Who this is for — honestly

Get it if

  • You’re past “someday” and pricing out a real move in the next year or two.
  • You want every cost on paper before you commit to anything.
  • You’d rather learn the expensive mistakes from a page than from your own wallet.

Skip it if

  • If the free quiz already answered your question, you may not need this.
  • You’re still browsing countries — start with the free letters instead.

What’s inside — every chapter

1

Budgets by city and neighborhood

Real monthly numbers — rent, food, power, help — for Cebu City, Mactan, and the province.

2

Visas in plain English

The SRRV (Special Resident Retiree’s Visa — the Philippine retirement visa) and the tourist-visa route, side by side, without the jargon.

3

Your first 30 days, step by step

What to do in week one, what can wait, and what order saves you money.

4

Healthcare and insurance

What hospitals cost, how insurance works here, and the Medicare gap nobody warns you about.

5

Banking and getting your money over

Accounts, transfers, and how to avoid paying the bank twice.

6

The mistakes that cost people real money

Scams, bad leases, wrong neighborhoods — and how to walk past all of them.

Fair questions

How is this different from the free quiz and letters?

The free stuff is real — start with our free quiz and map. The Blueprint is the full written version: every number, every step, in one PDF you can read anywhere — on screen or printed.

How do I get it?

You pay through Lemon Squeezy, then use the download link in your receipt email or My Orders. Card or PayPal — you’ll always see the exact amount before you pay.

Is it up to date?

Yes — this edition is updated for 2026, and we revise it when prices change, because we live with these prices ourselves.

What if it’s not what I needed?

If it wasn’t useful, email us within 14 days and we’ll make it right.
