I chose to rent my house in the Philippines. Technically, foreigners can’t own property here, so unless you are buying a condo, the house has to be in the name of a Filipino. Lots of guys do this (wife or girlfriend) but it seems pretty risky to me should the relationship go south. I also don’t desire to invest in property in case something goes wrong here and I need to flee. Before I moved here I sold just about everything I own. I shipped two boxes of small items and carried an extra suitcase on my flight. I didn’t notify any government agency of my pending departure. I use my daughter’s house as my official US address and any mail or notifications are sent there.

??? I have no idea what this question is asking. I’ve never been to the Philippines and have no desire to go there. I’ve never been retired, and most days, I can’t imagine ever making it to retirement age. And I have no clue what a retirement dept. means. I don’t know if there is such a thing as a retirement department, either. I’ve never heard of that term before, but I don’t know retired people outside of my grandmother, who was a stay-at-home mother.
