How can a foreigner obtain permanent residency in the Philippines through marriage?

A: The Immigration Bureau has released an Immigration Bureau memorandum approved by the Minister of Justice, stipulating that children of foreigners who marry Filipinos can be granted permanent residency.

The Philippine Immigration Act allows Filipino spouses and children to acquire permanent resident status, but it is not clear whether the children of foreign spouses can acquire the same status as their spouses.

This provision will fill the gaps in legal policy in this regard. Filipino and foreign spouses unmarried children under the age of 21 can apply for permanent residence.
