Quota Immigrant Visa (13)
Under the reciprocity principle, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) grants Quota Immigrant Visa to foreign nationals whose countries have diplomatic ties to the Philippines and grant the same immigration privileges to Filipino citizens.
Every year, fifty (50) individuals are granted for a Quota Immigrant Visa. The special qualifications of the foreign national, such as high educational attainment, technical knowledge, unique experience, or exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, professions, or business that will benefit the national economy or be of national interest, are another preference for the Quota Immigrant Visa. Additionally, the applicant needs to have a sustainable investment that the BI Commissioner must authorize.
The principal’s dependents, such as spouses or minor children who are lawfully permanent residents of the Philippines, will be granted a Quota Visa.
