Do I Need Health Insurance?
Yes. Most health insurance will not cover you for any injuries sustained outside your home country. You will either need to get PHILHEALTH medical insurance or Expat Medical Insurance. However, PHILHEALTH only provides minimal coverage in overcrowded public hospitals.
If you retire abroad, expat health insurance is a more complete option. Expat Medical Insurance is the "normal" insurance you are familiar with to from home. Coverage is built for expats outside the US and insurance premiums are much cheaper than in the US.

Can a foreign national from The UK now travel to The Philippines as a tourist (July 2022)?
At the present moment, no. The Philippines is closed to tourists. You can get in with an EED, but you need an eligible justification such as work, reuniting with your Philippine spouse, or if you are over 50 years old, for retirement.
How long does it take to get a 9A Tourist Visa for a UK Citizen?
Typically, a few weeks. However, there is no definite timeline for when the EED will be issued with the uncertainty around current lockdown rules. An EED requires approvals from the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), the Department of Tourism (DOT), and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). Depending on how many applications the three agencies are currently processing and the reviewing officers’ availability, it can take a few months.
Does a foreign national also need an Entry Exemption Document + 9A visa to enter The Philippines? If so how to get both?
Hi Bernard,
Thanks for reaching out. It’s a little confusing. I’ll summarize here, but also leave a link to a step-by-step post at the end that has more detail.
To clarify, you need both. The EED (Entry Exemption Document) is the first step. However to get an EED, you need a valid reason such as a work contract with a local employer, family reunification with a Philippine spouse, or what most foreigners are currently using, a Retirement Visa. You then submit the EED to your local Philippine Embassy or Consulate for a 9(a) temporary visa to enter the Philippines.
Check this “How To Get An EED" infographic for a step by step explanation.

I heard that starting Feb 10th, foreigner tourists are allowed to enter the Philippines. Is that accurate?
Hi Andy,
Potentially. The Bureau of Immigration release a message on their Facebook page, but I haven’t seen anything on their official website. However, the news does look promising. I’m waiting for the official announcement to ensure there are no surprises.
What are the requirements for a SRRV permanent visa holder returning to the Philippines after six months of stay in the US
I am fully vaccinated in the Philippines and booster shot in the US
Do I need a Covid insurance policy
Do I need to show a return ticket to the US
Please let me know what are the requirements for entering the Philippines in April 2022
thank you
Hi Jimmy,
Welcome back! US citizens entering the Philippines on the SRRV do not need COVID insurance nor a return ticket to the US. As a permanent visa holder, you are subject to less stringent requirements. You can read the full details here.

Can I apply For SRRV using visa free entry instead of 9a or BB ?
Hi Phil,
Visa-free vs. 9a vs. BB would depend on your citizenship.
If you are from the US or one of the 157 countries with Visa-Free entry, you can enter visa-free instead of using the 9a.
https://nomadicfire.com/philippines-visa-policy#countries
The Balikbayan Privilege is reserved for former Filipino citizens (and their spouses) who were naturalized as citizens of another country.
If the Balikbayan Privilege applies to you, then that is the best visa to enter the Philippines and begin your SRRV process, as you get the longest initial visa duration.
Let me know if you have any other questions or need assistance with the application process. Drop me a line, and we can set you up with one of the Visa Specialists who can file on your behalf and reduce the administrative hassles.

Quick question regarding the SIRV, does it expire ever?
Can it be made go never expire, even while you end the investment
Hi Mikael,
For the Philippines Special Investor’s Resident Visa (SIRV) (not to be mistaken for the SRRV), you can perpetually renew the special visa allowing you to stay permanently in the Philippines as long as your company is still in business and meets the minimum investment requirements. However, if you end your investment, your visa will be reverted to a temporary visa. You will then need to find a different way to stay long-term in the Philippines (13a Marriage, Retirement Visa, etc.).
If you need any help with your SIRV application, let us know.

I am 68 yr old transman engaged to a Filipina. Deposit is $10,000 for me. Once we marry, can we use the Deposit money to buy a house? Which visa would I apply for? And what kind of health insurance would I need?
Hi Robert,
Regrettably, the SRRV deposit can only be used for condominium purchases or long-term leases of a house and lot. However, you can look into a 13a Spousal Visa once you are married, which does not require a deposit. However,(this is not my area of expertise), a quick Google search states the Philippines does not recognize transgender marriages. The SRRV might still be your best bet.
There are pros and cons between the 13a vs. the SRRV. You can read about the 13a visa specifics here.
Your situation might benefit from speaking with one of our Visa and Immigration specialists.

Hello, I’m living in Japan and I am considering applying for a SRRV. Could you please tell me if I can apply from abroad or if I need to be in the Phillipines for the whole process? I am unable to find a clear answer to this question on internet. Thank you
Hi Francoise,
You apply when you arrive in the Philippines. If you are from the US or one of the 157 visa-free countries, you can arrive by visa on arrival and start the SRRV application here. You will likely need to extend, as the SRRV process is currently taking around 45-60 days to process.
As a friendly reminder, to enter the Philippines you will need to show health insurance with specific COVID coverage and an onward ticket departing 30 days from your arrival, even if you plan on staying in the Philippines long-term (silly rule, but it is the rule).
https://nomadicfire.com/travel-insurance-for-the-philippines
You should start the document gathering process in your home country because while you apply for the SRRV visa in the Philippines, many legal documents (like a police background check, marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.) are easier to get in your country of residence.
Any questions, let me know. If you would like a consultation with one of our Visa Specialists, you can arrange that here.

Hi there,
According to PRA Website, if an applicant decided to use the required deposit towards a long-term lease, it is a requirement that the property must be at least )$50,000 USD in value. How long should an applicant lease the property for? What will happen at the end of the lease agreement? Is there a strict rules when it comes to the location of the property? This type of information is not readily available online. Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Jeya
Hi Jeya,
For the SRRV deposit, you can invest in a condominium purchase or the long-term lease of a house and lot. The minimum value for either investment must equal $50,000. For the lease, the lease term must be a minimum of 25-years.
Your deposit must stay invested for as long as you have the SRRV visa. If at the end of your lease agreement you wanted to stay in the Philippines longer than 25 years, you would need to renew the lease.
There are no restrictions on the property location.
I feel your frustration about not getting the information you need online. Spending hours researching the web for outdated answers or getting contradictory information from different sources is infuriating.
I have Visa and Immigration specialists ready to help cut through the government red tape, simplify your immigration process, and make obtaining your visa easier.
If we want someone to take the hassle out of the visa process, let me know.

Cheers,

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your prompt response.
Are you saying that:
1. The value of the property must be at least $50,000 USD, then a retiree long-term lease should be minimum of 25 years for the with the total amount of $50,000 USD.
2. OR the property must be $50,000 in value, retiree can lease it for 25 years using the deposit of $10,000 USD for a retiree with monthly pension of $800 USD (50 yr old above)
If a retiree is 83 years old, do you think there’s a chance of being denied?
My other question is can the land owner be paid by the retiree using the deposit funds ( $50,000 USD) to built the house then lease the house and land to the retiree?
Thanks,
Jeya
