Hi the visa website is not working every time I click on it it gives me error. Is there any alternatives websites my college is starting in a month and my papers are all ready
@@ReemJoe-i1k The website is perfectly working on my end. Please always use the official website only and don't get scam. Clear the cache and use a different browser if needed.
The cost of visiting the Philippines can vary, but budget travelers can expect to spend around $30-50 per day, while mid-range travelers might spend $50-100 daily. If you want to work remotely, the Philippines offers good internet connectivity in major cities and tourist areas, making it feasible to work from your phone or laptop.
If your question is about how much money you can bring into the country, the answer is $10,000 each time. However, if you want to know about expenses in the Philippines for 30 days, it depends on where you are going to stay. Manila can be expensive. It also depends on what activities you are going to do and whether you are renting a house or staying at a hotel. Here is an idea of the minimum costs of living per day in the Philippines:Budget accommodation: $20 - $50 per nightMeals: $3 - $10 per meal (street food to mid-range restaurants)Transportation: $0.20 - $0.50 for short trips (jeepneys, tricycles), $5 - $10 for longer trips (taxis, Grab)Entertainment and activities: $5 - $50 depending on the activity (museums, tours, etc.)Miscellaneous expenses: $5 - $20 (SIM card, toiletries, etc.)These are approximate figures and can vary based on your preferences and lifestyle."
Sir, I watched your video. One clarification needed. I am planning to travel with my family to Australia. I have to create a group for primary account and use the same group details for other applications. Right? Secondly, my wife's account also contains some money. Can I show that along with her application.? since I am working in UAE, for the national identity document ( other than passport), could I submit aadhaar card or Emirates ID from UAE?
Thank you for watching my videos. Yes one primary account for the whole family members can be used. If your have some money in her bank account attach her bank statement together. National Identity is the one you have in India and UAE resident card is for your permit to allow you stay in UAE legally both are not same.
@@TheSimpleTravel while filling the form in page 3, they are asking national identity card. In this place I need to submit aadhaar or Emirates ID from UAE? Also while uploading other than the passport in the last page in the document section, could I uploaded aadhaar or Emirates ID? Thank and regards
@@jibiag82 What is adhar card? Are you Indian or Emirati? If you are indian citizen attach your Indian national ID card and if you are Emirati then Emirates identity card.
Hi there , I send all my documents to london embassy of Philippines do they send u the email when they received your documents or they only send u the email when they post your passport to your address
I don't know how the Philippines Embassy processes visa applications in London, and also the process varies for certain nationalities. Typically, applicants send their applications to the embassy and receive the visa within 3 days. However, citizens of Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan have to wait for 10 to 15 days after submitting their application to collect their passport with the visa stamping.
Thanks for your help and I Appreciate that you put that video to help people keep up the good work btw i got my visa from london embassy in 4 days super fast .
My elder sister is giving me the invitation letter. Is there any document that needs to prove the relationship between us? If so, suggest the document. Also, one more things, for 4 members, the primary account pay for all or pay after each application?Thank you.
@@jibiag82Hi there. If an invitation comes from a sister, you should attach some documents, such as both sisters' birth certificates, marriage certificates from parents, and any documents proving a genuine relationship. Regarding the payment, only the immi account holder will have access to the application unless using a different email or a separate application to pay for the visa fees.
@@TheSimpleTravel Mine and my sisters marriage certificate contains parents name. Is that enough? But a slight spelling difference in the mother's name. Is that become a problem?
"It should be okay unless you don't have both of your sisters' birth certificates and your parents' marriage certificate. Any spelling errors should be corrected, or you can provide notarized affidavits for added assurance. Additionally, it's advisable to write a cover letter to clarify any doubts that may arise."

