Sept 2025 PRA restructure: the SRRV is now TWO tiers (Classic + Courtesy); minimum age lowered 50 -> 40 with two brackets (40-49 and 50+). SRRV Classic bank deposit by bracket x pension status: 50+ USD 15,000 (with pension) / USD 30,000 (no pension); 40-49 USD 25,000 (with pension) / USD 50,000 (no pension). Application fee USD 1,500 (raised from USD 1,400) + USD 300/dependent; spouse + 2 children at no extra deposit, additional dependent USD 15,000 each. NEW: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Clearance Certificate now mandatory. The deposit may be converted into a qualifying investment (e.g. condominium) 30 days after issuance, with a USD 50,000 condo-purchase floor (unchanged, and independent of the entry deposit). Permanent-residency status; no mandatory physical presence; foreign-source pensions tax-exempt in PH. Pre-Sep-2025 SRRV holders are understood to be grandfathered (transition treatment not pinned to a primary instrument). Primary sources: PRA 'Processing of SRRV Application (Revised Sep 2025)' PDF + PRA Citizen's Charter 2025; corroborated by ACCRALAW advisory 22 Oct 2025. NOTE: the PRA HTML landing pages (pra.gov.ph/srrv, /SRRVisa) still display the OBSOLETE four-tier copy.
