Moving from Philippines to India: BIR + SSS
Form 2316 exit proof, BI ACR cancel, SSS/PhilHealth export, and PHP wire to NRE.
The 60-second version
Philippines exit starts with employer BIR Form 2316 and SSS clearance. I cancel ACR I-Card, close PHP bank, and wire to NRE before India landing.
Form 2316 is your Philippines tax exit proof
Philippines taxes resident citizens on worldwide income — I obtain BIR Form 2316 from employer and file departure-year return if required.
SSS and PhilHealth contributions stop on last day — export member data record for India records.
ACR I-Card cancellation at BI for long-term foreign residents; 9G work visa cancel via employer.
