Countries Pinoys can visit without a visa
It’s more fun in the Philippines, but amid good
economic news, many Filipinos are traveling abroad both for business and
leisure. Japan has recently allowed multiple-entry visas for Filipino
citizens. South Korea is also reportedly mulling improving visa
requirements for Pinoys.
But did you know that as of June 30, 2013, Filipinos can go to at least 25 other countries without having to worry about visas?
This
is according to an “unofficial” and “indicative” list the Department of
Foreign Affairs made available to Yahoo! Southeast Asia. Filipinos have
however been told to always check with embassies or consulates when
making travel plans, as visa policies change from time to time. (Text by
