If I would go home for retirement or before retirement for good... i'll make sure I have enough savings to build a modern TinyHome with solar power grid..plus a sort of 4 to 6 doors rental apts. for income...I won't be receiving my SS there... but I'm ok with that, it would be nice if I would!

Just adding a few points for you all, when you live here you will find out much more on how to live. Dan put a great amount of effort and its really appreciated but there is some info which could be added. 1. The internet, if you opt for a fiber optic line you can wait about 6-8 weeks before it gets installed if you live in a semi remote area and you have to check if its possible. However for the power outages you just need to connect your wifi device to an alternative power source such as a solar battery and you are fine, however the real issue is when the internet provider has maintenance issues which last up to 1-3 days every 2 months or so. 2. If you decide to retire here and you want to live in a native style house, its much cheaper to buy some land a bit outside of the prime tourist areas and build it yourself. Land however is quite expensive here relative to distance to points of interest. If you aren't married to a local you can always rent land, just make sure you have done some price comparisons in the area without showing your foreign face because the price will go right up if they think you are a wealthy foreigner. 3. If you do build but you want some western luxury (i.e. Aircon) build a small bedroom good for a half HP inverter type aircon and for the rest use fans. 4. If you enjoy outdoor living remember to build a big deck. However keep in mind the termites are ruthless here, its far more economic in the long term to have your structure mostly made of concrete or any material that isn't affected too much by humidity, saltwater, termites etc. 5. You can import food from Puerto Princesa and save some money if you need to feed a big family, prices of food are very high in El Nido and all your canned goods, cereals, frozen items, etc (not fresh) are best in price if bought in Puerto Princesa City. 6. Don't buy furry dogs like chow chows or huskies, its just too hot for them and they end up becoming a burden. They can survive in the heat but they also have a chance to die from heatstroke. Get a local askal(mutt, local dog) instead and feed it your leftovers and it will be your loyal buddy and alarm system. 7. Adapt to the local culture, just accept it for what itnis, its not going to change no matter how much you complain. If Filipinos want change they will do it themselves. Just go with the flow amd enjoy the ride. 8. Make sure you can drive a vehicle, foreigners do not usually get great rates with tricycles and locals often are ignored by the drivers because they want to earn more especially now with the higher gasoline and diesel prices.

Maybe if you guys have a plan to stay in the Philippines a little bit longer, you guys might want to try to go Ilocos norte, because there are some more beaches to explore and maybe cheaper there, but more .quiet places. They have a sandunes, Pagud Pud beach, white rock formation and more to explore. Batangas Province also have nice beaches with floating cottages. Philippines is surrounded with water and that is where the ring of fire is sitting. The country is fitting for people who loves water and diving.

Yes, El Nido is a beautiful place and it's a great place to spend some time and discover the amazing natural beauty in the vicinity, I do agree. But is it a good place to retire and most of all is it a good place to retire for elderly people? I doubt it. In case of a severe health emergency El Nido is a pretty risky place to be and no adequate help can be provided. If one is not in a position to fly out to Manila, there is no hope and life might end right there in a health disaster. In my opinion El Nido is not well suited for permanent retirement especially not for elderly people with pre-existing health problems. In that case El Nido, even whole Palawan island is not a good choice. In the Philippines only in major cities one can find decent hospitals with quality health service. If western quality health care is important pretty much all over the country I would rather retire in Thailand not in the Philippines. And there are other reasons why in the Philippines El Nido might not be first choice for retirement. El Nido is a very small place, it's a small town with walkable distances and there isn't much distraction what so ever. Beautiful scenery, ok, a great place for holidays o.k. but there are no malls, no movie theaters, etc. and there is not much social life except for some tourist restaurants and a couple of places to hang out. So after some time El Nido might become a very boring place for living or retiring permanently.

I try to go home every other year. Great question John Miller, I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance. What I do about health care: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/ Report where I search for health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/best-health-insurance-for-ex-pats-in-philippines/ By the way, once you search for health care you will start seeing more offers for health insurance and travelers insurance when you are online. Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan

I've been to El Nido a few years ago and after the initial few days it was boring. There is very little to do when you've done all the boating, swimming etc. Getting a bus from Porta Princess was terrible due to poor roads, it was full of chickens, pigs and bags or rice. There are cockerel's crowing all day and it gets annoying, the market is covered in flies, water is on and off like electricity. There are no medical facilities so its bad if you have an accident or illness. Retiring there is a no no, but ok for a visit.

@@pablokoz7497, a bit of advice. I was married to a Filipina, but she passed away last year. Remember, you are only a guest there. You have no rights and they can deport or imprison you for anything you may say or do against their government. Don’t let anyone bait you into political or social topics. Always be polite and don’t push their buttons or agree to their complaints. Anyone can turn you in. Always praise and compliment their country. Another thing, do not invest in any property there. Any property you buy has to have a Filipino’s name on the title, as well, as you are not a natural born Filipino or have Filipino heritage. If you survive your wife, you have to find someone else to put their name on the deed. They in turn can hire a shyster lawyer and sign the deed right from under you. A lawyer can represent you knowing you won’t win the case and charge for his services. Always be wary of people around you. They will smile while ripping you off. If you want to stay there, rent the property. No hassles. Take care.

You might need $1141 a month now, but with current inflation in 5 years time you might need $2000 a month to live the same.

Time to add to my 42 countries. Why would anyone retire in the US.? I loved the many years spent living and working in foreign countries. I’m retiring to travel in October with a monthly budget of $7,000+. Farewell overpriced U.S. and hello minimalist travel lifestyle.

What am I missing, I understood the Philippines only allow for foreigners to stay for 60 days. I was told they no longer have a visa for retirees? Maybe there is a way around this requirement? If so can you explain? Thank you

Ron Albright, Although Visa rules can change at anytime, so you have to do your own research on this. But at the time I wrote the below report, here is why we decided to not get a retirement visa in the Philippines. The short story is that if you are from the visa free countries, you can extend your tourist for up to 36 months. Here are the details at the time we did the research: vagabondbuddha.com/retirement-visa-in-the-philippines-do-you-need-one/ Best, Dan

That would be terrible as an American citizen who earned his pension for them not to give it to him because he went somewhere.
