1. Application requirements for investment immigration to the Philippines (simplified version)

The Philippines has a lenient investment immigration policy, with the following core conditions: there is no need for a domestic no-criminal record certificate, and only a local no-criminal record certificate from the Philippines is required[1]:

• Investment requirements: Deposit the corresponding amount of US dollars (see the fee details for the specific amount) into the bank designated by the Philippine Investment Immigration Office. The funds can be used to purchase Philippine funds, stocks, or invest in companies, but cannot be used for other purposes such as purchasing property;

• Identity and rights: After obtaining immigration status, one can legally work in the Philippines without the need for additional work permits. Children can enroll in schools as local students, and overseas Chinese students can return to China to take the college entrance examination. This status can be passed down through generations, and after 10 years of obtaining the status, there is an opportunity to apply for naturalization;
