Well, as a foreigner, you can't really buy land unless you are married to a local. And by the way, even if you are married to a local, make sure you are not supporting her whole family. There are a lot of women who are taking expats for granted. I'm saying this as a local guy. Marry someone who is educated, single without a kid, and has a job.

Foreigners can buy but can't register on their names even after marriage. That's why they register their properties on wife's, children's and friend's names

@@Alex_Kosh Hey Alex. No. Foreigners can't buy LEGALY. And knowing that foreigners can't own land legally, whoever sells land to a foreigner is a fraud. They can take that land away from you anytime they want. The best thing to do is to rent land for, let's say, 20 to 30 years. At least both of you are legally protected.

​ @Alex I think Kosh Abyan is probably right. He is a local person. Non-Philippinos can't buy land, they can only pay for land. Buying implies possesion/ownershiip by the buyer, which can't happen for non-philippinos. As you mention Alex, it ends up in someone else's name.

@@Alex_Kosh This is such bad misinformation. "Buy" in my books means "own". "Own" in my books means registered in the buyer's name. A foreigner can be on a land title but only WITH their Filipina spouse, and CAN inherit the land if the worst happens and the Filipina passes away. However, they can then only sell it to a Filipino citizen, they cannot pass it to any non-Filipino upon their own passing. You guys really need to do your homework before giving misleading info. I am not talking about Condos here, that's a different story.

Fyi, there is a clear law that limits the property line of a residential property. i think if i'm not mistaken, it is at least 50meters away from natural waters like stream rivers seas ect. and the kind of land must be a residential land or else you have to deal with a public hearing in a court to be able to convert a agricultural land into a residential land. but above anything else, you don't have to worry to much about access or roads, cuz if your residential land will purchased legally and successfully, the state will probide you for that rights. I have so much more to explain but this comments goes to long. well, have a nice life. good luck 🤪
