CORRECTION: I have published a new video titled “THE BIG MISTAKE “ where I address the correct definition of Passport Bros. Here… ua-cam.com/video/sWRUtT8lNoQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ZblObKP3VtIvZhNG
Excellent…you hit upon what is rare, not only on this subject, but what most people rarely practice in life…plotting and following a detailed solid plan of action. Your video presentation was laid out in a rational and easily understood manner on top of the very relevant and valuable information. This was an outstanding video.
@FlyMeToThePhilippines Yes, if you want a province girl. But lots of doctors, dentists, lawyers, bankers, entrepreneurs available and looking so go to fewer, but market rich areas.
Sound advice. Here in the US, I can pick up a girl in person, so I'm confident I can find a Filipina in person. I want a Province girl, with natural beauty, no make up, and not worried about Social media. I'm going off the beaten path when I get to the PH. Cheers!
Passport bro is not synonymous with "sexpat." It includes what you describe as "romantics." Great video, lots of information I found extremely helpful.
Thanks I’ve been called out on that a few times and check the urban dictionary and for sure doesn’t agree with my description. I edited the video and blurred out the essence six pad on the budget screens but I accidentally left one in and I’m trying to edit 1 second oh audio going forward.
Bro you nailed it when you said you'll notice one of their pics don't look the same, yep it's the one they didn't edit and that's what they really look like
Great info, Rob. Wow! You put a lot of work into this one. I like how you concisely packaged several options for travel including all of the necessary details into one video. This will be one of my reference videos that I refer to over and over when preparing for my trip to the Phils.
You are so right about the pictures. Sometimes when they post multiple pictures some don't even look like the same person. It's best to do a video chat for sure.
I really appreciate the info. Currently doing research for a potential trip to the Philippines in the future. Would have cost me hundreds of dollars through a consultation. For the same,if not, less info.
Jamie , we just stayed in this airbnb, perfect location in Cebu IT part - I would park myself here - lots of women www.airbnb.com/rooms/832399868909083931?viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76 🙏 Thank You
I have published a new video, titled the big mistake where I address the correct definition of passport, bro and I’ve also edited this video to the best of my ability to make a correction
I disagree. When I think of “Passport Bros”, they’re “EXACTLY”, the same group, and type of guys, they are, in the US. Only now, they’re coming to Asian countries, and doing the exact same thing. There’s a “Passport Bro”, in Japan, that’s posted UA-cam videos, bragging about doing it, over there. It’s only a matter of time, before he’s sleeping with the fishes…
Way to go, on a really great blog. This one was a grand slam, and you knocked it into the stadium parking lot, 😎😉👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼. You were extremely thorough, in describing the three types of guys that come to the Philippines, as well as the type of income they’ll need, to have a great time. Once again, congrats, please keep producing more blogs like this one, 👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😉😉👏🏼👏🏼.
@@petepinal8415I’m sorry you can’t seem to comprehend what has been defined a ton, you are wrong. It’s literally just a guy that leaves his country because there are better women elsewhere. It literally has nothing to do with sex.
Thank you. Great content. Vietnam in June. Kuala Lumpur in September for nomad conference. A lot of Asian travel in past. Hopefully on my way Q1 2025 for a “permanent” stay. I appreciate you and those who dedicate the time to blazing those trails. khob kun krap
I deeply appreciate the hard work you put into making this video so that I may get a much better understanding of my now Southeast Asian travel plan, never before have I found so many different ways to get around and some idea of what I can expect to spend and the time table needed to accomplish my goal. Thanks!!
@@Waynekingalin The budget I referenced for $125 per day assumes $75-80 per night for lodging. $200 assumes alcohol, daily excursions for two, transportation, restaurants and frequent moves between cities and countries. For example tour A el nido for two is $45 - other excursions in Thailand or Scuba will be more. I clearly stated that rooms could be found for 30-50 per night and if you adjust down from 80 per night you arrive at $100 per night. 80 per night baseline, plus excursions, plus night life /restaurants combined with frequent moves between cities and countries can easily add up to $200. My formula requires you adjust for lodging and alcohol. Thanks for watching
This is highly accurate info, well done, subscribed. Taking 6 - 12 months for my trip and just completed South America and have been in Thailand now for a week with the rest of Asia and then Europe upcoming. Will definitely be watching the rest of your videos.
