How to get residency or yearly visit visa in Philippines?

Post new topic

Hesham ElDeeb

Hello everyone


i'm an Egyptian who is married to a Filipina ( we got married in Philippine civil marriage ) and now we have a new born baby but is currently staying in Philippine and we can't stay in the same country ( currently because of my work in Kuwait ) so i'm only visiting Philippines through one entry visit visa.


my question is:

  • Can i get the residency in Philippines based on that i have a Filipina wife and daughter there or not.

If not

  • Can i get a yearly visit visa ( spouse visa ) with multiple entry so if there is any problems there i can go immediately.


i want to know what i have to do because really it's hard for every time i want to go vacation i need to go to the embassy to request for a visit visa single entry.


i'll really appreciate it for an advice or instructions

What i have completed recently is a "NON QUOTA VISA".

So multiple entries without fees for a period of 12 calendar months.

After your first 12 months of "NON QUOTA VISA" you re-apply for each year for a total period of 4 years which then you are eligible for Perm Res.

Upon your first entry with a compliant "NON QUOTA VISA" fill out a BI FORM 201408-006 REV 0 form which is an

"APPLICATION FORM FOR ALIEN CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION IDENTITY CARD (ACR I-CARD) the day you land with your non quota visa to your nearest immigration office.


The NON QUOTA VISA is simply ridiculous in application & can cost a lot of money.

How ever the first application is always the hardest.

Once the immigration see the extent of information, they follow the trail for future applications.

Reapply for the non quota visa whilst you are in Pinas, the cost is 1/4 of anywhere else in the world for SURE and you only need variable police reports as apposed to doing it in a country like Australia where it is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS the scrutinisation.

Once my NON QUOTA VISA was submitted which had taken me 3 months to put together, it only had taken 10 minutes at the Embassy in Canberra to be approved and stamped in my passport instead of being stamped in Manila.

You get through the 1st Visa you get through the next 4 much easier.


In 5 years you will have a new home free of Visas.


Good Luck
