Are you sure about the: Nicaragua – Visa issued upon arrival ($20) – All visitors are required to obtain a Tourist Card on arrival ($10) And the South American list? What are the best couple of souces for me to verify the info at? Because about Nicaragua I saw something 180° different in a visa agency’s information. But it looks like you have done your homework. Thanks for any further info you can give. Art
Thank you for this! I apologize for the wrong info i’ve posted.
Nicaragua tourist visa is required for Filipino citizens.
The “Visa issued upon arrival ($20) – All visitors are required to obtain a Tourist Card on arrival($10)” is applicable only for “Citizens of Philippines that hold a valid permanent resident card or a valid visa from the United States, Canada, or any Schengen Member State, do not need to obtain a visa to Nicaragua. Travelers will only need to purchase a Tourist Card on arrival for USD 10.00.

Im confused. Embassy of Mexico here in Phil, says that for Filipino Tourist, one needs visa to enter mexico. I am coming from the US and would like to have a side trip to Mexico. I am flying from a US city. Can I obtain a Mexico Visa at the airport when I arrive in Mexico?
What kind of US Visa do you have? Tourist? Multiple or Single Entry? Either way, you have to apply for a Visa to enter Mexico. They will ask you when you want to go to Mexico… the exact date and how many days you will be staying… they will also ask you for your financial statement in the past six months.. You don’t have to wait that long… as long as you have a set travel plan.. 5 days tops…you should be able to get it.
I got mine in Costa Rica, I applied for it on a Monday, I got it on a Wednesday. And to answer your other question… Visa cannot be obtained at the Airport.
Hi. I’ve been to Brazil. No, I never encountered any problem. There are a few things that to need to consider before traveling outside Asia. 1. If you DO NOT have any visa for USA, Canada or Shengen Countries… Make sure you a purchase a ticket that does NOT pass through ANY U.S cities & territories. You can have lay over in Europe but not in the US. These tickets are usually 3 times the amount you see in Orbitz or Kayak. Airlines that provide these services are KLM, British Airways, Liberia etc.
2. You need to purchase a round trip ticket. Regardless whether you have an ongoing ticket to Peru, Bolivia or Chile. You need to show proof that you have a return flight to the Philippines.
3. You might have a difficulty at the Airline counter there in the Philippines. They might badger you with all these questions like “What are you gonna do in Brazil?”. It happened to me on my way to Turkey. They delayed my flight for 6 freakin days.
4. Make sure you have hotels booked etc. Also, some Officials will randomly ask tourists for proof that you have funds. Just be aware of that.
Other than these things, I am sure you are gonna have a great time in Brazil. Good Luck! Br0ke Traveller
Hi, I’m thinking of going to Mexico. I have a tourist visa for US and I’m here in the states now. Also I’m a permanent residence in Japan but I’m filipino passport holder. Do I need a visa to go to Mexico?
What people need to understand is your PASSPORT determines whether or not you need a visa. It doesn’t matter if you’re a permanent resident somewhere. You need to check whether Philippine passport holders need a visa for the country you’re going to. Call or email that country’s embassy. I made the mistake of relying on so-called articles about visa exemptions for Filipinos and almost missed going on holiday. Unfortunately we have to get visas to almost every country in the world.
hello me and my husband wanted to go to paris but i only have a spouse visa from u.k valid for 28months my husband is a british citizen currently im leaving here now in u.k do i need any visa going to paris?one of my friend said that as long as u.k is a E.U member i don’t need visa I’m really confused please help…thanks..
Ma. jessica – You definitely need a schengen visa for Paris. Your uk residency doesn’t make you exempt because you’re still a philippine passport holder. Go to the French embassy website. I think they accept postal applications if you do not live in London.
Hi. What do I have to do if I lost my passport in a Foreign Country that does not have a Philippine Embassy.. only a consulate. Planning on crossing borders with no passport til I reach a country that has a Philippine Embassy.. Question is…what happens when I leave that country after I get my new passport?They will see that there’s no stamp?? Do I just say… I lost my passport?
Hi.. I am Tom (Filipino) and currently working in Saudi Arabia. I am planning to travel to Canada with my mom like 2 months after arriving back to Philippines after my contract. Is it possible to apply online for a tourist visa while here in Saudi or I should apply in the Philippines?
Hi Broke Traveller. Can you send me some tips in my email prior to applying a tourist visa in Canada with my mom like some documents or popular questions they may ask during interview. Anyway I have sufficient funds to travel like at least more than half a million peso in my account. Thanks
All good. You need to apply in person if you are trying to get a Tourist Visa to Canada. There are other requirements needed too to be qualified for one. You need to show proof that you intend to come back to the Philippines like you have a job waiting for you, you have assets etc. There are people you can hire to take care of these for you… When we applied for a tourist visa to the US… this person did everything… all we did was to show up for our interview.. and after that.. we got our visas the same day..
Im filipino now working in saudi arabia next year i will finish my contract but before i go home i want to travel in turkey. Is it possible do i need visa please help me. Thanks.
I have a question about meeting my fiancee who is a Filipina in Guam. I’m a U.S. citizen but due to my criminal record 12 years ago I cannot enter into the Philippines.
