Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV) has launched the Philippine Lifestyle Visa, a programme that offers global retirees and digital nomads a government-backed pathway to permanent residency through the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) while providing exclusive access to LLV's portfolio of resort communities. The programme covers properties including The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, The Nautilus at CaSoBe, and The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego.
The launch coincides with the Philippines being named the world's No. 1 retirement destination for 2026 by the Expatriate Group. Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay welcomed the ranking, noting the country's warm hospitality, affordable living, and quality services. PRA General Manager and CEO Bob Zozobrado described the recognition as a reaffirmation of the Philippines' growing reputation among retirees.
The Philippines was also named the Best Retirement Destination in Asia at the 2025 TripZilla Excellence Awards. Janine Huang, Head of Brand Experience & Hospitality Commercial at LLV, said the distinctions reinforce the country's appeal as a place to live well and feel at home.
LLV has a formal partnership with the PRA, meaning PLV holders are guided along a government-supported pathway to permanent long-term residency. The visa is distinct from the PRA's existing Special Resident Retiree's Visa (SRRV) in that it combines residency eligibility with lifestyle access.
At a recent luncheon hosted by the Business and Professional Women Ayala Makati Chapter, LLV gathered members of the diplomatic corps and business leaders to promote the programme. Joyce L. Benigay, Sales Director of LLV, said the company brings "Life on Vacation" into everyday living through communities where nature, wellness, leisure, and relaxation become part of daily life.
