Retirement Visa Best Posts in Thread: Question about Military Courtesy Visa

You won't be getting a Military Courtesy visa until you are 50, don't even try to pay or offer a bribe. There is an SRRV retirement visa available for people at the age of 35 but I believe you need 50k in savings and proof of income (your disability check would likely cover that). The regular SRRV savings drops to around 25k(?) At the age of 50.

You can come on a tourist visa and stay for around 3 years at a time (renewing every 2-6 months), but you will have to make a visa run to another country after that time is up. There are no financial requirements for going this route, other than making sure you can afford the extensions and visa runs (along with your standard living/emergency expenses).

 

There are plenty of nearby countries that are worth taking a vacation to. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. These are all just a few hours away by plane and cheap flights and vacation spots. You can make the visa runs an enjoyable endeavor if you choose to. Filipinos can also enter these countries without much trouble, so if you find a significant other (that's worth your time) they can go along as well.

Best of luck with whatever route you plan on taking. Don't hesitate to ask anything here, we love to hear ourselves talk.
