Philippine Investment Immigration

The Philippine Special Resident Retiree's Visa (SRRV) is a retirement immigration program introduced by the Philippine Retirement Authority. The SRRV program offers various retirement plans, with the full name being "Special Resident Retiree's Visa." It was implemented in 1985 and expanded with five different retirement plan categories introduced in 2011.

Among these options, the Classic Plan, which requires a deposit of $20,000 under the Smile Plan or a deposit of $50,000 (which can later be converted into real estate), is particularly popular. This plan allows individuals to obtain Philippine permanent residency with minimal investment. It offers high cost-effectiveness, no immigration supervision, and no requirements regarding assets, education, language proficiency, or management experience. SRRV holders can freely work, do business, and study in the Philippines, enjoying an English-speaking environment, authentic American-style education, and benefits for overseas Chinese students. The program is highly sought after among individuals aged 50 and above.
