Anyone planning to live in the Phils one day?

One thing which may be of interest to anyone who is planning to move to the Philippines and live on their pension:

You should be able to claim Double Taxation Relief on your pension, ie pay no tax on it in the UK but just pay tax in the Philippines, which for you is 0%. The following link may help:

And secondly; if your wife is an active member of Philhealth then she can include her spouse as a dependent. Therefore if you need medical treatment there you will be able to reclaim a proportion of the cost from Philhealth.
