i would think twice about going to live in the phils if you don't have a lot of savings, what will you live off?, you will struggle to find work, and as some have found on here who have gone to the live in the phils, its not took them long to run out of money and then having to try and find money to get back to the UK..
i would go with the spouse visa, get your wife here, so both of you can start saving, and then go and live in the phils![]()
