Special Investor's Resident Visa (SIRV)

For Foreigners investing $75,000USD

The Special Investor’s Resident Visa (SIRV) grants foreign nationals long-term residency in exchange for a qualifying investment of at least USD 75,000 in approved Philippine businesses or industries. The process has two tiers: an initial SIRV Probationary Visa valid for 6 months, followed by the SIRV Indefinite Visa once all conditions are met.

Foreign nationals who are at least 21 years old, of good moral character, and ready to invest in government-approved economic activities may apply for the SIRV, which provides multiple entry/exit privileges and permanent residency benefits in the Philippines.