I've been researching via UA-cam, relocating to Southeast Asia for quite some time now. I have no idea how I came across your video, but I'm so glad I did. After hearing the part of when you spoke about the importance of being proactive in terms of prospecting, I knew I was going to be subscribing to your content. In fact, I'm going to spend quite a bit of time going through all your videos. When you spoke about the importance of prospecting and being proactive, sending out 100 emails, I really thought I was listening to Gary Vee and/or Grant Cardone, lol. I'm so ready to put the work in and research, in preparing to put boots on the ground sir! Great video! It was extremely thorough and phenomenally comprehensive!! Thanks so much.
You are definitely an above average Vlogger. I’m really happy I came across the two of you. Keep up the good work and thank you for some really valuable tips.
Cebu City has just too much traffic for me and it’s a good place to reach sightseeing excursions in Cebu island and other place in the Visayas. Dumaguete has a boardwalk along the ocean, which is unusual. Most cities in the Philippines turn their back on the ocean, but it’s a small city, and they have trikes which are really cheap to get around so that’s nice maybe just way too many expense for me, I don’t need that many expense in town.
Hi Rob, I enjoyed your information. Some folk are saying your estimates are too high but I disagree. There are other costs such as travel insurance, parking your car at the airport, buying luggage etc. It all adds up. And, if they meet someone the costs are going to continue. I'm off in Feb, March and April to Thailand and the Philippines to find a place to chill or 6 months of the year- and maybe meet a lady but I will leave that to chance. To all the men who are going to do a similar thing...I wish you all well, it takes courage to make such a move, and if you are like me...a widower or someone who has gone through a divorce or generally disillusioned with your life or country- this is my message to you: Don't think of the cost of doing it but think of the cost of NOT doing it! Regardless of the outcome you have chosen an adventure...as you would have done when you were a young man. You have my respect.
Good advice. Its not going to go according to plan, but that doesn't mean its going to be a failure. The more professional the profile and photos the more of a red flag.
Thank you for both this video and the 1 year housing plan. While you focus on the Philippines and SE Asia, you offer a lot of general advice that would apply in a lot of other places your audience is likely to visit. Keep up the good work!
Hi Tony. Thank you so much for watching our videos and for taking the time to comment it helps the channel so much. I’d love the 90 day plan and the housing plan and I’m so happy that people like yourself are enjoying it.
Helpful, thanks! Edit: Was worth a 2nd viewing. Probably one more soon. You both look more beautiful with each video!. I'm looking at 30 days in the Phils just to - ahem - feel things out.
Liked and subscribed. Been doing trips to the Phil for over 30 years. You are talking to the rich. 30 days is ok and $3000 to $6000 is a workable budget. Good job. I just hope guys don't get discourage thinking they need $12,000. to travel. Cheers!
I liked and Subscribed !!! You covered most of the topics that have researched the last two years !!! And just recently did the Full Research on all the different and lengths of the Philippines Visas and their Laws and Culture !!! And their complete Geography memorized !!! Researching retirement and yet Dual-Citizenship to be reviewed !!! And I am single and know if in the future getting Married a Certificate of Non or No Married !!!
Excellent Video ! Im the passport bro and i have been doing this for 32 years. I normally stay 180 days per trip.. I know the ins & outs of these countries. Plus where to go & where to shop. I normally spend $800-$1500 per month. I dont waste and Dont buy Gifts ! Make the right contacts and the cost will go way down ! 😂
I went for 30 days visited 7 islands with a super nice lady aug/sept 2023. Total cost- $9k. Looking forward to the next trip, already booked my flight - $1200 as I will be returning in March 2024 for 30 more days visiting only 5 areas this time. 😁 luv the people there! Keep up the good work! 👍
Hey it's pretty obvious you and I are distantly related 😂. My favorite youtuber and probably the uncle of a 4th cousin. You are the only one who gives me step by step advice that will actually improve my relationships. You truly are the Uncle I wish I had. 😅
Great video, as an experienced Philippines traveler I agree with your assessment. Can’t wait to get back to the Philippines in January. Keep up the good work.
I think your total cost is really high I recently spent 30 days in the Philippines my total cost came to about 2,200 I skipped all the five-star hotels stayed in moderate hotels and visited five different cities and this included airfare
I heard that if you are honest upfront they respect if you are either serious , or as they say; a butterfly aka sexpat. But I don't think the label is fair when deep down inside you're more a romantic; but you truly want explore your options, and make the wise choice for a life partner.
