According to the consensus reached at the third China-China Consular Consultation held in Beijing on July 27th, 2006, the Philippine side has revised its visa policy concerning citizens as follows:

First, relax the visa policy for China tourists to visit the Philippines. According to the new regulations of the Philippine side, all China tourists (at least 3 people) who come to the Philippines and are received by travel agencies authorized by the Philippine government can apply for visas on arrival at any international entry port in the Philippines, and the longest stay in the Philippines is no more than 14 days; Individual tourists from China to the Philippines received by travel agencies authorized by the Philippine government can also enjoy the above policies. In addition, the visa fees for group tourists from China have been reduced, from $25 per person for groups of 3 to 19 people to $15 per person for groups of 20 or more.

Second, the solution to the visa problem of journalists from China in the Philippines. According to the new regulations of the Philippine side, China journalists who have worked in the Philippines for no more than 6 months (including 6 months) should apply for a temporary visit visa (9A visa) before coming to the Philippines, and the Immigration Bureau will issue a Special work permit for them after coming to the Philippines.

Working

Permits）。 The license is valid for 3 months and can be extended for another 3 months; China journalists who have worked in the Philippines for more than six months have two choices: first, they should apply to the Philippine Labor Department for a foreigner employment permit with the assistance of their work units in the Philippines before coming to the Philippines (Alien

Employment

Permit), and apply for a work visa (9G visa) from the Philippine Immigration Bureau with this permit. If the application is approved, the Philippine Foreign Ministry will notify the Philippines and embassies and consulates in China to issue a visa to the applicant; Option 2: Apply for a temporary visit visa (9A visa) before coming to the Philippines, and apply to the Philippine Immigration Bureau for changing to a work visa (9G visa) according to the relevant regulations after arrival.

Is it better to travel freely in Boracay or join a group tour?

In Boracay's words, the choice is in the same order in principle and the degree of trouble, and it is a semi-self-help tour group with free flight wine package. In the final analysis, it depends on your own requirements for travel, because such things as islands are free to play, whether they are set by yourself or with a group, but the number of channels and choices is different, and any island is the same suggestion. Talk about the three separately, and then choose according to your needs.

First of all, free travel, free travel in the island, more freedom of choice will have a lot of room. Time arrangement and hotel arrangement are all optional, but you need to make a good choice according to your needs. Whether to watch the sunrise for two days or the sunset for two days, or stay in the white sand beach; Whether to stay in a high-end hotel in S1 or experience saving budget in S123, these are all things for free travellers to do. But compared with the latter two, you can choose a lot more hotels, and you can decide how many days you want to stay.

In addition, there is the machine wine package. Compared with free travel, the machine wine package may be a little cheaper, but the choice will be much less, just like the time and hotel mentioned above. However, because there are few choices, you can save a lot of trouble. After all, free travel takes a lot of brains. By the way, the direct flight to Long Beach is not the charter flight of Saipan, so there is no such thing as no need to travel by boat. And even direct flights are not available in every city, and not everyone lives in a city with direct flights to the airport, so this can be ignored.

Finally, it is semi-self-help. The difference between semi-buffet and machine wine set meal is that there are fewer choices, cheaper, and a shopping spot. As I said, the island and the group basically play by themselves, so they have to plan their own trips. Semi-self-help is a fixed form of hotel. Although it is cheap, there will always be a shopping spot in the end. After all, everyone knows that wool is on sheep ... So in the end, how to choose it depends on personal needs ~

I suggest free travel for the following reasons:

1. Now you can find the travel guide everywhere on the Internet. Doing your homework in advance and increasing your knowledge can also make you know more about the travel process.

2. Free travel, convenience, no constraints, planning your own route, and playing more attractions.

Of course, travel should be based on your own situation. If the public security is not good and the cultural differences are great, it is still recommended to report to the group.

Thank you for inviting me!

Just ask me this question.

Boracay, the answer I gave you was that the travel agency signed up.

1. In fact, there is no such thing as traveling with a group or not traveling with a group in Boracay, because the Boracay made by travel agencies is 100% machine-added wine, which is called free travel or semi-free travel! And it's all pure fun! The products are very rich!

2. The Boracay flights of travel agencies are basically direct flights by charter flights, regardless of the high price and quality, and the cost performance is OK! If you travel by yourself, the air tickets are basically transit tickets! Waste people and money!

