We preserve practical expat knowledge for the Philippines, for free.
Some people try to make money by gatekeeping paperwork help for expats. ArchipelagoExpat does the opposite: it preserves useful community knowledge, keeps it accessible, and prevents abuse, vandalism and promotional manipulation.
The community in numbers
Live numbers showing what the community has built together. Every number represents knowledge shared freely.
What makes us different
Free by design
Practical paperwork knowledge should be accessible to everyone. No paywalls, no lead capture.
Moderated & transparent
Every change is recorded, with author and date. Moderators review sensitive content.
Community-owned
Built by expats who have already been through it. Knowledge is preserved, not sold.
Protected from abuse
We revert promotional edits, vandalism and hidden lead capture inside the guides.
Bilingual from day one
English and Spanish, with separate URLs and realistic translation states: original, draft, reviewed, outdated. Languages are never mixed on the same page.
