Philippines
Asia
The Philippines taxes every alien on Philippine-source income only, foreign income is never taxed regardless of residency status, but immigration is the real constraint here, a 30-day visa-free entry extends step by step toward a 36-month hard cap. The EO 86 Digital Nomad Visa exists in law, but its income floor, fees and reciprocity list remain unpublished, so treat it as not yet usable.
