I am married to a Phillipina in the USA before coming to the Philippines, I applied and recieved a 13a Permanent visa. I have live here in the Philippines (Davao City) 6 months now and found out about the SRRV visa and not sure if it is worth getting it. I have not found a side by side comparison of the 2 Visas.
I did send an application to be pre reviewed for the Classic SRRV visa and they said I have to downgrade the 13a permanent visa to a 9a tourist visa and submit other paperwork to include deposit of $10,000 US.
I already move our household goods from the USA and have a house here under my wife and myself.
We plan to travel 2 to 4 times a year as soon as the COVID-19 crisis is over.
I am just not sure if the SRRV visa is for me as I don't have a direct comparison between the two and what are the benefits one over the other.
Can someone help with the comparison of the 2 Visas with pros and cons of each? What would be your recommendation and why?
Thanks in advance for your help and input.
