- This isn’t just another ebook. It’s your personal relocation guide—the resource every foreigner need when relocating to the tropical island paradise of Bohol.
“This guide answered questions I didn’t even know to ask. It saved us $4,200 in visa mistakes alone.” – Mark & Susan T., Retired in Baclayon
The Bohol Dream vs. The Bohol Reality
THE DREAM: Waking up to ocean views, friendly neighbors, affordable living, and a simpler, richer life.
THE REALITY MOST EXPATS FACE:
- Spending months (and thousands) on visa mistakes that could have been avoided
- Choosing the wrong location because you didn’t understand municipal differences
- Overpaying for housing by 30-50% because you didn’t know local pricing
- Feeling isolated because you didn’t know how to build genuine community
- Facing unexpected costs because you didn’t understand utilities, taxes, and healthcare
What if you could skip the expensive learning curve and start your Bohol life with confidence instead of confusion?
Why This Guide Is Different (And Why It Actually Works)

- 15+ interviews with successful expats from nine municipalities