3. Everyone has a misunderstanding about the travel agency. When signing up, I feel that the travel agency's routes are all shopping early and greedy! Actually, there are many good routes for travel agencies as long as you don't covet cheap and rational consumption. ▽? )

And you can trust me privately if you don't know ~

In fact, these two ways of traveling really have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you are traveling with a group, it will be particularly easy. You don't have to worry about anything. You just need to follow. When you get to the place, you can pay for it. Generally, there won't be much difference.

But it seems that it depends on your luck to join the group. If you are lucky, you may have a good time with a good tour guide or a travel agency. If you are unlucky, you can only hold your breath and play. It depends on luck, haha.

Many people may be worried and scared about free travel. After all, many things abroad and at home are different. The first hurdle is the language problem, such as local daily communication, filling in the entry information card, etc. However, I suggest you download a translation software in advance to ensure that the mobile phone has electricity for a long time, which is enough.

Some projects may be more cost-effective, so it's more cost-effective to apply for a tour when you arrive in Boracay. Moreover, the tourism in Southeast Asian countries is constantly improving, and many places provide Chinese translation, so there is no problem in communication, and there are many kinds of services, so there is more room for choice.

When traveling to Long Beach, it is more beneficial to travel independently than to travel with a group.

When you visit Long Beach, you should arrange enough travel time, and you can enjoy eating, drinking, and traveling.

Starting from Jiangsu, after nearly eight hours of rotation by sea, land and air, you can reach Boracay. Going to Long Beach for free seems to be expensive to stay, take transportation and travel with a group. On the island, the advantages of free travel are fully displayed.

The local seafood is super cool and cheap, so you can let go of your belly and enjoy it. All kinds of delicious food can completely dilute the young people's weight loss plan.

As long as you hear the music, the people on the island can sing and dance at any time and welcome you warmly. Living in a sea view room, you can freely enjoy the sunshine and seawater bathing. There are no tourist attractions, and the shopping plan is urging.

On the island, you can adjust your arrangement at will, have fun in your own interest, and persistently arrange a day to take pictures of the sea view. Traveling with a group can't be compared.

If you want to travel to the Philippines, do you have any local Chinese friends in the Philippines? Can you briefly introduce where it is fun?

The Philippines is an archipelagic country, and the island tour is the main way to the Philippines. Some popular places in the Philippines, such as Cebu, Duma Gaidi, Boracay, etc. I think there have been answers about Cebu and Duma Gaidi in the answer questions. I will focus on Boracay here, hoping that the following strategies can help you.

Why do you recommend Boracay? Personally, I think Boracay is more suitable for all kinds of people, whether young or old or a family of three with children. The main reasons are rich tourism resources, beautiful scenery and relatively mature tourism infrastructure, which is very suitable for short-term holidays. There is also a lot of food, suitable for all kinds of people of all tastes.

How many days is it suitable to stay in Boracay?

A: Personally, I think it is more appropriate to stay on the island for 4-7 days (for China people).

How to get to Boracay?

A: I recommend three ways to travel. The first way is completely free travel. This way is suitable for travelers and people who like to do their own raiders and have certain oral English skills. Recommend Air Asia. Of course, the comfort of low-cost airlines is not very good. You can transfer to Caticlan in Manila. Although it is a transfer, you can spend a day or two in Manila before going to Boracay. The most important thing is that Cardickland Airport is very close to Shangdao Pier in Boracay, and it takes less than 5 minutes to get off the plane and get on a tutu bus. The second way is domestic direct flight. At present, domestic direct flight to Boracay is to Caribaux Airport, but Caribaux Airport is about 1.5H-2H away from the port of Boracay Island. The third one I personally recommend is to participate in the free travel arranged by the travel agency (free travel means free travel, not shopping, and there will be no shopping). The travel agency is responsible for visas, hotel reservations and all transportation. The advantage is that it saves worry and effort, but the disadvantage is that the price is slightly more expensive than that of group tours. However, the above three modes of travel take almost the same time to arrive in Boracay, and basically all take 10-12 hours directly.

About visas

A: The Philippines implements part of landing visa, mainly for landing visa, a travel agency authorized by the Philippine government. Personal landing visa is no good now. But we have everything. If you search for "Philippine visa" on the Internet, there will be many. There are many people traveling, so you should be able to bargain. The visa fee is between 180 and 200.

