Remote pros just scored a win: Malacañang signed Executive Order 86 last week, officially rolling out the Philippines’ first Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) (Philippine News Agency). Think beach office, city-speed fiber, and a 12-month stay you can renew—no more border-run headaches.
To qualify, you must be 18+, earn your income outside the country, carry health insurance, and keep a spotless record. Reciprocity matters, so your passport’s home nation also needs to welcome Filipino nomads (Inquirer.net). The Department of Foreign Affairs will stamp the visa for up to a year, with a one-year extension ready to go.
I ran a quick test yesterday: took client calls from a rooftop café in BGC, then watched the sunset flame out over Manila Bay. Zero video lag thanks to the city’s fiber boom—it just works.
If you’re hunting polished apartments in Manila that double as work HQs, ManilaNests condos tick every box: gig-speed Wi-Fi, ergonomic work nooks, blackout drapes for late-night calls, and coffee worth waking up for just a short stroll away.
Book direct and dodge OTA fees while snagging weekly housekeeping plus a welcome tote loaded with local SIMs and mobile data.
