S'installer aux Philippines.

Dear Michael,

Welcome to the Philippines. I am sure that you will love it here and have a great time. I think the best bet for your qualifications are to get in touch with web design or developer company, in terms of jobs. Otherwise, it might be a great idea to either research on joing a franchise, or starting your own business. You have to find out once you decide on an idea for business, if you can operate this business on 100% foreign ownership. You could also form a corporation under the 60-40 guidelines. You could also start a business on your own, again depending on whether or not that type of business could be 100% foreign owned. There are more risks in being a sole proprietor.

If you want to live in Metro manila, I would suggest the Fort, Global City. This is where I live...it is close to everything, and some great condos to choose from.

Good luck and safe travels.

Regards,
Vincent P. Satuito

merci Vincent de vos encouragements et de vos conseils.

Bonjour, Michael,

You are very welcome. Just remember, if you want to start a business, having an idea for business is NOT enough. Make sure that you do your homework. Once you get here, do a feasibility study, the capitalization requirement, etc. Try to stay away from "trendy or fad" businesses. It may be a hot idea now, but has no longevity once the trend is replaced by another. Except for owning drug stores for example, I would stay away from a retail business or restaurant. The return of your investment could take years, and would probably require you to keep infusing more money while you are trying to get the business off the ground.

Incidentally, do not hesitate to contact me at my firm, Wall Street Accounting and Business Solutions, Inc. Once you firm up on an idea and have done your research, we can help you with the feasibility study, marketing plan, business plan, and because we are a full service business solutions firm, we can also help you with forming your corporation, partnership, or sole proprietor. We have a legal team in our firm to help you with your immigration needs, and a realtor to help you locate an office and your residence.

Try to google the Fort at Global City...some high-end condos, great restaurants, shopping, beautiful place.

Good luck again and please let me know if there is anything I can help you with. You may contact me at [email protected], or I can catch your postings on this page.

regards,
Vincent

Bonjour Michel,
Es tu rendu aux Philippines, je pose la question car je recherche de la documentation pour aller nous retirer aux Philippines sous peu. Je détiens 1 passport Canadien et pour le moment je suis résidente du Laos

Nous avons quitté le Canada depus 2006 et ne désirons plus y retourner, sauf en visite et les Philippines semble une destination de choix pour une retraite confortable.

Merci a ceux qui pourraient me donner des réponses ou me donner 1 lien pour avoir les renseignements voulus pour le Statut de Résident retraité aux Philippines.
