Special Resident Retiree's Visa (SRRV)
Make the Philippines Your Home with the SRRV Visa
The Philippines is more than just a tropical paradise — it’s a place where you can live comfortably, enjoy a low cost of living, and be welcomed by some of the warmest people in the world.
If you’ve been searching for a retirement or residency program that offers security, flexibility, and a lifetime of convenience, the Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV) may be the perfect choice for you.
Why Retire in the Philippines?
Choosing where to retire or relocate is one of life’s biggest decisions and the Philippines stands out for all the right reasons:
English-Speaking Convenience
English is widely spoken, over 90% of Filipinos are fluent, making everyday communication, transactions, and integration effortless.
World-Class, Affordable Healthcare
Private healthcare in the Philippines is of international quality, often staffed by doctors trained in the U.S. or Australia. A specialist consultation can cost as little as $25, giving you excellent care at a fraction of Western prices.
Warm, Welcoming Communities
Filipinos are renowned for their hospitality. Once you’re a familiar face, you’ll quickly feel part of a close-knit community. Expect smiles, invitations, and a sense of belonging wherever you settle.
Breathtaking Beauty and Lifestyle
With over 7,500 islands, the Philippines offers everything — from lively cities to peaceful coastal towns and island escapes. Whether you want adventure, tranquility, or both, you’ll find it here.
Low Cost of Living
A couple can live comfortably in charming cities like Dumaguete for $1,500–$1,800 per month — covering housing, food, and leisure.
Easy Financial and Legal Transition
The Philippines maintains tax treaties with several countries, including the U.S. and Canada, helping retirees avoid double taxation. You can also receive Social Security benefits directly in a local or U.S. bank account.
The SRRV allows foreign nationals and their dependents to live in the Philippines indefinitely with minimal restrictions. Unlike most long-term visas, the SRRV offers the stability of permanent residency, giving you freedom, peace of mind, and the lifestyle you deserve.
Why Choose the SRRV Visa?
Designed for individuals who want a second home in Asia, the SRRV offers some of the most attractive benefits among residency programs worldwide.
Lifetime Residency
Enjoy permanent stay in the Philippines with no need for constant renewals or extensions.
Unlimited Multiple Entry
Travel in and out of the country as often as you like — no reapplication needed.
Family-Friendly
Include your spouse and dependent children under one application.
Exclusive Privileges
Access tax incentives and duty-free importation of household goods, plus enjoy special benefits from the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA).
Affordable Living
Stretch your savings further with lower costs in housing, healthcare, and daily living.
Vibrant Lifestyle
Whether you prefer city life, nature, or the islands, the Philippines offers endless options to enjoy your days in comfort and joy.
Who Can Apply for a SRRV?

- Foreign nationals 40 years old and above with a qualifying pension or time deposit investment.
- Retirees looking for a second home in a country known for its tropical climate and warm hospitality.
