What about a Filipina who wants to leave and come to America??? What is her process. Can she leave?

[@CYMRUKID69]

Filipina pea is the most beautiful travel agent I've ever seen I wish I could meet a girl like her with her beauty & heart.

[@anthonynixon6511]

Like a lot of things in the Philippines to much unnecessary

[@anthonynixon6511]

Red tape. Philippines needs to stream line and simplify its policies and get the economy moving again so that people can get back to work and put food on their tables

[@42ouncesofPAIN]

Is it really up to $500 for an extra 30 to 60 days? I thought it was only like $500 to renew your your visa for a full year! No one can afford that, no one would ever stay a full year in the Philippines! Would it reset if you left the country and went to Malaysia and then came back the next day?

[@dragonrln]

Thank you, Miss Pea. This is a hot topic for all of us waiting to join you and our prospective spouses in the PI. I'm glad you have your finger on the pulse of the immigration office there.

I love the fact that BI has no "set fee" for motion for reconsideration. It's all on a "case to case" basis. In other words, they can charge you whatever they feel like charging you. $300 to $500 for an extra 30 or 60 days?? Only in the Philippines.

[@blackmanuk2530]

Lol yeah 😂😂😂😂

[@42ouncesofPAIN]

Is it really that high? I thought that I misheard that. I thought it was only like $500 to renew your your visa for a full year, is it really $500 for an extra 30 days? No one can afford that, no one would ever stay a full year in the Philippines! Would it reset if you left the country and went to Malaysia and then came back the next day?

The two biggest factors was they hired a good immigration attorney & submitted all of the required documentation, or gathered it very quickly. She came over in November, I married her to my brother in January & she had her green card by May or June. This is a good Segway for Gracie's services.

When we had our interview with immigration here in Los Angeles many years ago, our interviewer happened to be Filipino. Near the end of the interview, my wife began asking him if he was single and if so would he like to meet one of her Filipina friends? I was like "Are you serious, are you really trying to fix up our interviewer right now?" So we proceeded to argue in front of him about the appropriateness of her trying to introduce him to someone. He basically just smiled and politely declined her offer and then laughed and said something to the effect of "Yep, you guys are really married"....LOL True Story!!!

WOW ... looks like a can no longer retire to phil . im not willing to deposit $10,000 usd . or buying a condo in a city ... my opinion.. this will really impact phils long term economy !

[@boink800]

Many countries in Latin America are still very welcoming for retirees, with no silly $10k (or more) deposit requirements.

[@neilis2405]

I mean you're not PAYING $10k - you're just making a deposit. Most countries with a retirement Visa are going to require some type of proof of financial stability - either a deposit into a local account or proof of a certain level of monthly income. Basically, they're doing you a favor by allowing you into the country - they want to make sure you're a benefit to their economy and not a drain on it.

The Chinese mafia will control the economy soon.

[@john_sparks]

You look lovely as always, Pea. I enjoyed your video but I was surprised more of the conversation didn't center around individuals with COVID vaccinations (regardless of country of origin). Right now, in the U.S., you get a government ID card that documents the date and type of vaccine you received. And while the IATA is still working on their Travel Pass Initiative, which is designed to help people travel freely internationally with one standardized vaccine ID system, I'm betting the Philippine government will soon start accepting and recognizing U.S. government vaccine ID cards. Earlier this week, I managed to get my first Moderna vaccine injection. So I'm now just 30 days from getting the second injection and being immunized from COVID19. I'll definitely be contacting your immigration experts to see if they can offer advice on how a U.S. (or other nation's) citizen can enter once they've received a 95% proven effective vaccine that also protects against multiple COVID variants. I don't believe we will ever again see travel policies linked to "countries". As long as there is the risk of COVID infecting a percent of your population, no government can broadly declare borders are open to "all" citizens of a particular country. But they CAN (and I suspect will) allow entry to those free from risk of COVID thanks to a government documented immunization. Are they thinking this way in the PH immigration offices?

[@TheFilipinaPea]

So far, proof of vaccination makes no difference to the visa status 😔

It reminded me of the one about the old man advising the young man: "It's important to have a woman who you find very attractive. It's important to have a woman who will be a good mother to your children. It's important to have a woman who is a master chef. It's important to have a woman who will satisfy your every desire in the bedroom. But most importantly... none of these women can ever know of each other." . Or something like that, lol

[@CountryBoyMagic520]

what a good idea very intresting information big like here tamsak more now best wishes from german countryside

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Thanks so much, CBM! 😊

[@kuyagords]

Great vid and info Pea! Can you speak to the Ministry of Tourism next and pull some strings to let us come there sooner? 🤣

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I already tried! I offered them free maid service, free nursing, a pilot to fly them anywhere, a bartender on 24/7 call, and I even offered them Wonder Woman. Still a no ..... 😂

[@ronnelacido1711]

The Dept. of Tourism is just a member of the task force making recommendations to the president in terms of policy vis-a-vis covid management. The task force leans more towards health considerations so it would be difficult for the tourism sector to make its case.

Haven't seen my family for 11 month now. I really hope things go to Normal soon. Long live Skype by the way. And Thanks for this information Wonder Woman.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Can you just imagine what it would be like without the internet? Very few relationships would survive .......

[@Z3r0M1st]

If you are married you are allowed to travel

[@JordanMelbyVlogs]

Now all the foreigners who got Filipinas pregnant and left them will want to come back on the 9a and "visit" their child/children 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Hahahahaha Exactly! Suddenly they love their kids again 😂

[@scott80ca]

Ya true. I have a child there but I'd legitimately go see my child not use a loophole. But you're right many guys will take advantage and have no intention of seeing their kids. Those guys should be reported and deported, hopefully.

[@levytorregrosaoliver6716]

Yes. I like that.."

[@kalencook4715]

Thank you. Needed information. Your awesome pea. Hugs

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Thanks so much, Kalen! 😊

[@kevxsi16v]

I can’t wait for this Covid shite to be over so I can come ph. Been going on long enough now life must start to get back to normal.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I hear you, Kev! 😊

[@chevelless1428]

Once again a very good video and one I needed to see and understand...thank you so very much beautiful...God Bless you and all the Philippine people...

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Thanks as always, Chevelle! 😊

[@waynedarvell9455]

Pea I love what you put forward but I'm sick and tired of always talking about the American people. What about Australia we are covid free but are always ignored. Why are we so good and a great people we love our Phillipine people but the government puts us on a banned list. I'm just about to give up

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I know Wayne, I understand! We love you guys too, and I don’t fully understand why ANY person who can prove they’re Covid-free can’t enter the country. But PLEASE DONT’T give up on us!

[@119jle]

Somebody wishes they were born American instead. :). Some are blessed. 🙏

[@frankb.269]

They can't favor a country over others, you can't do that diplomatically

[@paulatudor691]

Look up McAuthor Park or check the memorial in Manila and see why we all can enjoy traveling to the Philippines.We spilled blood fighting with them and we will always be friendly together. I hope you are not angry be thankful they let all of us visit

[@smylietime]

New Zealand is legit covid-free and even we still don't get to enter PH, we all gotta wait til it's safe

[@steveholt6517]

Brilliant thank you pea. So helpful

[@TheFilipinaPea]

You’re so welcome, Steve!
