SEC 13 Visa | Quota Visa Philippines
The SEC 13 Quota Visa is one of the most exclusive and prestigious immigration options for foreign nationals seeking permanent residency in the Philippines. Following a temporary suspension in early 2025 to review eligibility standards, the program has been fully rehabilitated with a renewed focus on attracting high-value contributors to the nation’s economic development.
Granted to only 50 individuals per nationality per year, the Quota Visa is reserved for applicants from countries that maintain reciprocal immigration agreements with the Philippines. While the suspension triggered rumors of extreme financial hikes, the program resumed operations in May 2025 with a stabilized and official inward remittance requirement of $100,000.00, ensuring that the limited annual slots are awarded to committed investors and professionals. This status provides a lifetime right to permanent residency, complete with multiple-entry privileges and the freedom to settle, work, or retire long-term.
Asia Relocation Philippines specializes in navigating this newly updated immigration landscape with efficiency and discretion. With deep expertise in the post-2025 SEC 13 Quota Visa regulations, our team provides high-touch support for professionals, retirees, and high-net-worth individuals, ensuring a smooth and compliant transition to your new life in the Philippines.

SEC 13 visa Process
The Quota Visa is a premier residency option for foreign nationals seeking a permanent future in the Philippines. This exclusive status includes the following key features:
Processing Time:
The approval process for a Quota Visa typically takes up to 3 months. During this period, the Bureau of Immigration performs comprehensive document verification and background security checks. Our dedicated team at Asia Relocation provides proactive updates at every stage to ensure a seamless experience.
Multiple-Entry Privilege:
Holders of a Quota Visa enjoy full travel flexibility with multiple-entry privileges. This allows you to travel internationally and re-enter the Philippines at your convenience without the need for additional entry visas.
Mandatory Annual Reporting:
To maintain valid residency, Quota Visa holders must participate in the Annual Report. This legal requirement must be fulfilled within the first 60 days of each calendar year (from January 1 to March 1) at designated Bureau of Immigration offices or through authorized virtual platforms.
Integrated ACR I-Card Issuance:
The Quota Visa application is processed simultaneously with the Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) I-Card. Once your visa is approved and stamped, you will be issued an ACR I-Card, which serves as your official residency ID. For permanent residents, this card is typically valid for 5 years and is renewable.
