Welcome Max. 

Just to be clear. If you have a house in the Philippines (or your wife maybe?) Does that mean one of you is now or has been in the past a Filipino citizen? If so you would not need an SRRV.

Welcome Max.   Could you clarify the current, and previous if applicable, citizenship of both you and your wife?

Just as a point of interest, didn't a poster on this forum mention the other day that former citizens only had to deposit $1,500 - this would suggest they still needed an SRRV otherwise why would they need a deposit of any kind?

Hi Mike 

My wife and myself are British citizens looking for the best SRRV to apply for. My wife has a uk pension and I will not get mine till 2028. It states on the PRA page if you have a pension over $800 USD you have to deposit $10000 USD in bank in Philippines or without pension $20000.

If I am reading their site correctly, your wife could apply for the SRRV with you as a dependent.  Monthly pension requirement of $1,000 per month.  So only a single SRRV would be required.  You would want to make sure this is correct prior to proceeding with the process.

Thanks Mike J 

So it looks like my wife can get SRRV classic with a $10000 USD deposit and myself to deposit $20000 USD Until I receive my pension in 2028 so I can use the deposit to rent a place.

You would not need to deposit any money.  Your wife would apply for the SRRV visa listing you as a dependent.  You would then be covered under the her visa without having to do a deposit.

Thanks Mike 

I must have read it wrong as it stated on SRRV that as a couple must have a pension of I think $1400 USD per month my wife's pension is $954 USD per month also it looks like we have to visit the Philippines embassy in London with passports and marriage and birth certificates to get them authentication or can we do it all in the Philippines.
