I heard that it is relatively easy to obtain the right of permanent residence in the Philippines. Is it true? I did some research.
A person who is 35 years old and above can obtain a Special Resident Retiree Visa (SRRV).

Either of the following three requirements should be satisfied to get the visa:
(1) 50 years old and above, deposit of US$10,000 + monthly pension of US$800
(2) 35 to 49 years old, deposit of US$50,000
(3) 50 years old and above, deposit of US$20,000
If you are 50 years old, in order to get a SRRV you have to deposit only US$20,000 = 約166万円 to a bank in Philippines. In fact it is relatively easy.
The following page said that you have to pay US$360 = 約3万円 every year to maintain the visa.

Are there any advantages for me to get the visa? I'm not sure.

What do you think? Is it a good idea to live in the Philippines after retirement?
I heard that prices are not expensive in the Philippines.
If you eat a dinner at a restaurant how much does it cost?
I wrote about the Big Mac index.

I highly recommend 福岡。
Why do you recommend 福岡, not recommending whole Japan but only recommending 福岡?
The Philippines is a "developing country". The sanitation is not always perfect. Eating raw fish might be dangerous. In earthquakes, buildings always collapse (like Haiti, Mexico, China, etc.).
Fukuoka is a perfect place to live: clean water, safe buildings, good climate, bullet train access, etc.
Does "most livable city" means the list from the lifestyle magazine Monocle?

I agree with you that Fukuoka seems to be one of good cities to live. But I haven't lived in Fukuoka so I'm not so sure about it.
