Destination & Booking Info

Visa Requirements

Many nationalities can enter the Philippines visa-free for stays of up to 30 days. ASEAN passport holders get 21 days visa-free. If you need a tourist visa (category 9a), single-entry costs USD 25-40 and multiple-entry runs USD 50-120, with processing taking 7 to 14 working days. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date and have two blank pages.

Every arriving passenger must complete the online eTravel registration within 72 hours before touching down. The system generates a QR code you will show at immigration alongside your passport. Immigration officers may ask about your accommodation, length of stay, and return or onward ticket, so have those details handy.

Departure Tax, Currency & Customs

Foreign tourists staying less than one year are exempt from Philippine travel tax. Filipino citizens pay PHP 1,620 in economy or PHP 2,700 in first class.

You can bring up to PHP 50,000 in Philippine pesos and up to USD 10,000 or equivalent in foreign currency without prior approval; amounts above either limit require a declaration to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and Customs. Prohibited imports include narcotics (penalties can reach life imprisonment), firearms and ammunition, pornography, gambling equipment, and unapproved agricultural products.

Booking Tips

  • If you are flying Cebu Pacific or Tigerair Taiwan, buy checked baggage during booking or via the airline's manage-booking portal. Airport counter prices are significantly higher.
  • Complete the Philippines eTravel registration at etravel.gov.ph up to 72 hours before your flight. You cannot check in online for some airlines without the QR code.
  • For the best fare on full-service carriers, book three to six weeks ahead. Trip.com lets you set price alerts for the Taipei-Manila route so you catch drops without checking manually.
  • Taoyuan Airport MRT is the fastest cheap option to downtown Taipei, but if you have an early morning departure before MRT service starts (6:00 AM), budget for a taxi (NT$1,200-1,600) or book a private transfer.
  • In Manila, Grab is widely available at NAIA and avoids having to negotiate with curbside taxis. The UBE Express bus is a cheaper alternative if your hotel is near one of its five Metro Manila routes.
  • Carry a printed or offline copy of your accommodation address and return flight details. Immigration at NAIA frequently asks to see both.

※ Fares, schedules and policies are subject to change. Confirm with official sources before booking.
