Free Philippines Move Planner
Turn a move to the Philippines into a set of manageable steps. This free planner brings your departure checklist, first 90-day budget, apartment shortlist and packing decisions together. Start with where you are moving from, the city you are considering and your approximate dates. You can change those choices as your plans become clearer.
Still deciding whether to move?
The Retire in the Philippines Decision Pack is a printable workbook for planning a scouting trip and deciding, in writing, whether to retire in the Philippines.
See the Decision PackWork through the practical steps
Prepare before departure, organize your first few days and build a routine after arrival. Add your own notes and dates, mark tasks done, or skip steps that do not apply. You can also use the public moving checklists on their own, including the before-you-book checklist and first 72 hours.
Put a budget beside your plans
Account for moving costs and your first months, compare potential apartments, and decide what to bring, ship, buy or leave. Read the first 90-day budget guide for assumptions to consider, or use the cost of living calculator to explore monthly expenses before choosing a city.
