Small mistake I cut him off if you have a pension it's $10k usd deposit not $20k, To contact JR please go here facebook.com/jrcvisa.cbu.ph

I heard it's $10k for Military SSRV, and $20k for fully Civilian SRRV? Is that Retired Military only or Honorably Discharged Veteran? Do the consider monthly VA Disability $ like a Pension?

I used JRC, So So So effortless, Highly Recommend JRC, I got My 13 A last month, I am Disabled Married, and 54, Cebu, Thanks JR and Staff, Your Awesome!!! God Bless

JRC rocks! I did my 13A with them and it was painless. He's the man, thanks Michael! I love the title as well.

I'll keep JR in mind! I'm sure I will need his expert help when I plan to settle down there!! Thanks Mike!!!

Really great information for potential expats. Very knowledgeable resource person - and may I point out that you handled the interview very well - with ease and professionalism. Good job! Perhaps this is a niche that you could incorporate into your vlogs or else start another channel just to provide all sorts of info and resources for foreigners. All best.

Best visa explanation I've heard yet from JR, conducted by a great interviewer. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the info it helps a lot. Philippine Prioritize American Veterans because there are a lot of Filipino/American soldiers retiring in the Philippines.

JR is truly an expert. He knows the ins and outs. You guys need to do it with him...

Thanks, JR and Michael! Another info-laden vlog.

Interesting, I was not aware you could work in the Phil when you have 13a visa. If you were to get married and you get the 13a visa, and if the relationship did not work out, then do the SRRV. Does not seem like it is beneficial financially to do the SRRV when not a retired military. Great interview. Many vloggers have had him on but you asked different questions and got more information this time!!

JRC IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO for visa & real estate fast friendly. And he can do what he says the staff is also great

Good Morning, great, great video. these are things expats really have to know and understand. thanks

Great contact to share. Very knowledgeable. Loads of great info - thank u JC xxx

JR is the best!

Oh, JR has been on Filipina Pea's videos! That is really cool! Great video 👍

Great content!!! I'll be reaching out to this guy.

You are awesome Mike. Wish you both of you on Carla a great year.

Jr and you look like to great friends with 2 beers in your hands. I like the information that Jr was able to give regards getting visas to the Philippines

Great content! Very informative! JR is so articulate in explaining everything visa related.

Thanks for this valuable information your the first blogger to go in depth with the immigration info 🙏

great information thank you.

This is a great vid.. As an Australian I'm very interested. You should be doing a Q and A with this guy. He's full of info and would get a lot of work too..

Thank you for the interesting visa info Much Love❤

Great information. Thank you.

I have been using JR's services for my tourist visa extensions since I came here and always have good service and I know things will be done right.

Good info😊

I respect the grind bro i know how it is i grinded from January 4th 2023 to September first 2023 to get my monetization back It took a while for the watch time since I had my channel in One direction and completely 180 that i deleted 1200 some videos and started over so it took a while for it to start building back up I was just sitting there the one day after I got let go at my job and I just said I have my KZread channel over here sitting with like 5000 subscribers let's start building this thing again and do different content i still got to wait about 6 7 months till my vacation time builds up but ill be in Philippines meet my LDR Filipina

Wife and I used jr, smooth, helped with bank accounts, physical, everything. Driver, aid escort to go place to place when needed. Srrv

Good video on visas

Not just US military. Is countries aligned with Philippines and was there for them in WW2. Australian service personnel, and other countries are also able to get SRRV under same terms as US military.

Wife born in Philippines usa citizen,

The information re opening a bank account may be inaccurate? I've been here almost 4 months however BPI requires an residency (not tourist) Alien Card. Without that BPI refused/refuses to open an account for me. Is this accurate from BPI?

but I am irritated because I am sure I heard from several people that you can invest this SSRV money into a Condo, and not have to keep in the account. SRRV Classic says: "For 50+ year old who opt to use their SRR Visa deposit into active investment such as the purchase of condominium unit* or long term lease of house & lot."

​@@ThatPhilippinesLife But that is maybe just the thing with Q&A with Filipinos. My experience is, you have to be very precise or elaborately :) Because the answer on "Can these 20K be used to invest in a Condo?" is generally not wrong. The thing is.. Answers from Filipinos are often not really proactive, but just answers to the exact question, so the addition of "..but if you invest 30K more, you can use it completely for an investment in a condo." was maybe just missing :) I think that was the problem, because thats something I experienced so often :) Example: "Is the waterfall open?" - "No it is closed" (without: "..but in 30 minutes, they will open" lol) -> Result: Western guy drives away because he thinks they are closed. "Can I get this dish without pork?" - "Sorry sir, not possible" (without: "..but there is a dish with the same recipe but only vegetables, with another name, on the menu.") Did you have similar experience? ;)

@@Pilipinasenvrac The Philippine constitution stated that a person born from a Filipino parent is a Filipino. There are no exceptions to that rule. It was never stated that if your parent didn't report your birth to the Philippine consulate, then you are not a Filipino. Just prove that your mom was still a Filipino when she gave birth to you. Can you find her old passports? Maybe even old documents like when she acquired another citizenship. It means that she was a Filipino before acquiring another citizenship, right?

Tying up that much money with no return is a non-starter. I have no issue with Filipino banks, however. They have not had a major bank failure in nearly 50 years. The US has had three in the last 12 months. With the demise of Hong Kong, only Singapore has a more stable banking system in east Asia, that including Japan, South Korea and ASEAN.

Apparently, he and his wife are separated now. His wife got the original channel and renamed it. So she kept the subscribers of the original channel (which has a new name now). Michael created a new channel and he named it That Philippines Life, which is actually the name of their original channel. So he started from zero again and trying to build his subscriber base again.