Wish I had you for my tour guide ! I could not do all the planning and what's all is involved as you. Would love to go to Philippines about three weeks , but am not a world traveler. Would need a guide to know where to go and what to do. I be totally lost !! Much good extensive info you had for sure !!!
Awesome videos, Brother I am a new subscriber. Very informative. I’m looking to take a trip to both Thailand and the Phillipines. I am retired now and I’m more of the adventurer but I’d also like to find a good woman. I do not drink alcohol. And I’m not looking forward to spending every night in a bar even though I will check out the nightlife here and there if you know what I mean.
Rob, the term "Passport Bros" was not meant to describe sexpats or sex tourists. It was originally coined as the Covid travel restrictions were being lifted, by black men on TikTok & UA-cam who were suggesting traveling to other countries to get away from the toxic attitude of Western women who have unreasonable expectations from a man. The Passport Bros movement is intended to describe men who seek a more traditional relationship with a partner who are not feminist, self-absorbed, overbearing, combative partners. It has become a universal term for men of any race looking to find better a more accommodating, caring, compassionate partner.
lived there 82-85 and the term passport bros was used almost daily in reference to expats living there and male tourists tired of the stateside female attitudes.
Love the 90 days. I got 2 maybe 3 weeks airport gate to airport gate as a first timer to The Philippines. Would love your thoughts. My thought is no more than three cities. No idea which ones. As much as I would like to date my real purpose is boots on the ground to see where it is I would like to come back to as an Expat.
EXCELLENT! I've done ALL of this. We need more guys like you! I'm a bit ahead of this, 4th trip to the Philippines coming up. Fiancee visa is almost complete. Cheers! One last word, stay away from PAL & the Manila Airport. Bad experiences every time.
@@CptnSavage - Cebu Pacific is a good airline for Flying between cities once in the PI. They have pretty modern B-737s. Also, depending on your destination, a ferry of fast cat id a great option.
I wholly support your position. Always be prepared. Always plan. I met my Filipina wife in Hong Kong. We bought our first property in the Philippines a couple of years before we (she) decided to relocate (we have been together for 7 years and have children) and have since bought more real estate and have established a profitable business, as well as garnering income from renting out a couple of our properties. We came here more than prepared, with money in the bank, investments, as well as property. We planned for a couple of years. We didn't just come here with what seemed like a chunk of cash, which may seem a lot in the short-term but which will run out pretty quickly.
I didn’t really sense the pollution when I was a Makati and in BGC the lack of the horrible traffic in downtown Makati was so refreshing, I didn’t really sense the pollution
Really enjoyed your channel, found you to be a wealth of great information and tips. I plan on visiting the Philippines in the fall, is this a good time or would you suggest another? I'm middle aged and retired; I'm so bored and a bit lonely and figured it's time to take control and make myself happy, what do you think? p.s. I hope I'm not asking too much, or putting you on the spot. Thank you for your consideration.
Duke Mann the Philippines has two seasons the rainy season starts in early June and runs through November. The hot dry summer season goes from November through May personally, I like the rainy season you get a lot of shade. It only rains for an hour or two a day. nobody wears a jacket unless they’re on a motorcycle. Thanks for watching our videos. Feel free to email me at fly me to the philippines@gmail.com for any help you need.
Dud you done your homework. Man I am impresses, I will take your advice and go to Thailand first for three weeks then go to Philippines. For two. I love the way you think. How come the other 3 tubers didn't cover what you just did well they might have but I don't watch their special shows. Thank you sir very much.
I have a thought. I plan to travel around to rural areas and check out the local churches to find a gal that has the same values as i do. No messing around with her AT ALL! Totally plutonic and see whete it goes from there. From what i have learned, filipinas are very spiritual, and take GOD, FAMILY, AND LOYALTY very serious. I have NO PROBLEM with her mom or dad coming on any excursion we go on. Im interested in finding a loyal wife period. The beauty is a bonus.
I hope you have deep pockets, friend. The family will be expecting a lot out of you when you start off taking the parents on excursions, that you foot the bill for. The parents may claim they also need money to cover lost wages while going on a trip. Plus, if they have a Sari Sari, farm, whatever, they will need money to pay the person who is covering for them. You will start out as an ATM and the need for money will never end.
