly income. If not a veteran it's a $10,000 deposit.

[@telepolo]

@@kanointhephilippines8082 $10,000 dollar deposit !! are you kidding me ?? I would need to buy a lottery ticket first and hope for the best

[@oliviag.]

Philippines is only small country foreigners should be limited and fugitive should be avoided , so the new immigration law is in the right move.

[@joebloe4374]

Always has been quota and non quota Before quota was was 50 immigrants per nationality per year now 200 As a reminder IF you hold a 13a visa married to filipina Remember she is your sponsor She can withdrawal at any time (pokwang perfect example ) and your visa is revoked OR if she were to pass away your visa also is revoked, you become 9a tourist Even if you've lived 50 years in philippines! Unlike usa where after 2 years your provisional green card becomes permanent and if you divorce or she passes away you don't lose your green card IF you are a citizen of a low population country I.e. Iceland Luxembourg etc it is better just to apply for a quota visa Rather than relying on a filipina spouse (read above)

[@airandyle]

Since you are married to Filipina also following the civil and family code,so it's not possible your 13a visa be revoke.

[@justaguy-69]
