Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.
Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

I wonder if this allows ..retiree visas to return now ? SRV visas from the Philippines Retirement Authority .
Just because your married what does that matter. You can’t have covid if married? Open up if you are fully vaccinated and test negative. Simple…
I won’t consider them really open until they lift the travel cap. Not sure I would fly in before then even if I could get a visa. Any easing of the restrictions is still good news.
There was some variation on quarantine time if you flew into Cebu, rather than Manila. I’ll have to see if that is the case still.
Thanks for clearing it up for us Reekay. You made it crystal clear……….I love your explanation and it reminds me all the time why I subscribe.
Hello Reekay..Thank You for the update . I hope to return yet this year. This news seems like there might be some light at the end of the tunnel ..
I would not consider going to the PH unless I was vaccinated. Not worth the risk of coming up positive. Especially a false positive, if you have proof of vaccination by a good vaccine (Moderna or Pfiser) then if you tested positive, you could argue for a re-test.
My thinking is NO Tourist this year.. They want to use the vaccine first. But it is slower than a Turtle ! Next year is my guess.
Does it also allow foreigners who have a filipino dependant child in on the exemption tourist visa that was also banned at the same time back in March?
Want no part of the beaurocracy there after seeing your last video Reekay. México and Colombia in 2021 for me
I also seen where they are doing Motion For Reconsideration for those that have overstayed their tourist visa. They will extend it anywhere from 30 days to 120 days. The 30 day extension is if you are planning leaving the Philippines. The 120 day extension is for those planning on getting married and getting a marriage visa. The cost is around $1,000.
Is an S-Pass required?
Pretty well back to the way it was before
Thank you for the update: I am married to a Philippine and will travel with her. Supposedly I the past week for those that arrived in Cebu, Philippine citizens they did the test in the Airport then people had a one to two day quarantine until they got the test results then they could be done. It seems weird that they are requiring 7 day quarantine for some and one to two days for others. John Yamas
After watching your last video im holding out until there is no 7 day quarantine lol that was a horror story.
They need to keep it shut down, just take a look at India.
Still it’s very strict unless you already have a visa.
I’m happy with the fact that they are going to start accepting SRRV applications
When you talk about “VISA” is this a special Visa??? Because I am Dutch and normally don’t need a visa to enter the PHP and Yes I am married to a Filipina. Can you clarify this? Thanks….greetings from Aruba
After watching your video of your trip to California…. No gracias Reekay…. too many troubling questions to deal with to consider a trip to the Philippines or just about anywhere overseas… especially with the terrible news coming out of India!!!
if you stay in a 5 star hotel for 7 days its no that bad as long as you can enjoy the facilities like the pool and food buffet
Thank you sir for the update, and hope you and Vi are doing well, and your mom is feeling better. My wife and I will continue to keep you all in our prayers.
God bless, Jay & Gladys
So, This 7 day quarantine will still apply to those of us, that have had the Covid Vaccine?
Good piece of news, thank you Henry! Open to visitors would be appreciated!
Sir thanks for your insight.
May 10th resume Ssrv (veterans ) buddy (sir) thankyou
It’s a small step in the right direction
The Bureau of Immigration has misinterpreted the IATF announcement, and are requiring a DFA exemption for 9A visas which is basically the same as we have been under the temporary ban.
Progress is still progress. I’ll take it.