Thanks so much, Very Helpful Video. It’s our Responsibility to Filter Your Info😬👍🏼. I Saw an Expat Video where he was never there before. Sold everything - and Shot his one way Shot. I’m also inclined to arrive there. One time ? 3000 Plane Ticket . It’s a Financial issue. Any thoughts on that Approach. Thank You Rob!👍🏼Ive Just Recently Subscribed and enjoy Your Videos 💪🏼👊🏼✌🏼
WOW! WHAT A CHANNEL!!!!!! NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!!!! Finally a channel that helps me PLAN. 8 uave a LOT to do. Not even on a dating site yet, and dont want to be. I dont want the distraction right now. Just bought a semi last year and working on paying it off this year. I have very LOW debt. I have a plan to build good passive income state side i can draw on when i retire. Im 60 yo, so i have to really knuckle doen and focus on making myself marketable to a filipina lady. I am NOT interested in a 20 something bar girl. Im interested in a hard eorking loyal older filipina with no kids at home. Gonna be tough to find lol
I'm an explorer, a romantic, and a passport bro. Nice advice. But, unsure of how to approach it, because I love adventure, looking for romance, and want to see it all. Hopefully with a special friend.
I’m leaving in 6 days for my third scouting trip. This one is to Bali for 10 days then on to Cebu. I’ve only booked 2 hotels for 3 days each. One in Bali to acclimate to the jet lag. Then I’ll determine where to stay based on what I find I’d like to do. When I leave Bali I also booked 3 nights in Cebu. I’ll do the tourist stuff and then rent a car and explore the rest of the island and ferry over to other islands. This trip is 25 days. My girlfriend is joining me at the Manila airport so she will be with me the entire time. This is the first trip with just ourselves. Should be a picture into if we are compatible for a longer period without the kids to entertain.
I'm 640 Days from a 100% Pension. I'll be 63... Two years before I'm eligible for Medicare. My plan is to travel [or whatever] for two years so I'll be on Travel Medical Insurance... I have relatives in the Philippines, friends in Indonesia & Malaysia. My plan is to spend a couple weeks in about a dozen areas of the Philippines that interest me. If I acclimate, I don't plan on returning to the US to live.
That’s awesome thanks for watching and commenting. I retired at 62 and traveled roughly 5 months a year and used travel insurance for when I was out of the country. Once you get to be 65 on Medicare you’re covered for the first 60 days 80% as long as you check into a hospital in the Philippines you can buy an insurance plan it’ll cover you for $30,000 US for roughly $1500 a year or $1000 and that 750 that’s of $15,000 US but yet you get reimbursed. The travel insurance will have a higher level of coverage. You should plan to budget roughly 5 dollars per day for the travel insurance I use a company called safety wise.

Liked and subscribed. Been doing trips to the Phil for over 30 years. You are talking to the rich. 30 days is ok and $3000 to $6000 is a workable budget. Good job. I just hope guys don't get discourage thinking they need $12,000. to travel. Cheers!

What are the best months to visit as to weather? I'd like to miss the worst heat.
Avaid March 15 to end of May. December and January 👍
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines You're saying also avoid Dec & Jan?
The other "ber" months are good?
@@KutWrite no best months

Thanks. 🙏
08:30 In 1975, Makati was made part of Metro Manila.
I like Makati very cheap and easy to get to the airport no trikes on the roads very very nice
Hey it's pretty obvious you and I are distantly related 😂. My favorite youtuber and probably the uncle of a 4th cousin. You are the only one who gives me step by step advice that will actually improve my relationships. You truly are the Uncle I wish I had. 😅
That's awesome! maybe a brother from another mother
Great video, as an experienced Philippines traveler I agree with your assessment. Can’t wait to get back to the Philippines in January. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and hope to see you soon
Cool And Well Articulated Synopsis Of Philippine Travel And Exploratory Plans! Beautiful And Sexy Thumbnail!
Thanks
I think your total cost is really high I recently spent 30 days in the Philippines my total cost came to about 2,200 I skipped all the five-star hotels stayed in moderate hotels and visited five different cities and this included airfare
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching
Any Idea how much a private room at a hostel costs? In Colombia it was about $10-$11
@@davidlowery8601 similar, but I don’t know for sure
All Aboard. (Never fall in love with a Bar Girl)
I heard that if you are honest upfront they respect if you are either serious , or as they say; a butterfly aka sexpat. But I don't think the label is fair when deep down inside you're more a romantic; but you truly want explore your options, and make the wise choice for a life partner.
I hear you I’m struggling with whether I used the label correctly
Wish I had you for my tour guide ! I could not do all the planning and what's all is involved as you.
