    1. I am an alien whose country has an immigration
    reciprocity agreement with the Philippines. I am
    also married to a Filipino. Am I qualified to apply
    for permanent resident visa?

    Yes, under the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940,


    Section 13 (a) you are eligible for permanent residency in
    the Philippines. This visa is issued to an alien on the basis
    of his valid marriage to a Philippine citizen.

    To qualify for this visa, the applicant must prove that:

    He contracted a valid marriage with a Philippine citizen.

    The marriage is recognized as valid under existing


    Philippine laws.

    There is no record of any derogatory information


    against him in any local or foreign law enforcement
    agency.

    He is not afflicted with any dangerous, contagious or


    loathsome disease.

    He has sufficient financial capacity to support a family


    and will not become a public burden.

    He was allowed entry into the Philippines and was


    authorized by Immigration authorities to stay.
