Looking for New Zealand Expats in the Philippines?

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Kiwi members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Being an expat in the Philippines means much more than packing your belongings and taking care of paperwork. Keeping in touch with your New Zealand compatriots is a big part of the expat experience and can help you understand the Filipino people and their culture better. With InterNations, meeting other New Zealanders in the Philippines is a breeze, no matter if you are in Cebu, Manila, Davao or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of New Zealanders in Manila, for example.

If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for New Zealand food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the New Zealand InterNations Community:

• In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from New Zealand.
• Our the Philippines Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get pavlova in Manila...
• The InterNations Places database for the Philippines helps you find institutions like the nearest New Zealand embassy.

From Gitnang Luzon, the "Rice Bowl of the Philippines" to the shores of Manila Bay, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly New Zealand expats in the Philippines.

Participating in our regular expat events and activities in the Philippines is another wonderful advantage of your membership. Our events cater to virtually all interests, ranging from a nice dinner with your fellow expats to enjoy some famous halo-halo, the Philippines’s national dish, to large expat get-togethers with hundreds of guests in some of Manila’s most exclusive locations. Looking for a weekend getaway? Simply join one of our expat excursions with a group of fellow New Zealanders in Manila and discover 2000-year-old rice terraces, the country's summer capital at Baguio, and other impressive landmarks across the Philippines.

Our events and activities are a great way of meeting fellow expats from New Zealand and all around the globe in a casual atmosphere. Does this sound interesting to you? Then sign up for membership and you’ll hear a heartfelt Hello from our New Zealanders living in the Philippines!
