Hey guys, when visiting the Philippines does the 30 day visa-free entry renew upon leaving and re entering the country? And if so how many times?

migmeneses 7mo

I know Bobby Fischer used to live there

migmeneses 7mo

That's it

No many nomads in PH.
Infrastructure, no the best internet and power outage make the life difficult

Also, prices are higher than their neighbours and quality worst

Thank you! Maybe I have to leave Asia for summer months. Too hot everywhere 🥵

Come to Italy hahah it’s the BEST

Italian / Swiss alps in the summer 🏆

But it means changing time zone again 😭 I thought I can stay in Asia for 6 months for the reason of not changing time zones too often, but sooo hot here. It takes my body 3 months to adjust to new time zone and then I can happily live 3 months before moving to another big time zone change area.

Yes, watched a video about it. Tourism is not going up as much as they hoped after Covid. People choose other countries because it is more expensive in Philippines and it does not offer better experience than neighbouring countries.

minonomad 6mo

Wow that’s a lot of time. Have you tried changing sleeping hours a week before shifting to a different time zone yet for example ? 🥺

Hey hey 👋

Hello from Neighbors and Nomads 🌴

We’ve built a space in El Nido for people who want to work properly… but still enjoy island life.

Think strong WiFi, comfy work spots, good coffee, and a social community that actually talks to each other.

Plus a rooftop for sunsets, drinks, and the occasional “one more than planned” 🍻

If you’re around Palawan, drop in and join us.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Steve. I spent most of my career in hospitality, working on operations and helping grow businesses.

A couple of years ago my wife and I moved to the Philippines for what was meant to be a one year experiment, and I’ve been based between El Nido and other parts of the country since.

While travelling and working remotely, I kept running into the same challenge around finding places that really support focused work, so I ended up opening a coworking space locally.

Since then I’ve become really interested in what actually makes a place work for nomads day to day, beyond just good WiFi and nice views.

Always keen to hear how others approach it and what matters most to you.

Great to be here 🙌

Hey, is that co working space in El Nido town? Or else?

st3viep 6mo

Hey Niklas

Our main space is in town although we have a satellite space in our partners cafe on Lio beach also.

travlerspirit 6mo

travlerspirit 6mo

travlerspirit 6mo

Somthing to share.
And this could be some things that are unseen.
Each time i use grab, two things i dont like: fees are hidden and specially when using international cards.
I havent seen this in Korea or other countriea. So pay attention to this hiddn charge.

Looking for recommendations!!

I want to hire SEO professionals in Philippines 🇵🇭

Does anyone have experience with headhunters or EOR in the Philippines?

Would be very grateful for anyone getting back to me on this 🙏🏼

minonomad 5mo

No one? 🥲

There's no surfing in boracay but they do have kite-boarding (not this part of the year though). Siargao has surfing but is touristy and kind of trendy instagram vibes now. Other surf areas you might want to check on: west side Luzon coast (La Union area), and also Eastern Samar there's a place called Guiuan - that's pretty remote if that's your thing.

I have been hiring people from Philippines to Singapore located business. Using Singapore sites with job advertisements like Jobstreet was enough - those are usually monitored by people from
the region.

Thanks you for sharing!!
