★ Can retirees under the SRRV program drive or own a car in the Philippines?
Yes, SRRV holders can own, register, and drive vehicles in the Philippines. You can use your foreign driver’s license for up to 90 days after arrival, after which it can be converted to a local Philippine driver’s license at the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
★ Can I switch from another visa type to SRRV without leaving the Philippines?
Yes, tourists or residents holding other visa types can convert to SRRV within the country. You simply need to comply with all SRRV requirements, including the time deposit, medical certificate, and police clearance, without the need to exit the Philippines.
★ Are SRRV visa holders allowed to buy insurance locally?
Yes, SRRV holders can purchase local health, travel, or life insurance from Philippine providers. Many retirees choose local health coverage because it’s affordable and recognized by hospitals nationwide.
★ What are the most common reasons for SRRV application rejection?
Applications are usually rejected due to incomplete documentation, inaccurate information, failed medical or police clearances, or insufficient proof of funds. Working with an accredited service provider ensures your application meets all requirements.
★ Can SRRV holders open a business bank account in the Philippines?
Yes, SRRV residents may open business or personal bank accounts with local banks, provided they meet the bank’s KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements. Having an SRRV ID makes the account opening process smoother.
★ How is the SRRV deposit protected by the bank?
The deposit is placed in a PRA-accredited government bank, such as Land Bank or DBP. It remains under your name, cannot be accessed by others, and is refundable when you cancel the visa properly through the PRA.
★ Can I include adopted children under my SRRV visa?
Yes, adopted children can be included as dependents, provided legal adoption documents are presented and authenticated by the issuing country’s authorities or the Philippine embassy.
★ What kind of support does the Philippine Retirement Authority provide to SRRV holders?
The PRA offers assistance with government transactions, immigration matters, and access to partner hospitals, banks, and real estate developers. They also issue special identification cards for convenience in travel and business dealings.
★ Is the SRRV visa valid for life?
Yes, the SRRV visa is a lifetime visa as long as the holder maintains good standing with the PRA, pays the annual membership fee, and does not violate Philippine immigration or local laws.
★ Can I transfer my SRRV visa to another person?
No, the SRRV visa is non-transferable. It is personally issued to the retiree and their registered dependents. However, dependents may apply for their own SRRV visas if they meet the eligibility requirements.
