Any time! Thank you for helping everyone with more info about this.

@@tybaslee5646 Hi Ty, please see in the description to this video
Wow!! Excellent information, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
great interview, good content with a woman who knows her stuff, acts on the things to get done and who possesses a mesmerizing personality😀
Thank you Paul!
Great conversation at the beginning of the vid, I skipped it as it wasn’t what I checked this topic for, but keep it up.
I appreciate that
Using your funds towards a condo is kinda a nightmare. There’s a lean put on condo. When selling your condo it’s a nightmare to have lean removed. It take a long time. I bought a condo with lean from PRA on it. It took a lot of work and time to have it removed.
I understand, thanks for sharing your experience.
very informative, thank you.
Thank you for your support
@@WatchCaliforniaExpat no worries, liked and subscribed
@@CaliforniaBear619 Appreciate it
Its good to know my option. I can do SSRV courtesy as former filipino or expanded as a retired USAF.

Hi John, have some questions but I'll wait till I see you (soon).
I like my coffee black and strong. No cream or sugar.😁
Looking forward to seeing you soon. That's how I like my coffee too, so I'll make it perfect for you haha.
When is Heidi coming back she is very easy on the eyes 👀 and has a great personality smart and is funny .
Haha, will hopefully have her back on again soon.
I have a question. I wish to retire in the Philippines and I have a lady chair and we started a store and catering business that is currently doing well. I 'm bringing retirement SSI income plus revenue from business to live together . we will get married when I get to the phillipines. what could I do for a permanent stay.
Hi John: Thanks again for Great info & content. I would be very interested in the SRRV Classic age 62 with pension (non-military). What would do I need to do now here in (California) before I arrive in Cebu Nov 2023? Keep the great video coming!!!
Thank you very much. I'd recommend reaching out to Heidi and her team from their website. I left contact info in the description. I'm always trying to learn more about this, but for sure they will be able to point you in the right direction more than me. If you have any other video ideas you'd like me to cover let me know! Looking forward to seeing you over here.
Over 50 s pension have 800 dollars so have to deposit 10000 In ph bank if person to go back to his country he can get his 10000 dollars back ever?
I want to meet Heidi, im here in Phillippines.
Do you have any video or information more on the requirement to maintain the visas, the renewal fee and the physical requirement for renewal?
I'm sorry I'm not sure on this. Please reach out to Heidi's company for a free consultation cgconsulting.ph/john.
I have my DD-214 and investment dividend income right now. Hopefully that will suffice and I don't have to wait to apply until I start getting SSI benefits
Hoping works out great for you
I too am interested to know if the DD-214 and dividend income is acceptable before receiving SSI.
John I need an application for the line I am sure Heidi has has fo a suitor actually have scheduled an appointment for Tuesday with her organization for SRRV i will be visiting in October Thank you enjoy the day
I think there is a long line for that haha. Glad to hear you are working with them. Have a great day too.
Thanks John and Heidi great info
You just saved me a phone call to John. Heidi I have a question about veterans visa. I have 2 years 8 months of service in U.S. Air Force. Received a general under Honorable condition discharge . Do I qualify for veterans visa?
Thanks for that Thomas!
If you received a DD-214, I think so. Heidi would know...
Hi Thomas! Yes, as long as you can produce proof that you rendered military service and get that proof apostilled, as well as proof that you’re receiving pension or social security (also needs to be apostilled). Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. Hope this helps.
@@heidicajes8188 thank you Heidi. I have my DD214. Receive S.S. and a pension.
Will be in touch. Once again THANKS
I think working at a Philippines company for an older foreigner might be out of the cards unless you have some special skills.
Age discrimination is rampant and you are required by law to retire at age 65.
Age discrimination sadly is rampant here but I'd be curious if an older foreigner would bypass the discrimination
@WatchCaliforniaExpat In most jobs that are public facing towards the public, most likely not. Maybe some merchandise exporting company where clients in other Asian countries attribute some kind of prestige value to Westerners, would be a good fit.
Hello thank you for this information, how can i get in touch with Heidi to get the SRRV for Veterans. I would like to start this process right away. TIA
Thank you for watching. You can contact Heidi through her company website at cgconsulting.ph/john
Yep. Mad props to Ms. Cherry! She should be nominated for sainthood...
Cherry is amazing. I just promoted her because everyone’s so happy working with her :)
@@heidicajes8188 Wise move!... 🙂
Congratulations to Cherry
So, can I apply for SRRV before leaving my home country or do I have to apply in the Philippines?
Did you find out the answer to this? I’m wondering the same
Good info. How does the 10,000 work with a long-term lease? can you do a mortgage to buy condos?
Hey Ryan, I'm sorry I don't know the answer, but I'd recommend reaching out to Heidi's company at www.cgconsulting.ph
I received my SRRV into my passport 22 days after giving my USA passport to the PRA.
Nice
how many days, do they keep the passport?
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??
I'm sorry I'm not sure on this. Please reach out to Heidi's company for a free consultation cgconsulting.ph/john.
Imterest rates seem ok for PI. banks. Might make ssense to just let the 20k sit there.
Thanks for sharing!
Can you tell us some of the reasons why the SIRV (investor visa) would make more sense for some people. Thanks
If you are 21 years old you can apply for the SIRV visa. I would use it if you are under the age requirement. Invest in one of the allowed companies.
If you weren't married to a Filipina, weren't of retirement age, it would be the core option left.
Heidi is gorgeous
👍
Do I need a birth certicate applying for SRRV Visa?
Green card holder indian citizen can get SRRV ?
If I buy a condo before getting my classic srrv, does that count as my investment, or does it need to be purchased afterward?
