Every day, foreigners in the Philippines make mistakes that cost them thousands of pesos or even get them into legal trouble. So I sat down with Heidi, co-founder of C&G Immigration and Business Services, who's been handling visas and business setups for almost a decade.

She shares her craziest immigration case ever (she literally booked a flight and sprinted through the airport to hand a client his ACR I-Card before his plane left), the biggest mistake foreigners make when moving here, and what's gotten stricter in the last few years.

We also play Myth or Fact:
✅ Do foreigners have to leave every 30 days?
✅ Does getting married automatically give you residency?
✅ Is overstaying a few days a big deal?
✅ Can foreigners own a business in the Philippines?

If you're dating or planning to marry a Filipina, Heidi breaks down the documents you need to bring BEFORE you come, and the one mistake couples married abroad make that delays their 13A spousal visa.

Plus a rapid-fire round: easiest visa, hardest visa, most misunderstood visa, and the one thing every foreigner should know.
