Your wife can reacquire Philippine citizenship (under the dual citizenship law, i.e., the Philippine citizenship retention and re-acquisition act). That would also let you avoid the land size restrictions here.
I'd hold out for six hours straight, and then suddenly the gay energy would take over my body for the rest of the day.
Short answer: there isn't one. Starlink would be your best bet.
The biggest mistake people make here is thinking that as soon as you start a business, it will succeed right away. No experience No study of how to run a business No business plan No market research No product-market fit Jumping in without starting small and cheap Start by doing research on paper. You can easily filter out business ideas that are doomed to fail before spending a single dime.
That river is called the Kalalake River, and since sewage flowed into it, we also called it the 'Shit River.' It's just outside the main gate of the Subic Bay Naval Base, on the way to Olongapo (Gapo). The woman on the boat was called 'Indei' locally, and she was the one watching over the local kids who would dive into the dirty water to fish out coins that US sailors threw when they were out on liberty. 😢
This is my view from the ground. It sounded like a battlefield.
I hate to say it, but if you're used to gyms in the US, you'll be pretty disappointed with the gyms in the Philippines.
This is the final straw. I'm giving up on SRRV and going to Guam.
If you apply from abroad, you have to prove both. If you apply inside the Philippines, they don't ask about financial capacity, and proof of living together is only needed when converting to permanent residency in the second year.
Ask a relative or friend in the US to create a T-Mobile (or other carrier) account and add you as an authorized user. Then you can get a SIM or eSIM and set up billing.
I feel sorry for the Filipino people. If you can help, please do. Even small contributions from many people together can make a bigger difference than you'd expect. It may look like a huge advantage for foreigners, but is it really? Inflation will eat away all the extra money we're getting. Add gas and electricity costs on top, and there's not much left. (Yes, I know some people use solar power.) I hope the Philippine economy becomes stable. Poverty is a reality, and it's not good for anyone.
I like Manila Westin. It may not be the fanciest place, but they treat me really, really well. I've stayed there many times and the service has always been impeccable.
My husband receives four retirement pensions and none of them were affected. He also got the 13A permanent resident visa. That visa is just a privilege that lets you stay in the Philippines while married to a Filipino, and it has no effect on citizenship.
I'm a U.S. citizen and I went through a tough screening once. An Immigration officer interviewed me. I was a middle-aged single man with no apparent ties, so they got suspicious. Once I mentioned I had a Filipino partner, they seemed to ease up. Another time, I wrote "Have a house in the Philippines with a Filipino partner" in the box asking for the reason for extension, and that worked for years. Last year, when I was in Iloilo, I applied for an extension and wrote the same thing. But this time they asked for my ID and a photo of my partner, and I panicked. I quickly called my partner (who is in Bulacan), and she sent me a passport photo and a national ID with her picture. That satisfied them. But then they told me to bring a printout, so I did, and every time I had to show a printed photo. That was only in Iloilo, though. Recently, at SM North in Quezon City, they didn't care at all whether I had printed proof of my partner. I didn't need to say anything beyond having a Filipino partner and a house in the Philippines.
It must be for foreigners who have never used a toilet before.
I don't mean this negatively, but you're traveling to the Philippines during its busiest time of year. Traffic is going to be awful, and locals have already booked accommodations in the areas you want to visit. Pick one, or at most two, places to go. Puerto Galera: stay a few days at White Beach and a few days at Sabang. It's a few hours from Manila (Grab + ferry). This group is going to throw out a lot of ideas, but flying around between places will be a nightmare because of the crowded airports.
I've been using Wise regularly from Canada to the Philippines. Never had a single problem.
