@josephbeans3542 - Realistically? A minimum of $2000 to $2500, but a lot also depends on your spending habits

@@t-and-d-productions vacuum bags work as well. Still wouldn't bring a lot of clothing, though.

Of all ages.

@desipage9862 Yep. Guys like you will be spending a lot of it at the bars, buying drinks for the bar girls and ladyboys, then will whine about Filippinas being "gold-diggers." 🤣 If you even make it out of your country, that is. Most goobers that say stupid things like this have rarely ventured far from their home town. Suggest you stay there.

You'll end up being one of those bitching about how 'all Filippinas are scammers and gold-diggers.' If you ever come out, that is. My advice? Stay wherever it is you live.

@bucknaykid4236 From what I've seen, not as long as it's in the prescription bottle, though I didn't bring narcotics. 90 day supply might be iffy, depending on the drug. Look at the immigration website for better info. Or email them directly with specifics.

@MikeinKilim Unfortunately, that I don't know much about, and I won't be like those on Facebook and pretend to know. Send an email to the Philippine Bureau of Immigration with your question and you should get an answer within 48 hours. You can also contact JRC Visa Consultancy on Facebook and they might be able to answer that. There are a dozen RUclips videos about that subject as well, done either by lawyers or visa consultants. Type in "Philippine spousal visa" into the search and look for the latest info.

@TheInvisibleAmericanMan Good idea! I'm actually 70 and spent a good chunk of change both checking out and then moving to the Philippines. I'm not "poor, " but I'm not wealthy either (divorce took a lot of my reserves). In general, there are two types of expat out here: The "Look at me, I'm a wealthy Westerner" type that thinks their wealth can "buy" the loyalty of a Filippina. They hang out in all the wrong places (bars, night clubs) expecting to meet a "hot, young thing who is kind and loyal. They fail and are usually the type that later complains, "All Filippinas are gold-diggers and scammers!" Then there are the patient, quieter types that, regardless of their financial status, live a more frugal life, minglenwith the natives, learn some of the language and/or customs, and try their best to fit in. They only go out a couple times each month (usually to anlocal festival, rarely to a bar), buy and eat food made by locals, and have only a few really close friends. I'm in this group.

Good for you! Not sure of your age, but check out Carefree Chris as well. He's a good buddy of mine here in Cebu and a great resource! Tell him "Jack and Sheila sent me!"

​@@JacktheCyberspaceCowboy Thanks 👍 Jack, I will. Take care.

Why would you send 800k $US to the phils??

@@peteranderson2130 It is in a secure bank, garners decent interest and is easily accessible without having to deal with bank transfer fees. I live here so why would I have my money in an overseas bank?

​@peteranderson2130 - He's either full of shit, on business here, or is extremely stupid for advertising it, thinking immigration doesn't monitor videos like this

@@peteranderson2130 To buy property, land and establish a decent life for my family and me.

@@JacktheCyberspaceCowboy We own our business and property and have a decent income as well as cash in the bank. Our kids are being educated and neither my wife nor I has worked for 5 years. So, clearly stupid. Maybe you should aspire to be as stupid as I.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@usarugbyleagueunionfan Sweet! Hope you make it back soon!

@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li - says someone else who has never been here.

I won't say "no" but it may be better to have Sheila interview you for the Palompon Princess channel. She's my wife and does a better job of interviewing. I'm trying to do something a little different that what 90% of the other expats are doing.

@@jimbohi3648 - August is going to be a busy month for me. We have relatives coming here from the US. But, send a friend request through FB - Jack Kus - and I will let you know. Also, check out the "Carefree Chris" group there. Sheila and I meet up with them fairly often.

@@JacktheCyberspaceCowboy all right man I'll see what I can do

@@floribertosousa2251 - Would love to meet with you when you get here. Friend me on FB - Jack Kus - and also check out the Carefree Chris group.

@@JacktheCyberspaceCowboy, ok I will. Thank you 👍

@BB-dp4kh - Well, thankfully she doesn't shop the malls often and is very frugal, knowing where the fashion bargains are. And money doesn't buy loyalty like hers. If it did, I'd have lost her long ago.

Thankyou

@kenmatreal3862 - Cool. Age, as they say, is just a number. Pinays prize maturity, stability, and loyalty above all else.

@@life2shorty Thank you!

@jimbohi3648 - I also flew EVA Air and I was impressed. Made the mistake of flying Delta the second time and the last leg was on a Korean Cattle Call airline called Jing, even though I paid for Economy Plus. In the future, I will fly either E+ with EVA, Singapore Air, or Cathay to avoid that situation. US Domestic Airlines just can't compete anymore.

@jimbohi3648 Congratulations! Leyte girls are the best Province Girls! Just remember that the first few years will either cement the trust you've both built or will reveal the faults. Make sure she knows that, as the old song goes, "I Only Have Eyes... For You!" Do that and you will have a very happy marriage.

@jmaction - it is very illegal here and they are very strict about it. The nickname has more to do with my hair than anything. Nor do I see it changing any time soon.

And how is that different from anywhere else, other than here, I can get the life-partner I want?

Thank you.

Just don't bring in more than ₱50,000 (about $850) in Philippine currency, and no more than the equivalent of $10,000 USD. You need to declare the latter. More than the former will get confiscated and/or you won't be allowed in the country. They are really strict about money laundering here.

Thank you for those encouraging words. I, too, watch (and have met) many of those vloggers and I am actively seeking a different course from interviewing one another.

@walterdearrudafortesjuni-wp5oh Thank you! Great advice and I agree with all you said. Buy the clothing HERE. It's made for the climate.

Thank you so much. I'm a firm believer in the adage, "You're as old as you feel!" Some days, I feel 30, other days, 90! LOL

A lot of that depends on the lifestyle you're going to pursue here. If you're going to live "like you've never left the [Western country you're from], then yes, bring a lot of money and a large pension. Buying imported goods (and all Western goods normally available in the grocery store are imported) will put a big dent in your budget. Buying local goods will reduce that cost. The key word is "BUDGET." If you don't put one in place and adhere to it, then yes, you're going to need a lot of money.

@@shiellamaemarquez1208 OK, found it.

Thank you! 😃

Exchange rates will vary by bank and will be somewhere between 0.1 to 0.2% of the total, along with a flat charge. Talk to your banker about the costs. It may benefit you to "shop banks" for the best rate. That said, you may also want to buy some items to "hide" the money from hotel staff. I got three from Amazon; one that was a hollow brush, another that was a fake lint roller, and a third that was a shaving cream can. Lastly, make a budget and stick to it! It's just far too easy to spend, spend, spend here because "everything's so cheap!" Keep in mind that having a monthly fixed income of, let's say, hypothetically, $2000 does not translate into that amount here. There is the exchange rate vs the bank rate, then the transfer fee. Set up a Remitly, Western Union, or Wise account to transfer cash. If you have an investment account, change it to Schwab or Fidelity and see if you can get a debit card for it. I won't go into it because there are over 100 videos I've watched on the subject.

@@tonymonument4658 - Very true. I'm looking into health insurance here.

@Hoochie243 - I'm wondering when ceiling fans ceased to be popular here.

Beef is VERY expensive here.

Oh, very easy in the Provinces. In the cities? Not so much. The cities are home to a growing middle class of Filippinos that have good jobs, homes, transportation, and disposable income. Most likely, it will be an older (30+) single mom that you'll get.
