I believe the 13A if you’re married vs SRRV military with honorable discharge which you have more privileges one being a 13A is a visa the other SRRV is a permanent resident. This is how I understand it
Actually the 13A is a permanent resident visa as well. And has many of the same benefits. Of course if your not married the SRRV is your only choice for a permanent resident visa.
Pirate Cove Philippines oh that’s good info I am Married to a dual citizen Filipino/ American and was still planning on the SRRV just think it’s better for me. Can’t recall why I decided that route now lol getting old I guess
13A is so much less money over the SRRV. But it always comes down to what YOU feel is best. And if later you change your mind, you can just change Visa. So nothing to worry about.
Hey Walter how ya doing! Yeah our free 1 yr Balikbayan visa getting ready to expire. So we're thinking what we want to do. We can leave for a day and get the one yr Balikbayan again or pay P2000 each for only 6 months. But thinking about pursuing SRRV. Decisions Decisions!! Nice update video on yourself. The time you met up with philo I was watching his vid on ur meet up. I didn't realize it was you because he said he was craving tacos!😂😂 Take care!
@@TropicalTimInthePhilippines the 13A only cost 400 USD. Not hard at all to do, just some documents and a few visits to immigration. Must go to immigration once a year after that for the annual report cost is 310P.
I have a question about the RSSRV visa. I watched one of your videos a while back where you talked about a permanent visa if you were in the military. Everything I see on line says you have to be a retired officer of the military of 20 years or more to get a permanent visa. Didn’t you say that wasn’t correct? I was in the Army for 4 years and have a horrible discharge and a DD214 showing that. Didn’t you say if a person was in the military and are drawing social security and can show they are drawing social security which would be considered a government pension they would be excepted under the RSSRV status? Also I would like to thank you for putting out these videos. They are very informative for people like me considering retiring in the Philippines.
That's correct Tim. The info you find online is often wrong. Only need to be a veteran, with a DD-214 , a pension of I believe 1K USD and 50 years old. You can contact the PRA ( Philippine Retirement Authority) and they take care of everything you need. Thanks for watching.
PRA Circular No. 012 dated January 15, 2013 “Retired military personnel who have provided military aid and training to the Philippine Government via a defense treat or any other similar agreement.” In some of the SRRV pamphlets it refers to military officers, remember there are several types of officers that the US military has - commissioned, warrant, and non-commissioned. So if you were an E-4 and above you’re in, it does not say where your retirement check has to be from. If you were a E-3 or below I would not hazard to guess.

Good update Walter----any news on the railway extension progress---the Malolos station . The news on the Bulacan Airport seems to have faded away
Both are in work, but to me it looks painfully slow. I would like to see them while I still alive. Lol
Thanks for watching Clyde
Hi Walter that was a fun afternoon at SM North and it was good to see you guys again.
Always great to see you guys, I must get over to see you guys again soon.
I like your style and appreciate your videos, more would be good, but content and quality works best for me
Thank you so much, will work on getting more out.
@@piratecovephilippines4711 I look forward them

Have you thought about the 13A permanent resident visa.
So much less money than the SRRV ?
@@piratecovephilippines4711 Yes I have but still weighing option.
Not real familiar with 13a
