Us green card holder can apply for Philippines SRRV ?
In the case of falling out with your Filipina spouse, what exactly would invalidate the marriage visa ? Would you need to be officially divorced which is very difficult to do, or just separated ?
Great information. Thanks for interviewing JR. His agency is well run. I use them often.
good stuff. when should I, after arriving in Cebu from Texas, go get my 1st visa extension, and should I go to JRC to have them do all the paperwork for me. I plan on living in Cebu for a long time, being over 70, will consider the military visa to stay here. I have my original dd-214, an apostilled birth certificate, and a ss form. Can they do the rest.
After 3 weeks of being here head down to their office.
Does JR also give assistance for a Filipina obtaining a US tourist visa?
I don't believe so
They start talking about the Retirement VISA specifically at... never.. they never talk about the retirement VISA except mentioning it in passing.
Very helpful joined his Facebook page and visited website will apply for military visa good info Gio thank u
Excellent Information, I have seen JR on Pea's Channel as well and was extremely impressed with his knowledge and professional demeanor. Thanks Gio
Well said!
I just went there yesterday.
What if my criminal record sa US hindi ba MA approve and retirement visa?
What if I was arrested 36 years ago. I'm 62 now, and I would like to retire in the Philippines.
What's the proceger for your tourest visa going to Vietnam. As a USA citizen.
Apply at least a week before going to Vietnam online for the evisa.
If I visit the Philippines for 21 days, then fly to Vietnam for 7 days ,fly back to Philippines for 14 days does the tourist Visa start over to a 28 day limit?
The tourist visa starts over.
Hey Gio, thanks for the reply and an excellent channel. You’re making it easier for all of us that want to visit the islands. I hope to run into you sometime so I can thank you in person. ✌@@GiointhePhilippines
JR is a household name these days
Wow! I was online looking for information on retirement visa w/retirement to PH.
Great!
Do I need return airline ticket to enter Philippines? I plan to stay 59 days, I'm retired US military, 70 yrs old. My wife is Filipina with a residence in Quezon City. I watched the video but my question about valid return airline ticket was not addressed.
Hi Sir
I want 2 apply for Srv visa from USA a returning Phil born citizen naturalize us need ur help jrc consultant.?? Thanks GIO.
Thank you so much JR for clarifying the requirements for the military retirement visa!
What advantage to a us military member get? Pls
Can NBI clearance need to be done in Philippines or can be done here in US and will be honored in Philippines for one of the requirement for courtesy visa?
So what's the deposit info about? I saw something about it on Google but not a lot of information. I'm 40 so not the current 50 age rule.
But I did see people below 50 can still get it
People under 50 can not get the retirement visa.
@@GiointhePhilippines lame because I'm retired via military
It used to be older but they changed it to 50 since Chinese were taking advantage of it.
@@GiointhePhilippines dang ccp screwing up my life everywhere I go
I used JRC to get my SRRV. All things considered I am glad that I did. I did have a big hiccup transferring my deposit. I followed step by step instructions given by their representative but the first transfer had problems. The PRA bank claims that they never received it but even with the receipt from transfer I couldn't get the lost $1,500. Not sure where the problem actually was but I still lost $1,500. I will still continue to use JRC. I have contacted them to renew my SRV ARC-I card next month.
Did you ever get your $1500 back?
Hello can i do all the paperwork in the philippines?
JRC is great. And JR is a good guy. For over a year now, my family and I have used them (at the Cebu office) for numerous things, including 13a, son's citizenship, etc....Professional and efficient!
Very good information, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Highly recommend JRC visa consultant
Thanks for the video.
You bet
Are criminal records reviewed for pre approval. I mean I was a young man that made young man mistakes. Nothing to do with rape, murder, child abuse ect ect . I guess are you automatically denied if you have not committed any other crimes over the past 24 years?
Almost all local background checks only include the current state that you reside in. If you have moved from where you have a record, it should not show up. Not positive, but I have been told, that after you have been in the Philippines for 6 months, they no longer require a local background check from your home country. They do a Philippines check and a Interpol check, so unless Interpol has a record on file on you, it should be fine.
can you do a video on how to move to the Philippines with a large dog?
Question for JR, can the deposit being used for the retirement visa be used to buy a condo in the Philippines?
What's an Aric Car? And when do you have to have it?
I'm a 40-year-old retired military veteran. For the SRRV, is there an age waiver? I read online I must be 50 years old to qualify.
50
Questions about inward remittance. I'm still in the USA, Colorado. Can I inward remit before I go there? And what do I inward remit to? I know a PRA authorized bank, but do I need to set up an account first or does it get deposited into lala land? Or do I do a bank to bank AFTER I get there?
Found the process at PRA.
I'm also in Colorado.... and I'm intent on going to PH. So I'm watching with intent.... ☮️🖖
@@stephenaccomando8427 Nice! Retiring Feb 2024, hope to be wheels down May 2024. I already have 3 Apostilles done, waiting for my DD214 Apostille to get back from the State Department. Pretty easy to do and cheap.
Great informational video, thank you. Yes, I'm getting closer to taking my 30 day trip there.
