It isn't very easy to apply for a visa. So I'm really glad there are places we could visit visa-free.
But also, I am proud about the places I've been to where I had to apply for a visa to enter.
It was hard work, but certainly all worth it.

There are still so many places to visit. And I hope one day it will be easier for us Filipinos
to get visas. Better still, I hope one day, we'll live in a world without borders. :)


Just sharing this funny story, although it wasn't funny at that time.
(I guess we all know how difficult it is to apply for a visa).
The Japanese embassy gave me another person's visa!
When I opened my passport where the visa was glued,
I was so shocked to see a man's face staring at me. Haha.
They changed it, of course.


I just realized I've been to China three times. And I'm going back in May.
Oh, I love Beijing and I'm already very excited.


This was one of the most memorable trips I made. And I want to go back.
Dear Universe, are you listening?


I want another Schengen visa, too. Still in my dreams list -- Italy.
And I certainly want to go back to France.

  1. I have two babaw short-term travel goals: to go someplace that requires a visa, and to go on a trip that requires a layover, haha! Hopefully we get to have a Japan visa this year. :)

    I wish I can travel to all the countries on this list. *sigh*

  3. You're lucky to have visited China several times. Beijing must be exciting to see.
    One thing very tempting when visiting Europe is being in different countries in a short time. One can be in France in the morning and be in Switzerland by noon, and Italy the next day. Looking forward to your pictures!

  8. Hi K! This is the link from the Embassy of India: http://www.embindia.org.ph/tourist_visa.php

    Visas are issued upon arrival. But you also have a choice to get your visa prior to traveling.

    For Taiwan, there are conditions (such as the one mentioned in this entry).
    It was in the news, here's a link to the article:

    Re references: just google each of the countries' websites or blogs/sites with this list.

  17. Thanks for sharing this list! It's a real bummer when you have to apply for a visa to visit a country you like, even worse when you get denied after all that trouble and cost for a visa application so it's good to know there are a lot of other countries to choose from that are not only in SE Asia. Your blog is very informative and a great inspiration to go travel. :)
