The Philippines’ FIV program offers fast-track residency for global investors with a $75K investment, no stay requirement, and family inclusion—gaining strong interest across Europe for its simplicity and benefits.
Mariveles, Bataan, Philippines, 4th Jul 2025 – Metropolis Gateway today announced the rollout of the Philippines’ Foreign Investor Visa (FIV) program, a residency-by-investment initiative introduced in 2024. Administered by the Freeport Area of Bataan (FAB), the FIV is designed to provide qualified foreign nationals with a streamlined path to permanent residency in the country.
Since the program’s introduction, over 400 interviews have been conducted with applicants from more than 50 countries. The visa is open to all nationalities, reflecting the Philippines’ commitment to inclusivity and international cooperation.
The FIV serves as a digital-first alternative to the long-standing Special Investor’s Resident Visa (SIRV), offering improved efficiency for foreign nationals seeking long-term residence. Applicants are required to make a fixed investment of USD $75,000 through an FAB-accredited partner. Unlike other investment visas, the FIV does not require a minimum length of stay, proof of net worth, or real estate purchase.
Application Requirements:
To apply for the FIV, applicants must submit:
- Valid passport (minimum 6 months before expiration)
- Accomplished FIV application form
- Proof of the USD $75,000 investment through an accredited partner
- Proof of a Clean Criminal Record from the Applicant’s Country of Residence
- Birth certificate (and marriage certificate if applying with spouse)
- Proof of relationship for dependent children (if applicable)
All documents not originally in English must be officially translated and authenticated.
Key Program Features:
- Permanent residency pre-approval in as fast as one week from full submission
- No mandatory physical presence or minimum annual stay requirements
- Ability to live, work, and study anywhere in the Philippines
- Spouse and dependent children can be included without additional investment
- Optional naturalization pathway under Philippine law
The Philippines offers practical advantages for foreign residents, including widespread English use in education, government, and business. Infrastructure development continues across major urban centers such as Manila, Cebu, Davao, and Bonifacio Global City (BGC), with increasing access to modern transport, healthcare, and communications services.
Metropolis Gateway provides administrative support to FIV applicants, assisting with document preparation, coordination with relevant authorities, and post-arrival services.