Would love to go to Philippines about three weeks , but am not a world traveler. Would need a guide to know where to go and what to do. I be totally lost !!
Much good extensive info you had for sure !!!
Thanks for your feedback
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome videos, Brother I am a new subscriber. Very informative. I’m looking to take a trip to both Thailand and the Phillipines. I am retired now and I’m more of the adventurer but I’d also like to find a good woman.
I do not drink alcohol. And I’m not looking forward to spending every night in a bar even though I will check out the nightlife here and there if you know what I mean.
Thanks for subscribing and for the positive feedback wish you the best of luck. Let me know if I can help.
Rob, the term "Passport Bros" was not meant to describe sexpats or sex tourists. It was originally coined as the Covid travel restrictions were being lifted, by black men on TikTok & UA-cam who were suggesting traveling to other countries to get away from the toxic attitude of Western women who have unreasonable expectations from a man. The Passport Bros movement is intended to describe men who seek a more traditional relationship with a partner who are not feminist, self-absorbed, overbearing, combative partners. It has become a universal term for men of any race looking to find better a more accommodating, caring, compassionate partner.
Yes, please check the pinned comment and also check my video called the big mistake where I address this directly in the video
lived there 82-85 and the term passport bros was used almost daily in reference to expats living there and male tourists tired of the stateside female attitudes.
A great addition to the Manosphere line up!
Welcome and thank you for sharing your thoughts
Love the 90 days. I got 2 maybe 3 weeks airport gate to airport gate as a first timer to The Philippines. Would love your thoughts. My thought is no more than three cities. No idea which ones. As much as I would like to date my real purpose is boots on the ground to see where it is I would like to come back to as an Expat.
Thanks for your support. You can send me an email at flymetothephilippines@gmail.com
Great vids. Do you have the suggested itinerary in a pdf doc?
Sorry no I don’t
EXCELLENT! I've done ALL of this. We need more guys like you! I'm a bit ahead of this, 4th trip to the Philippines coming up. Fiancee visa is almost complete. Cheers! One last word, stay away from PAL & the Manila Airport. Bad experiences every time.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your comment. I’ll keep my eye out for PAL
Okay.... new to all this. What is PAL? I'm sure it is a city or airport location but not sure which one. Thanks
@@CptnSavage Philippines, airline
Thanks mate. Now I really do feel stupid. LOL@@FlyMeToThePhilippines
@@CptnSavage - Cebu Pacific is a good airline for Flying between cities once in the PI. They have pretty modern B-737s. Also, depending on your destination, a ferry of fast cat id a great option.
I wholly support your position. Always be prepared. Always plan. I met my Filipina wife in Hong Kong. We bought our first property in the Philippines a couple of years before we (she) decided to relocate (we have been together for 7 years and have children) and have since bought more real estate and have established a profitable business, as well as garnering income from renting out a couple of our properties. We came here more than prepared, with money in the bank, investments, as well as property. We planned for a couple of years. We didn't just come here with what seemed like a chunk of cash, which may seem a lot in the short-term but which will run out pretty quickly.
Good Advice
Hello, great information. Could you recommend a dating site?
We met Filipino Cupid, full of challenges like others
Can You still taste the air in Makati?
I didn’t really sense the pollution when I was a Makati and in BGC the lack of the horrible traffic in downtown Makati was so refreshing, I didn’t really sense the pollution
Really enjoyed your channel, found you to be a wealth of great information and tips. I plan on visiting the Philippines in the fall, is this a good time or would you suggest another? I'm middle aged and retired; I'm so bored and a bit lonely and figured it's time to take control and make myself happy, what do you think? p.s. I hope I'm not asking too much, or putting you on the spot. Thank you for your consideration.
Duke Mann the Philippines has two seasons the rainy season starts in early June and runs through November. The hot dry summer season goes from November through May personally, I like the rainy season you get a lot of shade. It only rains for an hour or two a day. nobody wears a jacket unless they’re on a motorcycle. Thanks for watching our videos. Feel free to email me at fly me to the philippines@gmail.com for any help you need.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I appreciate the reply, you have been very helpful thank you.
What are you using for clip art & software? Looks great!
Storyblocks, Canva and DaVinci. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It really helps.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines good to know thanks!
Dud you done your homework. Man I am impresses, I will take your advice and go to Thailand first for three weeks then go to Philippines. For two. I love the way you think. How come the other 3 tubers didn't cover what you just did well they might have but I don't watch their special shows. Thank you sir very much.
