Philippines Travel and Vacation – Good to know
German citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 30 days in the Philippines. For longer stays, you must apply for a visa. This can be done online or at the Philippine embassy. Plan your trip in advance to avoid unnecessary complications.
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila is the largest and busiest airport in the Philippines. It offers numerous international flights and good connections to other cities in the country. For a more relaxed stay, consider flights to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), which also serves as a gateway to the Visayas.
The currency of the Philippines is the Philippine Peso (PHP). While many businesses in cities accept credit cards, it is advisable to always have some cash on hand, especially in rural areas. ATMs are widely available, but fees may apply. Plan to have about 50% of your expenses in cash.
Vaccinations against hepatitis A, typhoid, and tetanus are recommended. A travel insurance is strongly advised to cover unexpected medical costs. Also, check the current travel advisories regarding health risks before you travel.
If you want to drive in the Philippines, you will need an international driving permit along with your national driving license. Driving is on the left side. To be safe and stress-free on the road, you should familiarize yourself with the local traffic rules in advance.
SIM cards are easily available in the Philippines. Buy a local SIM card at the airport or in stores/telecom shops in the city. Providers like Globe and Smart offer affordable options. Check the tariff plans and decide which one best suits your needs. Activate the card immediately for an easy stay.
