Can foreigners buy real estate in the Philippines?

1. There are no requirements for identity or nationality when buying a house in the Philippines. Even tourists can invest in real estate, but real estate with land can only be purchased by Filipino nationals.

2. Passport

The passport must be confirmed to be within the validity period; some relatively tight real estate properties will limit the purchase of one or two sets per passport.

3. Philippine visa

Most home buyers can only apply for a tourist visa. The application for a tourist visa in the Philippines is very simple. Taobao can easily handle it. All you need to do is fill out an application form, photo, passport, and bank statement.