Have fun! Thanks for the High compliment
Are you a pilot too? I like Plan the Flight and Pan the Flight!
No Doc I am not, but I traveled so much for business that I feel like I spent as much time as a pilot on an airplane
I have a thought. I plan to travel around to rural areas and check out the local churches to find a gal that has the same values as i do. No messing around with her AT ALL! Totally plutonic and see whete it goes from there. From what i have learned, filipinas are very spiritual, and take GOD, FAMILY, AND LOYALTY very serious. I have NO PROBLEM with her mom or dad coming on any excursion we go on. Im interested in finding a loyal wife period. The beauty is a bonus.
A very solid plan I think you could be successful without going to such measures, but certainly if you’re willing to do that you’re going to succeed
I hope you have deep pockets, friend. The family will be expecting a lot out of you when you start off taking the parents on excursions, that you foot the bill for. The parents may claim they also need money to cover lost wages while going on a trip. Plus, if they have a Sari Sari, farm, whatever, they will need money to pay the person who is covering for them. You will start out as an ATM and the need for money will never end.
Thanks so much, Very Helpful Video. It’s our Responsibility to Filter Your Info😬👍🏼. I Saw an Expat Video where he was never there before. Sold everything - and Shot his one way Shot. I’m also inclined to arrive there. One time ? 3000 Plane Ticket . It’s a Financial issue. Any thoughts on that Approach. Thank You Rob!👍🏼Ive Just Recently Subscribed and enjoy Your Videos 💪🏼👊🏼✌🏼
I think you can get a round-trip for $1200 from the West and every journey begins with a first step
WOW! WHAT A CHANNEL!!!!!! NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!!!! Finally a channel that helps me PLAN. 8 uave a LOT to do. Not even on a dating site yet, and dont want to be. I dont want the distraction right now. Just bought a semi last year and working on paying it off this year. I have very LOW debt. I have a plan to build good passive income state side i can draw on when i retire. Im 60 yo, so i have to really knuckle doen and focus on making myself marketable to a filipina lady. I am NOT interested in a 20 something bar girl. Im interested in a hard eorking loyal older filipina with no kids at home. Gonna be tough to find lol
Thanks for the positive feedback and for sharing your story. I think you’ll find your ability to be successful quite good.
I'm an explorer, a romantic, and a passport bro. Nice advice. But, unsure of how to approach it, because I love adventure, looking for romance, and want to see it all. Hopefully with a special friend.
Perhaps multiple trips are needed
I’m leaving in 6 days for my third scouting trip. This one is to Bali for 10 days then on to Cebu. I’ve only booked 2 hotels for 3 days each. One in Bali to acclimate to the jet lag. Then I’ll determine where to stay based on what I find I’d like to do. When I leave Bali I also booked 3 nights in Cebu. I’ll do the tourist stuff and then rent a car and explore the rest of the island and ferry over to other islands. This trip is 25 days. My girlfriend is joining me at the Manila airport so she will be with me the entire time. This is the first trip with just ourselves. Should be a picture into if we are compatible for a longer period without the kids to entertain.
Have a great trip
Bali you need a visa not worth it
@@snapper4u it was $35 and took 10 minutes. You get it right next to immigration. Very simple.
What dating apps or Websites you recommend ?
I don’t really recommend any. I’m at Chrissy on Filipino Cupid it’s full of scammers. We just have to have patience.
My foriegner visit me after a year being an LDR..
That’s awesome. I hope everything works out. Thanks for watching our video and sharing.
I'm 640 Days from a 100% Pension. I'll be 63... Two years before I'm eligible for Medicare. My plan is to travel [or whatever] for two years so I'll be on Travel Medical Insurance... I have relatives in the Philippines, friends in Indonesia & Malaysia. My plan is to spend a couple weeks in about a dozen areas of the Philippines that interest me. If I acclimate, I don't plan on returning to the US to live.
That’s awesome thanks for watching and commenting. I retired at 62 and traveled roughly 5 months a year and used travel insurance for when I was out of the country. Once you get to be 65 on Medicare you’re covered for the first 60 days 80% as long as you check into a hospital in the Philippines you can buy an insurance plan it’ll cover you for $30,000 US for roughly $1500 a year or $1000 and that 750 that’s of $15,000 US but yet you get reimbursed. The travel insurance will have a higher level of coverage. You should plan to budget roughly 5 dollars per day for the travel insurance I use a company called safety wise.
