Country overview
About Philippines
For clients in Pakistan, the Philippines is an investor-visa corridor. The programme we brief is SIRV / FIV. The figure is about USD 75,000 into qualifying equity. BOI is part of how these investments are usually framed. We do not add another dollar floor.
Relocate is yes. Incorporating a Philippine company is not SIRV and not FIV. We coordinate BOI-facing investment and licensed Philippine counsel.
This is not a digital-nomad product. Paper equity in a dormant vehicle is not SIRV. BOI lists and SIRV/FIV amounts change.
Requirements are set by the host government and are verified with licensed counsel before engagement. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
Who this is for
Designed for investors who can place about USD 75,000 into BOI-qualifying equity. A poor fit for treating a company certificate as the visa, or for a dummy corporation.
Timeline
BOI plus SIRV/FIV is typically several months after a complete subscription file. Dates are not guaranteed.
Programme rules, fees, and capital thresholds are set by the host government and change. Figures on this page reflect our latest review and are verified with licensed counsel before engagement.

Company formation
Forming a Philippines company is a separate mandate from residence. If the immigration plan requires a local entity, we coordinate that workstream on its own terms. Formation does not grant the right to live in Philippines.
