Countries Filipinos Can Visit Without a Tourist Visa

August 30, 2008 | Travel | 450 comments

Most Filipinos would love to travel especially when visa is not required. There are less than 40 countries Filipinos can go to which are the neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, some countries in South America, and South Africa. Below is an updated list of countries Philippine Passport Holders can go visa-free with conditions posted after the name of the country.

Filipino:

Ang mga bansa na nakalista sa ibaba, ay mga bansa na pwede puntahan ng mga Pilipino na di na kailangan pang mag-apply ng visa bilang turista. Ang kondisyon karamihan ay bilang ng araw. Kailangan mong umalis ng kanilang bansa o kaya ay mag-apply ng visa kung lalagpas ka sa bilang ng araw na pwede ka mag-stay sa kanilang bansa na walang visa. Halimbawa, sa Hong Kong, pwede ka walang visa kung magliliwaliw ka lang doon hanggang 14 days.

        i just went to HK last June of 2011..we had no problem going there, though some of the passengers that were supposed to board for HK did not make it through the embassy..i think it depends on the supporting papers that u will present to them..they asked me about my purpose in going there, work here, some id’s and the money i will bring..lucky for me that i made it through the embassy..some of my friends say that the embassy here is even more strict that the embassy in HK..weird but true..i’m planning for my next travel destination..and i hope there will be no problem too.

If you have a Filipino passport you need a visa to enter USA. Go to US Visa website to get the list of requirements and procedure.

Nice blog. I got a lot of good data. I’ve been following this technology for awhile. It’s interesting how it keeps changing, yet some of the core components remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the domain?

I traveling with Filipino passport with Canadian visa to Canada via Tokoyo to Newark, Liberty then Toronto. Do I need a US visa for while in transit to USA. I won’t be leaving the airport, just a lay-over for the next flight.

  I don’t think you do. As I know, there is what we call transit visa. But I know this is for people who will leave the airport and stay in the United States before going to the next destination, so you don’t need this..
  If you are really anxious about it, read more about transit visa here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_4383.html
  
  You can contact the US embassy in your current country if you are still doubtful.

Hi !

India has and is growing big in every industry found there and as such, many types of services are now required especially in the affluent sectors such as in the Indian flim Industries to name a few.

In this regard, services in the entertainment sectors are fast becoming of great demand especially in the massage and escort areas where one can expect to make about five thousand Singapore dollars a month after expenses with ease.

Therefore, If any Phillipinas are interested in checking this out, are most welcome to contact me to gain access to these sectors.

  Xmark, Wikipedia is my source for listing Costa Rica, Haiti, and Saint Vincent in North America… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_in_North_America.
  If you don’t prefer Wikipedia as a source, you may want to check with National Geographic as well.
  http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/continents/north-america/
  
  I suggest you check out the map.
