Filipinos tend to associate traveling with having a hard time obtaining visas. But who says you have to get visas before you can venture on a great overseas trip?  Why not start with Philippines’ neighboring countries which would not require a visa?

You’d probably heard of ASEAN over the news, and you might know a little information about it. Well, let me tell you a few more about its members and the benefits we can get as Filipinos.

Philippine Passport

In 1967, the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) was founded to strengthen regional solidarity and cooperation among member countries and aims to create one of the largest single market economies in the world, promoting the free movement of goods, services, travel, and tourism.

These ten countries are Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, including the Philippines. They have strong political, financial and cultural ties with each other. But their ties are not just for economic purposes alone. Their connection also aims to boost travel and tourism industry – thus not requiring the citizens of ASEAN countries a visa when traveling to another member country (for a limited number of days).

The only requirements you need: PASSPORT with six months validity, onward or return flight ticket and hotel bookings (or any proof that you have a place to stay).

P.S. Worried about the Philippines Immigration? Here are our tips on how not to get offloaded!

Here’s the List of all ASEAN countries Philippines Passport Holders Can Visit Visa-Free.

1. Brunei Darussalam

Philippine passport holders are allowed to enter Brunei Darussalam for 14 days without the need for entry visas. This is only applicable for tourism purposes.

  27. Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many times the Asean visa privelege can be used in a year? That is, if I were to be near the border of Thailand and Malaysia, for example, could I just go back and forth until my passport is full, or is there a limit? Thanks!

  28. Hi! Thanks for your informative blogs, esp. this one! I aim to teach English for 3-5 yrs in either Asia or Latin America, ( Singapore, Taiwan or Thailand) /(Colombia/Peru, etc.). I highly prefer the first one, but I’m confused how to pursue for I’d need to bring my mom, as soon as possible with me (my only dependent). Any idea at which country/countries are they allowing a constant exit to a nearby country and re-entry (within our allowed visa-free period)? So I could have my mom join me in a tourist visa while I couldn’t petition her yet? Your idea/advice
    would be highly appreciated-thanks!

  39. Hi Miss Kash plan to go to Singapore for 4days & 3nights, visa-free po diba?. Tanong ko lng po ano po need po ba ng show money, proof of accomodation and proof of ticket roundtrip?. Ano po ba need pagdating dun. Thanks po.

    1. I’m always visiting Singapore every year and even spent 18 days as a backpacker so I learn Singapore the way Singaporean do. It was easy. Visa upon arrival that a huge factor, but you must show your return ticket or an onward ticket/boarding pass & you must indicate where you want to stay in Singapore. Meaning writes the exact/complete address of the hotel or the apartment wherever you want to stay on the immigration card; however, needless to show your hotel confirmation. They will take your words for it. This will be checked after scanning your passport. “Show money” is not required unless you present yourself at the counter like a homeless person. SG immigration is very efficient, if nothing pops up on their criminal records, you will pass the counter in less than 40 seconds. The in and out of Singapore is the easiest airport I’ve ever been.

      1. Hi! I’m eyeing on teaching English for 3-5yrs in SG. My main concern is I’d need to bring my mom with me (my only dependent), as soon as possible. I’ve read online about their strict requirements on a high salary esp. for a singler person like me . Honestly it seemed close to impossible, at this time. Since we’re allowed 30days currently..will it be possible for my mom to exit to nearby countries and re-enter SG each time? Or is it true that SG is already strict too on this “technique”? Or at least, how many times may we re-enter under Tourist visa? (my concern is my momy, she’s a Senior Citizen and is no longer working). Will highly appreciate your insights-thanks!

    2. U need return ticket n hotel.booking.no show.money.but u.must hv extra money…singapore is expensive all n everything..be ready ur pocket for that.

  40. Hi I find your blog ery informaive. I have a queation. I am planning to travel in asia with my son and a companion for at least 2 months for a vacation. What countriea would you recommend if from phils to another country to another country or countries then return back to phils from the last country that we visited instead of returning back to the first country we visited? Or does it require that we need to return back phils before we can depart and visit another country? Will appreciate your response. Than you in advance!

    1. I recommend you to go to Hong Kong for 2 days then Macau by Ferry for 2 days then fly to Hanoi Vietnam or Vientiane Laos. From Vientiane, you can go to Bankok Thailand by bus or plane. Then go to Malaysia by train or plane. Then Malaysia to the Philippines. All countries are visa-free.

  41. Hi my husband is from Dominican Republic but a green card holder, we are planning to go to Philippines do we need to get him a visa, if so how long does that usually take, pls advise thank u
