Sounds nice to be able to just up sticks & move to the phils but lets face facts if you in the eyes of the goverment are unable to support your spouse here in the uk how can you support her & yourself & other family members in the phils when you have to leave your employment here in the uk. With no job prospects in the phils & limited savings in my eyes you would not be able too stay to long in the phils before having to return home to the uk due to a shortfall in finances.
