Some important notes:

The list of countries above won�t let you need a visa BEFORE your arrival. Doesn�t
mean you won�t need one forever. I just listed the allowed days just like when
you�re going to SG for example, you may visit the place until the allotted days
without a visa. You can also extend your stay but you have to comply with their
visa requirement � that�s the time you have to secure a visa or permit depending on
your purpose (work, business, study, etc)

The other countries require a visa upon arrival. It�s usually done at the port of
entry or at the immigration bureau of that country. They usually ask you about your
purpose of visit/travel and check your documents like your passport (which must be
at least 6 months valid from the date of expiry), valid IDs (when I say valid it
means it�s not expired and is accepted by all government offices), return tickets,
and money. They usually require you to hold proof of sufficient funds to cover your
stay. Some strict countries checkpoint authorities require documents such as
employment letter, hotel reservations, personal invitation, permit to travel and
the like. They have the authority to refuse your entry if you fail to comply with
them.

experiences with others. You can exchange related stuff in the comments section
just like a forum. But please you guys, I made this effort to share this for
everyone and it�s free. I have updated the details, too one by one. Please respect
this page and don�t throw nasty comments to anyone. Filipinos are polite, courteous
and hospitable. I want to see that in here. Help each other instead of turning each
other down�THANK YOU.