Hello! I have a friend from Philippines. Myself and her are olanning for me to go over and meet her there. She works. But, i dint work. I just finished my studies. What visa would be needed for me amd how do i go about it...
Have I interpreted the instructions wrongly? I read the instructions on part of the video where it shows on the application form that one has to go to the nearest Philippines Embassy to complete the application. The video also states that the application process is quite easy and cheap that completely contradicts the information on the form as I would have to drive 556 MILES to get to the Philippines Embassy from where I live! Surely I must have misunderstood something?! Drive 556 mile just to complete the application? Surely not?
It seems there might be confusion. The video and form instructions may not align. Before driving 556 miles, consider checking with the embassy or researching online. Also, note that many countries have visa exemptions for the Philippines, so you might not need to go through this process.
Hello, can you please provide details on sequence of documents and template for itinerary? Also along with fund details, do we need to show forex money or card?
Philippines visa application doesn't required an Itineraries. Documents that you have to submit are: 1) Online application form 2) A photo 3) Hotel booking 3) Air ticket reservation. For places to visit in the Philippines see here : thesimpletravel.com/the-philippines
Hello! I have a question : What Should be the Bank Balance / cash on hand to get the Philippines tourist Visa? I heard it's 1000$, is it true? In Thailand it's only 500€ THANKS
Hello David, thank you for reaching out. Regarding your question about the bank balance for a Philippines visa application, it is recommended to have a bank balance of at least $1000 This is the minimum amount required by the Philippines embassy for a tourist visa application. However, if you plan on staying longer than 30 days, the total amount in your bank account should be at least $2000. It is important to note that these amounts are subject to change, so it is always best to check with the embassy for the most up-to-date requirements.
If person is married and don't have a permanent visa or spouse not traveling together still need a visa to travel to the Philippines. Maybe the requirements are less
Hi. Im travelling to the philippene with my wife in december. We are taking both our kids with us. They are 1 and 4 years old. My wife is from the philippenes but my children are norwegian citicens. But they are also my wifes children but are not philippene citizens. They need from what i understand a tourist visa because we have airplane ticketes to the philippene and back and intend to stay for 5 weeks. I have heard that you can apply for visa at the airport. How does that work?
Hi thanks for your comment. There is a program called balikbayan visa for spouse of Filipinos. I am not sure for your kids eligibility but I think they will gets too. The visa will be issued for a year at the entrance of the country (Any airport in Philippines) I would suggest you to just give a call to the embassy in Norway and confirm it with them. Have a happy journey to the Philippines

Hi I’m citizen from Somalia currently living and working in china . I’ll like to travel as tourist visa in Philippine . Do I need sponsor or just apply online.
the website is one of the worst regarding information provided. practically. the described method is pretty much overcomplicated and not friendly at all... what a fck it to send to the embassy. twice? on post? ridiculous. even China is more straightforward and simple
After filling out all the information on the application and uploading a photo, it always comes back as failed to attach photo. I have been to a professional studio to take a photo of me with the exact measurements that is on the photo requirements, but they are all failed to attach.
Hi thanks for reaching out. Have you contacted any one from technical support? Sometimes maybe due to the server problem uploading photos comeback with failed notification. Try to email technical support team from visa.gov.ph or try again later at midnight. Anything please don't hesitate to ask me.
Hello currently i m staying in qatar. I would like to visit San Carlos City in Phillipines. Do i need to book air travel ticket and hotel booking before visit embassy in doha.....kindly reply me
How long does it take maximium for the processing of Philippines tourist visa. I applied it already 8 days end. My nationality is Indian. Reply me plzzz...thank u
Hello, I am a student from India. I would be going for student exchange program for 6 months to Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines for which I the university will provide me with study permit on arrival. But I need to make tourist visa to enter Phillipines whose requirements include return ticket and hotel accommodation for 59 days, but it's not possible to book hotel for 59 days or provide the return ticket within 59 days. Please help me out.
Indian passport holders get 30 days stay with visa not 59 days also you have to get visa first before you travelling to there. You don't have to book accomodations for a long time since you will be provided accomodations from your university. Just book for few days and once your visa approved just cancel accomodations.
I'm an American currently living in Korea. I'd like to go directly to the Philippines for a month or maybe two. Is it possible to do all of this abroad?

Hello I applied for a tourist visa and sended all the docs via email and got the confirmation receipt email from them now what should i do?? Im albanian
Head straight to embassy and submit everything you got. Please do little bit check about their appointment system whether it's by phone or email or you can set an appointment with their website. That's it. Hope it will helps you
@@ergidemo Although it's not compulsory to buy a confirmed ticket before any visa application approved at least you can let visa officer know that you have confirmed ticket purchased already. There is a little extra charge of expedite the process but I don't know if it's available in your country. Please do talk to the visa officer when you submit your application.
Thanks for the video. I have a question, I booked without a credit card and then cancelled day before check in date, but booking is saying I owe money. How will they be able to collect that money from me if they don’t have my payment information?
How did you cancelled the booking? Normally if we cancel should be no problem. You can't cancel your booking just day before check -in. To avoid charging anything from booking.com in future please use different email for all future booking until you settle with booking.com
Just explain that you are not working. There's a reason that why some nationalities needs visa and others not. If you have a job or business or even if you are a student it's always better to prove them by providing employment letters, business registration or admission letters.
@The Simple Travel they said americans don't need visa if it below 30 days but visa required for longer then 30 days. I've been there in the past but only below the 30 day limit without visa extension
@@hey586 Do they provide any visa for longer than 30 days? I heard that some gets their first extension at NAIA after initial 30 days on arrival stamped. Please look at the BI websites or their embassy page.
