What do I need to know before retiring in Manila?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Manila, they said...

"Be patient. Learn the language, or some anyway. Don't rush to judgement, better often to reserve your opinion. Muck in with the real locals to learn the real Manila," remarked another expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.

"Before retiring in Manila, expats should research the cost of living and the availability of healthcare services. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. Additionally, expats should consider the safety of the area they plan to live in and the availability of transportation. Finally, expats should research the visa requirements for long-term stays in the Philippines," explained one expat living in Manila, Philippines.
