What do I need to know before retiring in Davao?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Davao, they said...
"Before retiring in Davao, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally lower than in other parts of the country. They should also research the local culture and customs, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Additionally, expats should be aware of the local climate, which is generally hot and humid year-round. Finally, expats should research the local job market and the availability of recreational activities in the area," remarked another expat who made the move to Davao, Philippines.
"The best is to have some work over internet from outside the country. It is more an investment country over here than a job finding country," explained one expat living in Davao, Philippines.
