beegee Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Hi I'm finally making headway to retire to the Philippines next year (Bacolod). I've been reviewing the PRA application process and whilst it seems fairly straightforward there's one part of the application form that bothers me - not only do they want your email address (no issue) they also insist upon being given the password (big issue). I know there are other ways to retire there but PRA seems the most practical in my circumstances, does anyone out there have experience of going through this process?

Never, ever give anyone (Except maybe your wife) your passwords to anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 For what possible reason would they need the password to your email account ...... if they insist open another email account that you don't care about and just dedicate it to them if you want to use their services ..... use it for nothing else ..... Gmail is good for that .... I have several accounts ..... 2 with Gmail ... 1 with HotMail and 1 with Yahoo the Yahoo gets all the garbage emails .... If you are talking about the Philippine Retirement Assoc. ..... please be sure you understand ALL the fees and what will be refunded and what won't ..... some people have been a bit surprised .....

Jollygoodfellow Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 not only do they want your email address (no issue) they also insist upon being given the password (big issue). That seems strange, are you sure that's what they are asking? Anyway you can do as Mike says or write in a false one and see what happens. Not sure if this is the form you are referring to but I see no place for password. http://www.pra.gov.p...r_Principal.pdf But if you are applying on line I think the password is for you to set up an account online so you can log in, not your Email password. Most likely even though its not explained I would think they will send you an Email with log in details and there you will need your password to go to your account online. I maybe wrong as only looked quickly. Online application. http://www.pra.gov.ph/main/srrv_form PRA website http://www.pra.gov.ph/ This might explain it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beegee Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks Guys, yes definitely what they're asking, it's a funny site all around it seems you need an SRRV number (no idea) before you can ask a question and you can only get that by submitting the application. I also tried the 24 Hour line - no reply. If I go with this I'll probably just set up a Yahoo account just for this purpose. Thanks for the tip on the Fees, I'm sure tehre will be hidden extras.

beegee Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks for checking it out, the password box is under the email address, but you may well be right. I'll proceed with caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i am bob Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Yup! Tom is right! You have to be able to log in (have an account) to ask questions online... The account is set up by your email account as your user name and then you input what-ever you want for your password. This keeps them from being spammed and all business as legit.
