Philippines FIV
Sponsor
The Philippines has quietly introduced a new permanent residency by investment program, processed under the authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (FAB), a special administrative zone in the greater metropolitan Manila area.
The new FAB-Investor Visa (FIV) program offers a streamlined, faster, and digital-first alternative to the country’s legacy SIRV program, which has been in place since 1987.
Key features of the FIV program
The wait time for FIV is only about one week, and investment requirements are as low as a fixed deposit of US$75,000 through FAB-approved partners. There are no minimum stay, intrusive net worth, or real-estate purchase requirements. Approved FIV residents can live, work, or study anywhere in the Philippines.
FIV applicants can add their spouse and dependent children to the application with no extra investment requirement.
FIV-approved permanent residents can naturalize and become Philippines citizens after fulfilling naturalization requirements. The Philippines is one of the only countries in East Asia that allow dual citizenship, making it the most diverse and welcoming country for foreigners.
Application process and global accessibility
The program is open to all nationalities, including Russians, Israelis, and Taiwanese, underscoring the Philippines’ support for global citizens facing adverse circumstances.
The procedure is effortless, consisting of just six steps, and the FIV’s streamlined process sets it apart from the SIRV and other Southeast Asian residency by investment programs.
The steps are:
- Schedule a consultation
- Sign the agreement and prepare the documentation
- Make the payment
- Application submission
- Preliminary approval
- Take an oath in the Philippines
The FIV remedies the SIRV’s most significant issues – long waiting times and complex follow-up procedures – to produce one of the best and simplest residency by investment programs worldwide.

The perfect program and the ideal destination
The Philippines FIV Permanent Residency Program offers a unique and attractive opportunity for those seeking a new home in a welcoming, diverse, and dynamic country.
The FIV program’s streamlined application process, minimal investment requirements, and extensive benefits make it an ideal choice for investors, retirees, digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and global citizens looking to enjoy a stunning country with a warm climate, friendly people, and an affordable lifestyle.
The country’s strategic location, growing economy, and business-friendly environment make it an excellent base for exploring and investing in the vibrant Southeast Asian region.
It is also one of two English-speaking Southeast Asian countries (the other being Singapore), making integration into the community much easier. As a former American colony, the Philippines has a strong affinity for American culture and the English language, which is used in business, education, and government.
By obtaining permanent residency through the FIV program, individuals can take advantage of the Philippines’ numerous attractions, from its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage to its thriving business scene and attractive investment opportunities.
With the ability to live, work, and study anywhere in the country, FIV residents can fully immerse themselves in the Filipino way of life and enjoy a high quality of living at a fraction of the cost of many Western countries.