Good luck!
is there any online application to apply for the retirement visa rather than going to cebu?
Not that I know of
Hi Gio ,, question I was looking to be answered was ,,,
When the 10,000 is wired from my bank in America to my Philippines bank ,.. i get my SRRV visa ,,, at what point do I get the 10,000 released back to me ?
Thanks Andrew G. Nashville, Tennessee
As long as you are in possession of the SRRV visa, you do not get the money back, unless ....
1.) You surrender the Visa to the PRA
2.) You can use the $10k to buy real estate, that falls under the guidelines of the PRA.
3.) You die. Then someone else gets the money. Set up a beneficiary by using a lawyer.
Otherwise, that $10k stays in the bank, and can't be touched.
Exactly
Gio, I think its a good idea to get a mic floor stand to be use during guest interviews. 1 mic place in between shared by two people.
Good idea, thank you.
This was a good video, thanks Gio and JR
Good info valuable advise 😊
Glad you liked it
I'm married to a Filipina who immigrated to the US and became a citizen many years ago. She's now going through the process of trying to get her Philippine passport back so she can be dual citizen. I'm retired military. In this case, assuming she gets her Philippine citizenship/passport back, do I need to do 13A, or would it be better for me to apply for the SRRV EXPANDED COURTESY visa?
It would be great for JR to have a quick chat feature on his website for simple Q&A instead of having to book a 30 min consult for $50 imo.
Might want to think twice, Filipino citizens who reside in the Philippines are liable to pay tax on their worldwide income, whereas former Filipinos can get a cheap SRRV for themselves and a spouse, plus own some limited land as well.
@@celtosaxon Thanks, I wasn't aware of those tax implications.
Why are military given preference? Hmmm
lots of paperwork! JR you sold your services well! 😂
Great info. What is apostilization? Is thst mean the document Need to be notarized (for example, DD-214) in the bank or lawyer here in US?
Does a person need to be fully-vaccinated for Covid-19 before being awarded a SRRV Visa?
Where and how do I find a wife in Asia? I'm 25 and solo traveling around Asia, I want to find a genuine good girl but dont know how. I've met a few girls from bumble and tinder but they're definitely not what I'm after.
I'm in Vietnam right now btw, not sure where to go next, I'm guna travel for about 4 more months
Try the dating sites I recommend in the description.
@@GiointhePhilippinesso you think Phillipines is my best bet?
I went to cebu city immigration to apply for my ECC. I was out in 40 minutes they gave me a receipt. I came back for days later and picked up my ECC in 5 minutes.. Both times I went immigration was empty maybe 2 or 3 people in the chairs.. I think most people have started extending on line...? I think soon you will be able to do everything immigration on line..
So I’m a veteran but don’t have a pension, I have stocks to fund my retirement. Can that be used to qualify for the income requirement?
HI I will apply for a SRRV visa soon and was hoping you could help me with some information. I understand it takes approximately 3 months from the application date to secure a retirement visa . I travel often, so would it be possible to either travel away from the Philippines during this processing period or halt the application process temporarily until I return to the country ? And , I also understand there is a $ 7000 tax exemption available for bringing personal possessions into the Philippines for the first time. Would this tax exemption extend to the importation of a motorbike??
Do you actually have to go to JR? I just have my passport messengered :-)
Gio, amazing interview. May you please share the to cost of 36 month tourist visa to the application costs of an veteran's ssrv?
Application cost of a military visa I believe is $1400 plus $1500 deposit. Tourist visa is about 1500 for 3 years.

He talked about a bank to bank transaction, can you open a Philippine bank account being a non-resident?
Typically not
My understanding is, You can open a bank account after you get your ACR I-Card from the Philippines. You can apply for the card after you have been in the Philippines for 59-1/2 days.
Great information. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
JR is very thorough and professional 👍🏽
This is not to imply that JRC falls under the category of a Fixer, which the Philippines government has warned foreigners about multiple times, just saying that it is best to take care of your own visa needs. It is amongst the simplest of processes and does not require a lot of your time, nor does it require that you be a genius. I like dealing directly with the appropriate government agencies. The last thing you want is to get a BOI visit or stopped at the airport for having fake visa stamps in your passport. The same can be said for Philippines Driver's license...there are a lot of insider fake cards out there and PNP is taking notice of it. If you get caught you will be arrested, fined, and deported for xx number of years, possibly for life.
JRC is an accredited agency and been around for quite awhile.
Outstanding information for everyone
For a retirement visa, you have to do a criminal back ground check ?
Do you have to do a background check for a tourist visa?
I’ll be honest with you, I got a tax related charge and I’m worried it will get me denied entry. Can anyone confirm or deny ? Thanks.
Tourist visa there are no criminal background checks.
What is cost to do a 6 month visa?
Great video Gio. What’s the minimum monthly income for veterans SRRV $1000 a month?
Doesn’t seem worth getting the regular SRRV as the annual fees aren’t much less than being there on a tourist visa.
$1000
@@GiointhePhilippines Any idea how tight they are on that 1k? I get $960 for my reserve retirement. Also, if that amount doesn't qualify, will they accept other additional investment income, retirement accounts balances, etc.?
