〈Questions Regarding the Application Process〉
Q. What are the costs for a child born after the residence permit has been obtained?
A. Regardless of whether the child is born in Taiwan or the Philippines, within the standard unit (a family of three), the fee for this child is only one hundred US dollars. If it exceeds the standard unit, in addition to the one hundred US dollars, the bank remittance amount must add an additional fifteen thousand US dollars.
Q. How to replace a lost gold card?
A. First, report the loss to the police station, then publish a notice, and with this data along with the original documents, request a replacement.
Q. What is the remittance procedure?

A. This is where our company differs from others; we can complete everything in three days and two nights, demonstrating our professionalism.
Q. If there is already an investment locally, how can the SIRV be converted to SRRV?
A. First, consider the age issue; if over 35 years old, the feasibility is very high. As for those who already have investments in the Philippines, they can first remit US dollars into a fixed deposit in the Philippines for six months, and then convert the real estate into local deposits, at which point the funds in the account can be released.
Q. If there are deposits in the Philippines, can they be directly converted by a local bank?
A. Basically, it is possible, but to ensure your rights, there may be disputes regarding whether this money is foreign exchange in the future, as the Philippines is a foreign exchange control country. You must have remittance proof to demonstrate that your money entered the Philippines through legitimate channels; otherwise, it may be difficult to withdraw your investment in the future.
Q. Why do I need to go to the Philippines to handle the procedures?
A. The purpose of going to the Philippines is to convert a tourist visa into an immigrant visa, not for reporting or interviews.
〈Conditions Required for Processing〉
Q. Besides money, medical examination, and police clearance, are there any other conditions for the main applicant?
A. There are no other conditions, but if there are issues with the police clearance, please come to our company to discuss the problem in detail and negotiate a solution.
Q. Does polio disqualify someone from passing the medical examination?
A. Polio is not classified as a contagious disease, so it meets the standards. However, if a person requires assistance from others to move freely, they do not meet the standards.
Q. Can individuals from mainland China apply?
A. Yes, as long as the main applicant has a passport, birth certificate, and other relevant documents from mainland China, they can apply.
〈Safety - Including People, Remittance, Legal Basis〉
Q. How should the deposits remitted to the Philippines be planned?
A. The fixed deposit can only be accessed after six months; it can be converted for investment in purchasing a house, stocks, or business, but the Retirement Authority (PRA) must be notified thirty days before withdrawing the deposit.
Q. If I want to convert for investment, how much can I access?
A. You can access all or part of it, but once converted for investment, an inspection tax must be paid annually, approximately five percent of the interest income.
