Compliance & Legal
Strict compliance with Commonwealth Act No. 108 is mandatory. We ensure all structures are legitimately formed and operate within the constitutional limits of foreign participation.
Standard transactions involve a 6% Capital Gains Tax and 1.5% Documentary Stamp Tax, typically structured between buyer and seller.
Republic Act No. 4726 governs the rights of foreign unit owners. We provide full scrutiny of the master deed and restriction amendments for every project.
Understanding how Philippine land laws interact with international wills is critical. We offer estate planning specifically for foreign-held assets.
Land may be titled in the Filipino spouse's name. The foreign spouse cannot be a co-owner of the land itself but may have rights to the structures built upon it. We help structure these arrangements transparently with proper estate planning.
The Special Investor's Resident Visa allows foreign nationals to reside in the Philippines indefinitely upon investing a minimum of US$75,000 in qualified Philippine enterprises. We coordinate with immigration counsel for end-to-end processing.
Restrictions apply within designated security zones and certain ancestral domains. Within these limits, foreign investors can acquire condominium units and leasehold rights across virtually any urban or resort destination.
From reservation to title transfer, expect 60–120 days for ready-for-occupancy units and longer for pre-selling projects aligned with construction milestones. We provide a clear timeline before commitment.
Foreign companies may own buildings and improvements through a properly structured Philippine corporation (60/40), or hold long-term leasehold interests on the underlying land directly.
Through accredited Philippine banks with Bangko Sentral documentation of source-of-funds. We coordinate with your banking team and the developer's escrow process to ensure full compliance and traceability.