I'm not sure on that. You can reach out to C&G Consulting and tell them John Smulo sent you cgconsulting.ph and they'll give a free consultation where you can ask questions.
I asked the SRRV this question personally and they told me you must buy the condo after you get your SRRV not before. Anything before does not count
HI John; great video, thanks for taking teh trouble to cover this topic - of great interest to many!!
I'm interested in knowing, when you have retirement visa in Philippines, what impact on your local (ie Philippines) tax position. I realise people coming from multiple other countries means the non-local tax position is - it depends. But in Philippines, do you know whether Philippines seeks to tax foreign retirees on their worldwide income and gains, or only on locally-arising income and taxable gains? Does it change if you take a 13A visa instead? I realise that this may not be easy to answer. Does Heidi's company cover this aspect? What has been your experience? Any thoughts or pointers welcome!
I'm really sorry I'm not sure of the answer to that because I'm in a different situation but going to get a tax expert soon to do episode
I have a former filipino spouse (U.S. citizen now) age 46 and I am retired military. Would you suggest we get a SRRV under her or under me using my veteran status? Additionally, we have a son who will be 18 when we come there and he wants to attend college for at least 6 years. What happens to him as he enters adulthood? Can he continue to live there and could he gain employment after he gets his Masters or Doctorate degree?
I'm sorry I'm not sure on this. Please reach out to Heidi's company for a free consultation cgconsulting.ph/john.
I am not clear, is Social Security payments equal to or greater then $800 USD the same as getting a Pension?
And if I am getting Social Security in excess of $800 per month, am I qualified to make $10,000 deposit or is it still $20,000?
Thank for the video and information.
I'm sorry I'm not sure on this. Please reach out to Heidi's company for a free consultation cgconsulting.ph/john.
Does PH have the quality of healthcare that someone with health issues would want to move there?
Its a tricky question. My initial answer is that it depends on the health issues, and where you live. If you are in Manila at a hospital like St Lukes you should be fine. If a city like Cebu, then look at Maayo Hospital or Chong Hua. There are excellent doctors and specialists here, though not all, and not all hospitals have everything needed depending on the health issues.
What about if you only want to come for the winter months i.e. 5-6 months.
Probably makes sense to be on a tourist visa unless you need to work.
So even with my DD214 and military retirement pay, still have to wait until 50 y/o to apply?
Not sure on that, but I'd recommend reaching out to Heidi's company at www.cgconsulting.ph
But if you are retired Military. I was told it was a 1,500 dollar deposit. Is that right
Not sure on that, I would send them a message at www.cgconsulting.ph
She said that on the video. Yes
Hi John I've bought condo can I use that as deposit for my ssrv I'm ex military
I believe so. But I'd highly recommend reaching out to Heidi's company in the description to get for sure answers.
Is it possible to lower the age limit to around 40 this year!?
i think if you put in a change request it will be approved in 10 years :)
I purchased condo 5 years ago in Philippines can I use that as deposit for my SSRV visa ?
I believe so, but please reach out to Heidi's company for confirmation cgconsulting.ph/john
No you can't,
I already asked that question because I bought a condo 7 years ago and asked the SRRV . They told me sorry sir not allowed
Does she help with the SSRV. What is the Agency and location. To get in touch with her. I am looking to move to lloilo lloilo
The agency is C&G Consulting in Cebu IT Park
@@WatchCaliforniaExpat ok my friend thank you very much
So is true that if you have any type of criminal background and I mean anything….. Philippine government denies you a retirement visa? Are there any exceptions to this rule….like the age of the crime if it was over 25 years ago?
Not sure on that. If you are looking to get a visa here and have questions I'd recommend getting in touch with Heidi's company and they would be able to answer.
Where is the link
Hi Toby, if you mean the link to Heidi's company website its cgconsulting.ph/john
This is great information, do you have to come to Manila to process?
Hi Eddie, thank you. You don't need to be in Dumaguete to process
How do I get in touch with her
Reach out to C&G Consulting and tell them John Smulo sent you cgconsulting.ph
I retired at 30 and am now 43. Is she still single? 😂🤣
I'm afraid not 😁
CAN I BUY LAND AND BUILD A HOUSE WITH THE $ 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS???IAM 66 BEEN MARRIED 12 YEARS TO FILIPINO
Great information. I am a retired US Army vet with my pension for my service. I would differently use Heidi and her company when I am ready to make my move to the Philippines. I am looking at about two years from now. I would differently want to start my VISA before I come there. Is this possible? Thank you both so much for all you shared.
Hi Neal, appreciate you watching and your service. It's possible as best as I understand but I'd recommend doing the free consultation with Heidi"s company and they can answer any questions you have. Their website is cgconsulting.ph
@@WatchCaliforniaExpat I will do that and thank you for replying
@@NealCollins-ho6yp My pleasure. All the best
An USA Citizen can ask for an Visa Tourist in Phillipines for 3 years???
You can be on a tourist visa for that long but you have to keep renewing it every month or two or three months etc depending on how long you've been here. The benefit of the other visas is you won't have to keep renewing so often and you can get a bank account etc
@@WatchCaliforniaExpat Thank you so much for your respond. Very important for my analysis in this decision.
@@joseluisponstorres You are very welcome my friend
@@WatchCaliforniaExpat I will in continue follow your channel for know the last information about my interest topic.
This is a really great video that will help me a lot I am sure. I think that I need further help though for I am a disabled man with a traumatic brain injury, therefore I have a pension from Social Security but I am younger (38 years old). I would really like to have this very beautiful and helpful ladies contact information speak with her directly and acquire her help getting an srrv Visa. Please help me out!
I have contacted her website. Thanks for the information.
Great to hear. Wishing you all the best for your journey here.
Like 30 is such an old age 😂😂
I know 😅
