Missed Part 1? Check it out here: https://youtu.be/ztCgeGynzT4 Foreigners living in or moving to the Philippines often get visa and immigration rules wrong — especially when it comes to working, running a business, remote work, SRRV Courtesy, military eligibility, police clearances, and long-term residency. In Part 2 of my conversation with Heidi from C&G Consulting, we break down some of the biggest Philippine visa mistakes foreigners make, the rules people commonly misunderstand, and what you should know before building your life around the wrong immigration setup. We cover SRRV Courtesy, work visas, business ownership vs actually working in a business, remote workers, police clearances, BI requirements, common visa myths, and practical questions from subscribers. If you’re planning to retire, work, start a business, or stay long-term in the Philippines, this episode will help you understand which rules actually matter and what you should clarify before making a move.
