SRRV No Longer Requires Entry Exemption to get into Country

The injustice done to bonafide SRRV holders is enormous, as are the additional costs and damage for many.
And what has the country won by all of this? What has been achieved?
The promises of the visa privileges have proven to be worthless. Whether or not SRRV holders are residents is now in doubt. I hope PRA and their bosses will provide clarity.
What will be next?
Dare i ask, when did all these chinese come in? Food for rumours and innuendo.

Well emvaningen I do not disagree with you - it will take a massive hit - those of us that have established ourselves here will have to live with the uncertainty now that push come to shove, Gov't will not have our backs. It was at best a sledge hammer approach to a problem, at worst simply a lack of interest which will cost the Philippines an insane amount given the resources SRRV holders bring with them when they come here, screw the deposits.  And this is in many ways the very height of the wealthy countries demographics pushing retirees out to Asia. Thailand is going to make out like a bandit and having lived there a while, if what you want is paradise and value, man it beats Phil already an they have lots of programs....

So to END this EED story - this my last post with copy of Today's email on my application for an EED.

Dear SRRV Holders,


We are very pleased to inform you that the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) has issued Resolution No. 119 dated June 3, 2021 allowing SRRV holders to enter the country without the need of an entry exemption document (EED). Hence, you can return to the Philippines without worrying about your EED as it is not needed anymore. We are happy that once more you will enjoy the privilege provided for by law of multiple entry/exit.


For more updates on Inbound Travel Requirements, please be advised to visit the Official Facebook page of the Bureau of Immigration regarding the Revised Guidelines per IATF-MEID Resolution No. 119, series of 2021, and attention is invited on Item D.


Please be advised that the Philippine Government imposed a travel-restriction on the following countries (India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman and United Arab Emirates) up to 15 June 2021.


We wish you in advance, a smooth, hassle-free and safe flight back into the country.


Best regards and stay safe.

The only visible change I see is for
all new SRRV applicants (Without a Pension)
Aged : 35 to 49 yrs old - Its now going to be a US$50k time deposit (instead of the US$20k deposit) so does it mean military/POGO bandits are still welcome.  ?
Aged : 50yrs & Above will be back to the US $20k time deposit.
