Some visa needs you to put a large amount of money in the bank and you cannot widthraw it as long as your in the program, hence if you withdraw you are no longer a holder of permanent residence visa. You can widthdraw but you need to invest it in a business what if your business closed because of economic instability of this country.. you will lose your visa and go back again to tourist.

The other visa which allows you to hire a (10) ten Filipinos to your business and you can apply permanent. You need to pay their SSS, Philhealth, Medicare etc. What if you dont meet a qualification of a good employer?then the Filipino filed a complaint in Department of Labor and Employment and in National Labor Compensation Commission...... you will lose again the visa.

Hello guys, I just arrive from BI-Manila, For your info, there are 2 kinds of 13(a)

13(a) Non-quota visa- married with a Filipino wherein you will have a Probationary Visa first then after 1 year you can get Permanent Residence Visa
13(a) Quota- as what I explained (see above explanation)

Thanks

 

Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) falls to 13(a) also for nationals like Indians, Taiwanese, Chinese

 

I see, there are no explanation in the Phil. Imig website bout the 13(a) Quota Visa. Maybe they are not updated because they are promoting the SVEG program now.

 

It is up to date and pretty clear.

A 13 visa is a quota visa, that of which you speak. (Notice, there is no "A" after 13)

A 13A visa is a resident NON QUOTA visa available for those married to a Filipino.

A 13A TEMPORARY is a resident NON QUOTA visa issued to those who apply for 13A status from within the Philippines, which is converted to a PERMANENT 13A NON QUOTA visa after one year.
