We plan to move to Manila this year and have been searching some rental properties. Many of the rental properties require:
1. Post-dated checks to cover monthly rent for each month (e.g. 12 months)
2. Pay all up front.
I know it is almost impossible to open a bank account without an ACR I card.
We also try to avoid bringing a large amount of cash with us. I would like to know how the fellow expats deal with this situation.
Thank you
