The once off processing fee of of US$1,400 is no big deal for the SRRV. For us investing US$10,000 in a Bank of their choice is no big deal for 6 months and including proof of my pension. Annual fee of US$360.00 = $30/month which is acceptable. ... Read More

You can get either 13A visa or SRRV visa which is for retiries. With the SRRV it will make you deposit US$ 10kl for 6 months if you are a retirie or much more if you arent. Then you dont have to worry about leaving the Phil unless you want to. Read More
