Question

Do I need a visa to enter the Philippines?

Answer

Autralian passport holders and U.S. Citizens planning to enter and visit the Philippines for 30 days or less do not need a visa prior to travel to the Philippines, provided their U.S. passport is valid and they have a valid return ticket. British nationals are allowed to enter the Philippines without a visa granting that they have a valid passport, with 6 months remaining validity beyond the intended stay and an onward/return ticket. British travelers can stay up to 21 days visa-free.

Question

How do I get from the International Terminal (3) at NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) in Manila to Domestic Terminal 4?

Answer

Please give yourself 3-4 hours between flights so you have enough time to get to the other terminal. There are inter-terminal shuttle buses that you can get on (some websites say they are free if you show your plane ticket). You can use these buses or get a taxi to the next terminal (Try not to pay more than 200 PHP for taxi). Transfer by shuttle bus (Manila International Airport Authority) NEW: The air-side Shuttle bus NOTE: These buses are for transfer passengers only. You have to show your ongoing flight ticket. Transportation is free. These buses operate 24 hours. During the day - every 30 minutes. From 11 pm to 5 am - every 50 minutes. How to find the bus stops of the shuttle bus: NAIA-1: Do not leave the terminal. Arrival level, head to the right. NAIA-2: Leave the terminal building and head to the right. NAIA-3: Do not leave the terminal. Arrival level, head left then make another left. NAIA-4: Upon entering the arrival zone, head to the left.

Question

Can I exchange USD to PHP on the island?

Answer

There are a number of banks on the island that will change Dollars or Euros. Most resorts have this service as well. There are ATM’s at the D’Mall that you can withdraw from. You can usually get a better exchange rate if you do it before heading to the Philippines. Ideally, paying in cash is the better way of settling bills when in restaurants or malls, as some small restaurants/resorts/shops may charge for credit card usage. Please confirm with your resort regarding their payment policy.

Question

Do most places on the island take credit card?

Answer

While hotels and other major establishments accept credit card as a form of payment, you will likely need cash if you purchase anything from street vendors, purchase activities, commute via tricycle, tip bag handlers or tip for any other services.

Question

What do they mean when they say +++ or NETT on pricing?

Answer

Each plus is for an additional fee: +Service charge (7%) +VAT (value added tax 10%) + Business tax (2-3%) This is equivalent to tip and tax in the US. There is no need to tip additional if these are included in the total. NETT refers to a price inclusive of all the above.

Question

Do I need an outlet converter?

Answer

Philippines operates on 220v electricity, meaning most of you will need a converter. Many resorts and hotels have outlets for your electronics, but it is best to be on the safe side. We recommend this universal power adapter: https://www.amazon.com/NEWVANGA-Universal-Worldwide-Adapter-Charging/dp/B01FO4W5W2/ref=ice_ac_b_dpb?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1515267304&sr=1-1&keywords=universal+power+adapter
