    Some members of this Forum are very well placed to advise you on obtaining an SRRV - my limited experience is e-mail contact with an agent here in the Philippines whilst I was still abroad and being told all the processing could be done before my arrival with just a visit to a PRA office in Manila upon arrival.

    But take @Rye83 advice and take your time - most organisations here are staffed by people with contradictory requirements, a love of bureaucracy, not well educated and a desire to make life difficult for foreigners as they want the money from them but not the wise input (which they term 'interference').

    When you come in a couple months rent an apartment. Ask your landlord for the address. If they require an address this is about all you can (legally) do.

    Things take longer in the Philippines. Don't expect anything to be done in a timely manner and don't try to rush anything. It will only cause problems and additional stress for you. You will be retired soon, you have nothing but time. No rush to get anything done.

    I arrived in December and completed my application for SRRV December 19. I received my passport , SRRV, and ID a couple of days ago. I also agree that it's best to just wait until you get here. Some agents charge you an extra fee to process your application and some don't. Careful who you choose. My agent cost me nothing. Will answer any questions about my process that you may have.
