That’s right! Filipinos can fly to several countries without having to go through the hassles of filling up forms, setting appointments and lining-up embassies to get a tourist visa before departure. Well, not to the more popular countries such as Japan, United States, Canada and Australia yet, but there are other countries that we can visit, and all we need are our passport, a plane ticket, a reasonable amount of pocket money plus a well-planned itinerary and we’re good to go. So if you’re a Philippine passport holder who loves to travel and are wondering where to go next, here’s is a list of countries (arranged alphabetically for your convenience) that do not require a visa prior to your arrival. Please note however that immigration laws may change so I have included a link to tourist visa information in each of the countries that you may click for updates. I’ve also added a tourism website in each of these destinations as a starting point.
