Countries that do not require visa (for Phil passport holders)

[vhanya]

typical pinoy crab mentality. tsk tsk. yan mahirap pag philippine passport holder na nag work sa labas. usually your business trip is biglaan, pero how long will it take you to apply for a visa dba? hassle talaga.

FIJI din, Philippines passport holder does not require visa.

But to get there, have to get connecting flights from Australia. So if you have australian tourist visa, no problemo!

reminder land, especially to those going to singapore and malaysia, MAHIGPIT (AS IN!) ang phil immigration sa mga pupunta doon (philippine passport holders only). They will ask for round trip ticket, hotel voucher, then you'll have short interview with an officer and fill out another form. mga 20minutes siguro lahat yan. I'm not sure if all ages yan, or sa mga 20s-30s lang.

It's true, yun friend ko nagsabi sa akin niyan, he's working for the philippine immigration.

Madami kasing mga ladies na pumupuntang malaysia and singapore to become prostitutes.

last month pumupuntang malaysia ako, it happened to me. wala ako hotel voucher kasi we're(I'm with my 2 friends) staying with my friend's friend's house. e yun friend ko na yun, nagname drop (kasi anak niya working for philippine immigration), so walang mga interview interview. buti kilala ng friend ko yun isang officer na nakaassign sa airport that time, kaya medyo hindi ata naging mahigpit sa akin. (kasi kwento ng friend ko na yun, meron daw naka-assign na nagbabantay sa akin that time)

Meron yun iba, as in naka-upo na sa airplane for boarding na, tapos pinapaba ng immigration. Basta may kunting duda sila sayo, talagang ihohold nila. Ang less hassle if you join group tour daw or if kasama buong family.

Yun lang. I just want to give you guys heads up. Remember, visa free is just the 1st step. Meron pa yun philippine immigration. And meron pa yun immigration ng country kung saan ka pupunta

[kelle]

ako i went to SG last year and mejo andaming tinanong sakin ni immigration. i was traveling alone to meet my sister there. when i said my sister was an FA who had a layover saka lang umokay si immigration haha. they're being strict na pala talaga.

[Frenzied]

Sometimes philippine immigration officers are unreasonably mahigpit than abroad! Hello! I bet they haven't travelled so inggit sila to those who can afford to travel. This happened to my cousin going to hk, staying at a friend's house in hk. Hinold talaga and she was left by her original flight. She was only allowed to leave after 5 hours, nagfax pa ng id and all hulaballooos yung friend in hk. To tjink ang daming tatak ng passport ng cousin ko including UK. she was dressed casually, as in shorts and shirt lang. Kase naman she's only staying for 2 days.

Particularly immig in clark airport, flown out of clark 2x ( going to malaysis and the other time to hk) . Ang daming tanong! So unnecessary but when i fly out from manila airport specially PAL -- no questions asked. So now, whenever i fly whether business or leisure, i make it a point to really dress up para intimidated agad, wala tanong ans just check all stsmps in my passport.  I also put my business card at the back of my passport para wala madyado tanong. Geez, so complicated at times to be pinoy! Sorry sbout the rant. Just sharing.

Ganito na pala kahigpit.

OK naman experience ko noon.

Pero kwento nga ng officemate ko, mas maluwag sila pag may work ka dito sa pinas at napapakita mo ID mo.. If not kasi, duda nila is mahahanap ka dun ng trabaho kaya naghihigpit.

At wala pa akong return ticket sa pinabook ko na flight. Aww. June pa naman yun. Sana magsale na ulit cebu pac.

[iluvescadasport]

^yup tama, kaya better if you attatch your company id sa passport. Or pwede rin mag "name drop", lalo na if important person yun inaname drop mo

[tungek]

Awww... Sobrang higpit ba talaga? We're going to SG this June at dalawang babae kami... Apart from company id meron pa ba na pedeng maging basis nila na hindi ka naman magwowork dun? Pag nakita ba nila na US Visa holder ka and me tatak naman na nakabalik ka ng pinas from US d na kaya sila maghihigpit? Sayang naman kung hindi ka matutuloy sa trip mo dahil lang napagdudahan ka ng IO. 

[vhanya]

^i think a big factor is how you present yourself to the IO. pakita nyo na can afford kayo mag bakasyon sa SG =). whenever I go abroad, mejo snotty ako sa IO hahaha! feleing mataray, ganun.
