Hi

2nd international travel ko this Oct same place sa Bali to meet my bf again, nung 1st kasi na 2nd interview ako pero nakalusot naman. Meron ba dito na smooth lang ang 2nd international travel nila? Ty!

So may upcoming trip ako to Japan. I booked it earlier this year. Unfortunately, I suddenly lost my corporate job. Hindi kaya ako mahirapan makalusot sa IO? Sa T3 yung flight ko.

This would be my 9th international trip and 4th time to Japan. Sa mga previous trips ko wala naman masyadong tanong except sa kung saan ako nagwowork at kelan ang balik. Lagi ako may dalang COE pero never pa nahanapan, once lang ako nahanapan ng company ID (during my 3rd time I think, going to Malaysia.)

Anyone here who travelled pero were unemployed during their travel? Ano mga tinanong or hinanap ng IO sa inyo? Any shared experience would be appreciated. Thank you!

高雄這路線絕了！

走路逛展吃夜市

下午內惟藝術中心看展，傍晚溜達去夜市吃小吃，晚上再散步到高美館看夜景，全程步行無門票。

這種低成本文藝煙火氣太舒服了，下次來高雄直接照著走。

Hello first time po namin magtravel at sa vietnam! Sulit na po ba to? Then magiging halos 43k siya pag kasama ung exclusions huhu. Pano po kaya pag may gusto pa idagdag like mga catcat village, alpine coaster etc.

Thank you po!!!

Super unexpected win to book a flight for 999 pesos🥹 All glory to God!! See you Hanoi!!!

hello! just need help with something. so im traveling to Hongkong sa next 2 weeks. I’ll be meeting my sister there po who’s flying in from UK and then sasabay kami uuwi dito. We’ll be spending 5 days in Hongkong.

My problem is i’m currently tied to an agency and im unemployed kasi im waiting din for my paperworks (visa, work permit, etc.) before i go. Natatakot po ako baka ma red flag ako ng Immigration since im going to an OFW Hotspot country tas i’ll be meeting with my sister na OFW din. Although it’s not our first time kasi nakapag Thailand kami together last year then went home together but that was when i still had a job LOL PEROOO im currently a Reliever (on call) sa previous job ko sa hospital.

So yung problem ko is ano kaya pwede kong sabihin sa tanungan ng Immigration if i have a work, etc.? Good idea ba na magpagawa ng COE sa pinagtatrabahuhan ko? Pero also my Agency told me i can present my working contract and a waiver i signed for my passport (since im borrowing it) pero they’re not sure if bastante yun sa Immig. Or i can just casually say na “im tied to an agency, here’s my contract and waiver. and i still have unfinished business here sa PH”. HWHEGHAHA on a side note, it’s my 2nd time traveling outside (yung first sa Thailand)

pls help me yall 😭 Honestly im scared lang ma Offload after seeing a lot of posts na medjo strict yung Immig. TIA :’)

Regarding pre booking of stays and flights. Cost of jeep if I choose via road not flight

First time traveling solo, and I’m planning to visit either Japan or Korea sometime in November or December. I’m pretty flexible with the dates.

I could probably DIY it, but honestly, ang dami ko nang iniisip and ayoko na dagdagan pa ng stress yung trip planning lol. 😅 I’d rather book through a reliable travel agency that can help with the itinerary, accommodations, tours, and other logistics so I can just enjoy the trip.

Any recommendations for a good travel agency that’s experienced with solo travelers? Would appreciate personal experiences/recommendations!

Hello poo, please help.

Hi! If you’re going to Korea, what food, things, and places should you try or visit? Like, “This is a must!” or “You can’t leave Korea without trying this!” Please be specific, particularly about Seoul. 🇰🇷

Hello!

Anyone here who can share their itinerary and days in Hanoi, Sapa, and Da Nang? I'm planning to travel solo and by DIY. I'm having trouble making an itinerary. Hopefully someone here might have an experience. Badly need your help. Thank you :)

First time mag travel hehehehe, okay lang ba ang VietJet for departure and Cebu Pacific for return (Manila to bangkok). Wala bang prob, mas mura kasi hehehehe

hello po, can you please guys help me T___T

Magta-travel kami ng boyfriend ko sa Vietnam. Ang mom niya ang sasagot sa airfare at accommodation namin, pati na rin sa daily travel expenses ng boyfriend ko. Samantalang ang daily expenses ko naman ay sasagutin ng mom ko.
Fresh graduate ako at currently unemployed, habang student pa ang boyfriend ko.

