You can send it to Philippine Retirement Authority's account at Land Bank of the Philippines but it'll take time for it to be credited. Another option is to send the fees to TESZARA and TESZARA pays it on your behalf when we renew your SRRV at the PRA office. Please click here for the details.
4. Can I dispose my old passport where the original SRRV stamp is attached?

No, it's best to keep the passport since you need to submit the passport where the original stamp is attached if you cancel your SRRV. Additional documents will be required by PRA and Bureau of Immigration for failure to comply with this requirement.
