Philippines travel GUIDE

Citizens from 59+ countries can enter visa-free for up to 30 days. You'll need to register via eTravel before arrival. If you plan to stay longer, visa extensions are available at immigration offices in major cities like Manila, Cebu, and Puerto Princesa.

The dry season (November to May) offers the best weather for most activities. June to October is the usual rainy season, but you can still travel—just expect occasional storms and plan accordingly. Surfing season varies by region, with different coasts having ideal conditions at different times, though it's usually best during the rainy season.

Budget travelers can get by on $30-50 per day, mid-range travelers $50-100, and luxury travelers $100+. Costs vary significantly between regions; tourist hotspots are pricier than rural countryside or provincial areas.
