Immigration
If you are planning to move to any foreign country, including the Philippines, you will need to deal with Immigration requirements. This would include obtaining a visa that will allow you to stay there for the period that you intend to stay (it could be short term, or for the rest of your life). Our immigration archives will give you a taste of what it is like to deal with the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines, and about being an Immigrant in general.
Doing Business
Unless you are already retired and have a pension or some other form of income, you will likely need to have some kind of way of earning money in order to live in the Philippines.
The Philippines is strict about business ownership. Some types of businesses cannot be foreign owned. Some types can be partially owned by foreigners. Our Business Archives will give you a feel for business in the Philippines and doing business in the Philippines.
