What happens to the 10 k? Does it make money. Can I get it back if I get sick? Suppose I decide I want to cancel it can I get it back?

Yes, The deposit earns interest but it is a trivial amount and does not keep pace with inflation.
And, yes, you can get the deposit back if you leave the SRRV scheme. I would expect its as easy as pulling hens' teeth to get the money back.聽

So your saying that after my Filipino wife gains dual citizenship, she will be eligible for philHealth and that I can be covered under her policy?
Thanks in advance

Not sure of your status or plans and I offered an observation only regarding Filipino nationals and spouse cover with Philhealth.

A quick search reveals the following:聽 聽



Google and see what suits your situation. good luck.

Please remember that PhilHealth only covers about 10% of a foreigner's hospital bill. It helps, but do not rely upon it to cover expensive, emergency, medical expenses.

There are big differentces much depending of WHICH illness, some they pay big part of as e g dengue and tb.

Dear Oakie, yes i have the extended srrv as well.聽 The annual fee is 500 php.聽 The main differences of the srrv is it is your visa not someone elses.聽 God forbid if you have a 13a visa and your marriage ends you will lose the visa and have to leave the Philippines. Regardless of any thing else.聽 rainrider9

I doubt that is true. I suppouse the foreigner would get time to get some other solution,. And hard to get a marriage to end any fast in Phils even if want to聽 聽

Coach53,聽 i have read about that prior.聽 Man had a 13a visa lost everything, house he built, marriage the whole shebang.聽 Went home penniless.聽 Never would want to be in that position nor would want anyone else to either.聽 There is an extended visa for vets that requires only #1500. In a cd聽 at BDO bank in makati.聽 Annual renewal fee is only 500 pesos.that is much easier than putting up $15,000 or more.聽 As long as you renew it, stays in force.

I have met more than one expat in similar situations in my time here.

It is hard to argue with your logic.聽 If I was in marriage where the stability was in question, I could understand the preference for the SRRV.聽 Fortunately, I am not!

Yes, so happy that you have a good stable marriage.聽 It is a wonderful thing.聽 Congratulations.

Thanks very much kind person!

It is truly a blessing and the product of 20 years of hard work by both us.

I dont believe it still.聽 How would it even be posible to be FORCED out ONLY by a marriage ends, not geting a chance to get other solution to stay?

Concerning losing the house I guess he hadnt chosed a good solution.

Coach evidently when the marriage breaks up the visa is cancelled.聽 The basis of the 13a is a marriage. Check with any attorney in the philippines.聽 You will find out the truth.

SO WHAT ?聽 聽
1.聽 Marriage (amost) never end fast Except if wife die suddenly and then the foreigner INHERIT and then get time to solve things.
2. Just get a "touristt visa" (and then an other lon time VISA if want to.)

You are correct in law,,,,,, but the theory doesn't work so simply, firstly from my understanding the wife has to cancel the 13a if you split up, can this be accomplished before an annulment or divorce takes place? Others can answer that one, this takes time if she would even bother.

You come home from the golf club for dinner and your wife tells you "oh honey by the way I cancelled your 13a visa and you have to leave tomorrow, bye" and if you were too stupid to see that one coming you deserve it.

Coach is correct, there will be plenty of time to secure an alternative visa type.
As for losing everything? Stupid is as stupid does. Make your bed etc.

Let's all hope that no one here loses their 13a or the clothes off their back. there are always solutions and then some.

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.

Off topic but cannot resist:

I suppose Coach聽 the above does not apply to the UK channel 5 television programme we discussed on another thread a couple weeks back about nightmare tenants and landlords?聽

What??聽 聽
Do you claim there isnt a problem with tennants, who dont pay?

I had one myself (Rent-to-own buyer) who made both me and him lose by he didnt fullfil the contract, which would have been very good for him if he would have fullfiled it, but instead he screwed up so聽 it became a dept, which he coudnt pay me.
