Living, working and retiring in the Philippines

The Philippines is still unsoiled by human greed. Many of its places have a touch of virginity around them. The voice of the country is very gentle. In places, silvery white sands stretch into long miles and turquoise blue water embraces you with its warmth. In other places, it’s the hospitality of the citizens that wins you over. Your visit to the Philippines does not require a visa unless you are planning to stay for more than three weeks. Visas are not a huge issue as the Bureau of Immigration is more than eager to help you out. People love to find work in Philippines as English proficiency is perhaps among the very best in Asia. Because it has a relatively undersubscribed economy, it can still afford to offer a decent lifestyle to its people at a low cost. It is hard to believe but well- embellished rental homes are put on offer at a throw-away price. Cheap homes with amicable and equally cheap maids make your stay a lot easier. Even transport can be relished at the prices they come. Foreigners readily vouch how Philippine offers them the best that nature as well as concrete can offer. Love works its way into a foreigners’ heart. This is the chief reason for such high immigration levels. Foreigners stay in Philippines with different plans. It can be quite well spread. Few may decide to be investors; others with high budgets can plan out venture capitalism. Especially those retiring here after years of labor in the western countries can well afford a venture cap set up. Normal investors who are retired or half-retired look to set bars and nightclubs in Philippine. There are others who came here merely for some idyllic enterprise and found the place to be an ultimate haven. These people, needless to say, retired here and live happily. Loyalty from maids, cooks, nurses and midwives are of the highest order. These are again blessed with the fabric of hospitality and nurses tend expats with a lot of care and delight. It makes retiring in Philippines a lot of fun. Philippine happens to be a country perpetually under fiscal crunch. As an expat in the Philippines, all you need to do is make the right investments and than sky certainly becomes the limit. Tourists in Philippines have to go through the visa Philippine processes first. Visa can now let you enjoy 16 instead of 12 months of true Philippine experience if you are a foreigner. The Bureau of immigration has found out that few tourists are prolonging their stay. Having said this, BoI wants tourists to seek the virtues of the place and they hardly mind the pleasant onslaught of tourists.
