Living in Makati

The Philippines' original financial hub with excellent walkability in neighborhoods like Salcedo and Legaspi Village, where you'll find upscale dining, international schools, and top hospitals within walking distance. English is universal here (the Philippines' biggest advantage for American expats), keeping daily life frictionless. It's the priciest area in the Philippines but still very affordable by US standards, with modern condos and a large expat community.

Island-hopping on weekends, karaoke as a national religion, and a Filipino hospitality so genuine that you will be adopted by your neighbor's entire extended family before your first month is over.

Visa

SRRV (Special Resident Retiree Visa) — available from age 40+. Requires $15,000-50,000 deposit depending on age and pension status. Grants indefinite stay with multiple-entry privileges. SIRV (Special Investor Resident Visa) — requires $75,000 investment in Philippine securities. No age minimum. Both offer permanent residency.

Key Fact

English is an official language and widely spoken — making the Philippines the easiest Asian country for American expats to navigate daily life. Private healthcare is excellent and affordable, but infrastructure outside Manila can be underdeveloped.

Next steps for moving to Philippines

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
