MOVING TO THE PHILIPPINES

Many Europeans relocate to the Philippines, drawn by the unique mentality of Filipinos. If you’ve decided to make this West Pacific island nation your new home, it’s wise to learn about entry requirements and relocation considerations early on. For entry, Europeans often travel to the Philippines without a visa, allowing a maximum stay of 30 days. For an extension to 60 days, a fee of 3,550 pesos, approximately 70 euros, is required.

Extending the stay permit every 60 days for a year incurs fees of 23,120 pesos, around 450 euros. However, those considering moving to the Philippines should be aware that both entry and visa extension rely on the goodwill of authorities. It’s essential to pay attention to appearance alongside required documents. Being married to a Filipino citizen simplifies obtaining a permanent residency permit, which can be applied for at the embassy or with the assistance of a local lawyer.
