SRRV Philippines in 2026: Eligibility, Visa Deposits, Documents, and Dependents
The Special Resident Retiree’s Visa is a special non-immigrant visa issued through the Philippine Retirement Authority and Bureau of Immigration. Applicants should rely on the PRA’s current program page because older tables and unofficial summaries may contain superseded age, deposit, or documentary information.
Start with age and dependent eligibility
The PRA’s live SRRV page states that foreign nationals and former Filipinos aged forty and above may qualify, subject to the selected option and documentary requirements. A legally married spouse and unmarried children below twenty-one at the time of application may be included as dependents.
Match the deposit to age and pension status
For SRRV Classic, PRA currently lists different visa deposits for applicants aged forty to forty-nine and those aged fifty or older, with separate pensioner and non-pensioner levels. It also states monthly pension evidence for a pension-based application. Applicants should obtain written confirmation before remitting funds because program terms can change.
Prepare civil, medical, police, and immigration records
The listed requirements include the application form, valid passport and temporary-visitor status, medical certificate, police clearance, Bureau of Immigration clearance, and where applicable NBI clearance. Foreign-issued documents generally require an English translation and apostille or Philippine consular authentication under the current instructions.
Remit only through the approved process
The visa deposit must be inward-remitted to a PRA-accredited bank following PRA instructions. Processing and dependent fees are separate from the maintained visa deposit. Applicants should not transfer funds based solely on a private intermediary’s promise of approval.
Review the complete residence plan
Property use, health coverage, dependents, tax residence, travel, estate planning, and long-term maintenance obligations should be considered before applying. Explore BizzureVisa’s Philippine visa services or request an SRRV assessment.
General information only. PRA and BI retain authority over eligibility and approval, and program terms may change.
