Who can join

PRA lists a legally married spouse and unmarried legitimate or legally adopted children below 21 at application. “Below 21” excludes a child who has already turned 21. Review age and document timing before setting a filing date.

Count dependents, including the spouse

The standard deposit certificate covers the principal and two dependents. A spouse counts as one dependent. Each additional dependent adds $15,000 to the deposit, subject to the former-Filipino exception. Every joining dependent has a $300 application fee, including the first two.

Worked family examples

Principal plus spouse plus one child: two dependents. The standard deposit covers them; two dependent application fees total $600.

Principal plus spouse plus two children: three dependents. Add one $15,000 deposit increment and three $300 application fees, totaling $900.

Principal plus spouse plus three children: four dependents. Add $30,000 to the standard deposit and $1,200 in dependent application fees. These examples assume a standard foreign-national route; former-Filipino exceptions need separate confirmation.

Prepare one evidence set for each person

Use passports and authenticated marriage, birth or adoption records showing the relationship to the principal. Confirm spelling, previous names, translations and any custody evidence needed for the family. Police and NBI requirements apply to dependents aged 18 and above under the checklist.

Confirm schooling, insurance and accommodation for every family member before the move. SRRV status and benefit eligibility are separate questions.

Budget for annual obligations

PRA’s annual fee covers the principal and two dependents: $360 for Classic, $100 for foreign-national Courtesy. Each additional dependent adds $100 annually for Classic or $10 for Courtesy. Former-Filipino Courtesy has its own annual schedule. Keep these fees separate from private support membership.
