The Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA)

The services of the PRA help facilitate the process of retirement in the Philippines for the prospective retiree. Among the services that the PRA provides are the airport greet and assist service, a 24/7 hotline ([+632] 848-1412), assistance service in obtaining government documents, among others.

Aside from the PRA, retirees can also find support in the retirees associations organized by other retirees who have chosen the Philippines to be their second home. Some of these are:

PRA Japanese Club

--a non-profit organization established by Japanese nationals who are holders of the Special Retiree Visitors Visa (SRVV). This organization aims to foster camaraderie and cooperation among the Japanese senior citizens here in the Philippines, and is officially recognized by the Japan Embassy in the Philippines.

EURAMA Association

--a gathering of retirees from Europe and the Americas (North and South) that aims to serve as a forum to discuss matters relating to PRA and SRVV.

United Korean Community Association, or UKCA

--the umbrella organization of 17 functional associations and 20 regional communities of Koreans in the Philippines. The association aims provide relevant information, social welfare and protection, as well as familiarity to all its members.
