Notice to Special Retiree's Retirement Visa (SRRV) Applicants


The Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) requires Korean citizens applying from abroad to submit a medical examination clearance from any licensed clinic or hospital physician in the Republic of Korea. The medical clearance form can be downloaded from the PRA website www.pra.gov.ph. The medical clearance issued abroad must have an English translation and authenticated by the Philippine Embassy in Seoul.

The PRA can also assist Korean applicants going to the Philippines to get their medical examination clearance in the Philippines as part of the Retirees Services and Assistance package. For other SRRV requirements, you may check the website or call the PRA hotline number at +63.2.848.1412 anytime of the day, seven days a week, for any question. The SRRV is a special non-immigrant visa which entitles foreigners to reside in the Philippines indefinitely with multiple entry privileges and benefits which include exemption from securing Special Study Permit or Student’s visa for child/children, among others.
