SRRV Application One Stop Shop

The SRRV applicants can now proceed to our new PRA One-Stop-Shop assistance and processing center at the 29th floor of Citibank Tower (PRA Office). Applicants may undergo the initial requirements compliance in the center such as the local NBI Clearance, Medical Examination and the like. Our help desk representatives are there to evaluate and verify the documents presented.

 

Once the documentary requirements are satisfied and the necessary fees are settled, the endorsement for the SRR Visa Application is prepared and transmitted to the Bureau of Immigration for approval. The SRR Visa normally takes 5 to 7 working days to get approved. After the approval of the SRR Visa, the PRA I.D. card is issued. This card serves as the Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) of legitimate SRRV holders which exempts them from the Annual Registration requirement, Exit Clearance and Re-Entry Permit, and the Application for the I-Card as required by the Bureau of Immigration
