I have been asked several times about the requirements and general procedures in the processing of entry and stay for foreign students. Check out my next article soon!
Hi klaus it’s very good article for foreigners.But I like ask you
who is the best visa for foreigners if they like to stay
in philippines and what requirements need
regards
Hi Zois, thanks for your compliments. That’s very difficult to say. if you are lucky and met a wonderful Filipina woman and marry her, you might apply for a permanent residence visa thru marriage. If you are not lucky (like me 25 years ago!), you should try a business visa or a SRRV (special retirement visa). My advices are very superficial, because it’s hard to say, what would be the best for you or anybody else.
Hi klaus already I am married with filipina woman 29 years.
You tell me for pernanent residense visa the best for philippines you can explain to me and I wait you write
article for permanent residense visa and what requirements

I keep my Greek nationality. I no like to take philippine nationality for me. My wife she is filipina and have dual citizen now.
Hi Zois, thanks for stopping by again. In your case I would suggest to apply for a Non Quota Immigrant thru marriage (Section 13 para G, Philippine Immigration Act). Follow the explanations and steps as I wrote). Good luck again!
Hi Klaus you mean section 13 G
Yes Zois!

Hi Vincent, thanks for your long comment. You asked a lot of questions. Where are you living in the Philippines? You can contact our office here in Davao by just clicking CONTACT KLAUS. We would be happy to do the whole service for you. We could set an appointment to answer all your questions. Keep in touch.
Hi..
How much is needed for proof of financial capacity?
Hi Vincent, to answer your questions: If you don’t have any work right now, you should explain it, why. A letter of Application is very important, because you ’should show your desire and how it can be in reality”. Vincent, these documents re financial capacity are very easy to get, IF YOU provide the a
attorney with YOUR approved documents: income, pensions, savings etc. There is no maximum or minimum of proof of financial capacity. The more - the better. Can you submit land litle, regular income, savings etc.??
Vincent, I don’t know, how long it wil take re Bureau of Quarantine. My wife will accompany you and all applicants, if you apply here in Davao City, to all doctors and examinations. After this you might be able to compete your BI requirements. The seperate AIDS clarification can be done in Davao. Re nr. 11; both of you. (Meanwhile the checklist of requirements has been changed again!). Re Nr. 11 and 12; it’s both of you.
Hi Olly, there is no specified amount re your question; in my own experience; he more the better.
Thanks For Your Blogs Klaus

Hi CJ/CO, I think you are the same person. I will send you a personal email as soon as possible…
Hi again Klaus; I have heard on the grapevine that as long as the t’s are crossed and the i’s dotted there is not much of a problem with Philippines Immigration when it comes to letting Kano spouses have residency because they figure if we run out of money we will go home and get more. For example I have heard of Kano husbands with very humble tax statements having no trouble getting residency here because, basically a very humble income in the USA or elsewhere is a big income here. We are not going to compete with Filipino’s for jobs when a cleaner at home makes what a senior politician makes here.
Hi Chris, yep, you are right. Of course, you are very welcome here in the Philippines if your “financial proof has been successful”. Of course, not everybody can run home and get more. For those (including me) other measurements count. Doing some business here in the Philippines or being allowed to teach the German language like in my case (you see, it’s not a competition with any other Filipino teacher or professor) AND maybe receiving a monthly pension - and no Philippine authority will “send you home”… .
Thank You So Much Klaus
Sorry For The Miss Typing