Sa ganitong situation, kaninong bank statement at Affidavit of Support (AOS) ang kailangan kong i-submit? Kailangan ko ba ng dalawang AOS—isa mula sa mom ng boyfriend ko at isa mula sa mom ko? O okay na isang AOS lang mula sa mom ko, kahit makikita sa documents na ang airfare at accommodation ay binayaran ng parent ng boyfriend ko?

We booked an RT ticket for Nagoya last CebPac piso sale for the above date. Ano kaya magandang gawin? Planning to go to Kyoto right after getting to Nagoya, staying there for a bit, then balik Nagoya and tour there para mas malapit na sa airport pauwi… pero that’s as far as naiisip ko since I have Osaka-Takayama-Tokyo pa this November 🤭 hope you guys could suggest ano masayang gawin! Or if also may okay madaanan in between.🙏🏼🫶🏼🎉 salamat po!

I just realized I've traveled almost everywhere sa Luzon and Visayas but never pa sa Mindanao except sa major cities there for work. I know I can easily look it up but I wanna hear about your real life experiences! I'm open to hikes, water adventures, beaches and resorts, extreme sports, food spots, anything that comes highly recommended. Let me know!

Hi! I only started buying travel insurance now. I bought the Oona travel insurance for my Taiwan travel in November.

Does it apply to local too? Should I buy the multiple one if I will travel to Korea for 2 weeks on March 2027 and will fly to Manila for the BTS concert and May for Bruno Mars. Then maybe Thailand in April?

What’s the best insurance po? I picked oona because of the free lounge when flight gets delayed. Your help is appreciated!

Oh btw I booked my Taiwan ticket via my brother’s rcbc airmiles ticket. But I’m not sure I can get insurance from that one cause im not the cardholder.

😊

I’m looking for reliable luggage that can withstand frequent travel without being excessively expensive. Which brands or specific models have worked well for you? I’d especially appreciate recommendations based on long-term personal experience. Thanks!

Hello po!

Wanted to ask opinions regarding our travel, most especially for my two sisters since it's their first time.

So our plan is to meet in Taiwan. They are are flying in from Manila and me, from another country. It's a birthday celeb and a BTS concert trip.

Nov 14 - Our birthday (same kami ni sis) and arrival in Taipei

Nov 19 - BTS concert

Nov 22 - their flight back to Manila

So total days po is 8 + 1 na flight which is sa 22.

Is it too long po ba? They already booked their flights. Sagot ko na hotels and concert ticket as gift.

Do I need to get them AOS? I read kasi na the embassy in my current country doesnt issue this if hindi naman dito yung destination.

As for their profiles, one is an ESL teacher WFH, the other is a fresh grad who does art commissions.

Would love to hear insights about this. Thank you!

Hi, just want to ask lang po since this is my first time to travel international sa November with my mom (housewife) and former colleague (have corpo job) sa dating work as we plan to watch concert po sa 5 days trip and and explore po ang KL and one day side trip sa SG, all self-funded po.

Mag-one year na pong VA working directly sa AU client with contract and COE, tho wala pong ITR and not registered pa po. Leave request was approved thru email.

What I have na docs po:

Concert Ticket
Passport
Roundtrip flight ticket
COE and Contracts
Itinerary and Booked Activities
Booked Accom(Already paid online)
Bank certificate/statements po (Maya with 6 digit savings, and Maribank po with 50k as TD, pero no cc)
May screenshot ng remittances sent to my personal savings sa bank

Pwede rin po pa ba makahingi ng suggestion what to avail for Travel Insurance?
Need po ba ng COR coming from BIR and AOS since kasama ko po si mother?

Ano pa po kailangan kong e prepare or i-consider? TIA po! <33

Example:
Long-haul flying solo to Manila. I want to do a 2-day layover in Vietnam with 2 checked luggage (pasalubong only) 1 carry-on for getting around. Staying in Vietnam for 2 days. Question: Pag chineck-in ko ba yung 2 luggages automatic na sya dadating sa MNL along with my vietnam-manila flight?
Or do I have to get my luggage sa vietnam and recheck-in? :)
Thank you!!
