The government of the Philippines is making a big push to attract digital nomads, and it’s all part of a larger effort to boost the country’s economy and provide new opportunities for workers in the digital age. With the rise of remote work and the growing trend of working as a digital nomad, the Philippines sees an opportunity to tap into this market and create a welcoming environment for these modern workers.
The Philippines is known for its beautiful landscapes, vibrant culture, and friendly people, making it an attractive destination for digital nomads looking to work and travel at the same time. The government has recognized this and is now working to make the Philippines an even more appealing destination for remote workers.
One of the ways the government is doing this is by offering special visas for digital nomads, making it easier for them to live and work in the country. The Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV) and the Digital Nomad Visa are just some of the options available to remote workers who want to make the Philippines their base for a period of time.
In addition to special visas, the government is also working to improve internet connectivity and infrastructure to better accommodate the needs of digital nomads. This includes expanding high-speed internet access in more areas across the country and creating more co-working spaces and digital nomad-friendly communities.
The push to attract digital nomads is not just about creating new opportunities for workers, but also about boosting the country’s economy. Digital nomads bring in income from other countries and contribute to local businesses, helping to stimulate the economy and create new job opportunities for Filipinos.
Overall, the government’s efforts to attract digital nomads to the Philippines are a positive step in the right direction. By creating a more welcoming environment for remote workers, the country stands to benefit from an influx of new talent and ideas, as well as the economic boost that comes with it. With its beautiful beaches, rich culture, and now, a welcoming attitude towards digital nomads, the Philippines is truly positioning itself as a top destination for remote workers looking for a unique and inspiring place to live and work.

Philippines looking better and better everyday.
digital nomad visa is just talk. bali isn’t a country. not particularly credible chat.
This is great news! I'm planning on flying out to the Philippines later this year. I've got my fingers crossed that this visa will be available in time for that trip.
If you're making $24,000 a year in the US, you're basically broke…
Would you be interested in doing a video about how to set up the logistics for medical or dental care in the Philippines, Including a visa. Should a person have their dentist Provide a full exam to the dentist in the Philippines first?
I would love to see you interview a dentist or even a physician that does this kind of work for foreigners
If you are working remotely, but old enough for the "Special Resident Retiree's Visa (SRRV)", which is the better option, the SRRV or the Digital Nomad VISA?
If I'm in the Philippines long enough to be taxed, why can I not own land or a gun? Sounds like a scam
Everyone knows the Philippines biggest obstacle to being a nomad hub lack of business speed WiFi
i think the nomad retirement industry could be huge in the philippines but would need some serious legislation to prevent the whole scheme from being mired in bribes and red tape from th barangay to the supreme court! imagine nurses making twice what they do now without having to leave their own provinces for instance, same for cleaners, laundry etc etc etc! my dream proposal would be this. as a new zealander if i want to build a retirement village with care and dementia care facilities i would want legislation protection in place so if a say corrupt mayor for instance was trying to force a bribe from us we could say no and report it to a national body with the power to stop all graft simply! most countries cannot afford to care for their elderly but if we could send them to say cebu for example which will have huge amount of investment! employment and money spent locally it could be huge but will need laws to protect our elderly while they are there! what do you think?
Very interesting re digital nomad visa.
Some comments were questioning internet speed in PH. As it happens I had internet installed in a condo in Mactan Newtown this afternoon.
Sky Fiber with (up to) 200 Mbps for 1,699 pesos per month (2-year commitment and free installation by paying 3 months up front).
I personally tested the connection immediately after installation and it was showing:
Download: 194 Mbps
Upload: 27.8 Mbps
Typical for us Westerners is that we have no clue about all those Asian visitors.
The SRRV hasn’t been suspended. The age requirement was raised to prevent the abuse from the 35 yo Chinese. Also, the deposit requirement is $20,000 if you don’t have any verified income, bit $10,000 if you have income of only $1.000/momth.
I expect better information from you.
The Chinese ruin everything
Lovely women
Worst internet in the entire region by far.
Worst food in the entire region by far, maybe the worst in the world.
Worst poverty in the entire region by far.
Worst quality of life in the entire region by far.
PH is a terrible destination for the average digital nomad, almost every other country in SE Asia is a better optioin.
It sounds to me like the tourist visa is still a better option and renew it for upto 3 years than this nomad visa. Especially for digital nomads the work is normally contract. some month to month or project to project. but either way as long as the person is earning at least $1000 usd a month and live in the province they would be fine. a year to year basis makes no sense. maybe renew once every 5 years with allowance to leave the country and come back without issues. Really if they were to make the tourist visa longer as I mentioned 5 to 10 years it would be a better option.
Can't wait. 2026 Philippines time:)
The quality of life in the Philippines really isn't all that great. Outdated system with so many issues. Great interviews <3
