  38. Hi Thin! :)


    I'm really not sure what these countries will ask of you in particular, as each one may vary in terms of required documents. But you should definitely have with you a passport that has 6 months validity and your flight itinerary (or your ticket). Usually, when you enter a foreign country, the immigration officers may request that you show your airline ticket. It's safe to show a roundtrip ticket so that they would know your timeframe of stay.

    From these visa-free countries, I've only been to Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, South Korea and Macau.

    Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Macau won't require you any show money. But South Korea has a few requirements, especially if you're not coming from Jeju island. In my case, I had to apply for a visa since I will be flying to Incheon. You can read the full details of my application here: http://www.budgetbiyahera.com/2012/04/how-to-apply-for-korean-visa-here-in.html



    Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you have any other questions. I will try to help you in any way that I can. :)

  39. Hi there, I am a Filipino and i have travelled to some parts of Asia like Indonesia,Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand without a visa. I have just recently applied for a visa for UK as a General Visitor valid for 180 days and thankfully it was approved. After my visit to UK, i am going to Panama for 2 months. I did not see Panama on your list of North America or South America that does not require a visa. I have been told that i can come to Panama without a visa or i can use my UK visa with an entry stamp that allows me to stay there. But some says i need a Panama visa. I am quite confused. Please help! Thanks!

  40. Hi Aurele! First of, thank you for dropping-by. :)

    As for your observation, I actually got this list from another source (http://twentyfive.hubpages.com/hub/Visa-Exemption-for-Filipinos). But the list didn't include Panama though. And since I haven't been to any part of America yet, I had no means of proving whether a visa was required or not. Sadly, I am as clueless as you. My apologies. :(

    If you have time, hope you can visit BB's FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/budgetbiyahera

    Safe travels to the UK and Panama! Enjoy your stay there. :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hi Mai! thanks a whole lot for your reply. I have now learned from a different website called www.learn4good.com that Filipinos just need entry stamp in order to enter Panama.
    I will take a look at your BB's FB page.


    Thank you and God Bless po!

    ReplyDelete
  42. You're welcome Aurele! Even though I didn't quite satisfy your query. =P Anyhoo, thank you for mentioning that link. I checked it though... is there a direct link that mentions the 'entry stamp' requirement? Can't seem to locate it. Or maybe I'm just typing the wrong keywords.


    Do enjoy your stay there and take lots of photos! :)

  43. Hi Mai, no worries, it's good to at least spoke to you. This page is a great help to us and i am thankful you have created this.
    I might have given you the wrong link but, so sorry, my IT skill is very low. I do not know how to copy or paste the link. :( So just try to search this "Panama Visa Information" learn4good.com. It has a "L" logo. Hope this time its correct. :)


    Cheers!