Focus! The Philippine government granted China visa-free entry for 7 days if he had a valid visa for the following Schengen countries because of his private passport. To put it simply, if you have a limited visa from Australia, the United States, Canada and Japan, and it is a valid visa (except for the United States, which is valid for 10 years, others are valid for one year), then you can go directly to the Philippines and enjoy their visa-free policy. The reason why we decided to go to the Philippines temporarily at that time was because we had a valid visa in the United States, so we took a trip that we said we would leave.

About cross-border travel insurance

A: Insurance is also selected on Taobao, and the price varies from 50 yuan to 100 yuan (mainly depending on the amount insured). However, there are still a few minor problems that need attention: ① Overseas travel insurance depends not only on the amount insured, but also on whether it includes aviation insurance, overseas hospitalization allowance, emergency medical transportation and return, etc. If they travel through a travel agency, they will promote their aviation insurance when they meet at the airport. You may ask, why buy aviation insurance separately? Isn't there insurance in the cost of joining the group? Yes, there is accident insurance, but it does not include aviation accident insurance, and the insurance coverage of travel agencies is between 100,000 and 300,000, which is relatively low. Therefore, I think everyone has already traveled abroad, and it is also for peace of mind and peace of mind for individuals to buy cross-border travel insurance separately.

About the entry and exit of the Philippines

A: I'll illustrate it with the picture below? ?

Focus again! All documents given by the customs after entry should be kept well and cannot be lost. When returning to China, the Philippine Customs will collect all documents before leaving the country. So, be sure to take good care of it. Once it is lost, the consequences will be very serious.

On the map and distribution of Boracay.

A: Boracay has a small overall area, with the most beautiful white sand beaches and the most beautiful sunset in the world. Boracay is mainly divided into three docks, and everyone likes to call them S1, S2 and S3 for short, that is, Pier 1, Pier 2 and Pier 3. The diagram is as follows? ?

Keep focusing! Below? ? The area marked in yellow is a mountainous area, and the famous online celebrity Hotel or five-star hotel in Boracay is on the mountain.

However, it is worth noting that if you live in the mountains, you will face the problem of travel safety and convenience. Although most of these hotels have air-conditioned cars that arrive at S1 free of charge, they all need to make an appointment in advance or arrange travel according to the time of the shuttle bus, and their freedom is limited. Especially at night, what if the hotel shuttle bus leaves work? It doesn't feel safe to take tutu up the mountain at night. Of course, hotels in mountainous areas also have its advantages, that is, the scenery is very good and very quiet. Those who don't like the hustle and bustle, who have requirements for the hotel environment can choose to live on the mountain, like the bustle, and hope that the surrounding infrastructure is convenient, it is recommended to choose hotels in S1 and S2. The hotels in S3 are relatively cheaper and cost-effective.

About the road to Boracay.

A: Why should we talk about highways in Boracay specifically? We should mainly give some suggestions to donkey friends who want to live in the mountains. There is only one road in Boracay, which is similar to a country road in China. In April 2018, due to environmental reasons, the Philippine government began to rectify the Boracay and reopened it to the outside world in October 2008. When we went to the island in May 2019, we found that many places and roads were still under construction. Therefore, the only road was still under construction in the direction of S1 to Puka Beach. This is the "mountain area" I mentioned above. Is this the picture below? ?

On Boracay's "Play"

A: There are too many strategies for Boracay's play on the Internet, so I won't give them one by one. Boracay is mainly about leisure and scenery, experiencing flaming "take-off and landing sails" and playing exciting cliff jumping (very exciting but also safe). I can't tell you the heartbeat feeling of jumping from a 10-meter-high cliff. However, it is really a good way to challenge your inner fears and make yourself braver. In addition to the 10-meter cliff springboard, there are 1-meter, 3-meter and 6-meter ones, which are suitable for people with all kinds of courage (those who can swim can wear life jackets, while those who can't swim can wear life jackets, and there are many "little blacks" on the water to protect everyone, so there is no problem with safety at all. I saw the oldest uncle who was about 70 years old jump off the 6-meter cliff and then became addicted, jumping for N times in a row).

The place where the second hand points in the above picture is a cliff 10 meters high.

There are several beaches in Boracay, the most famous of which is White Sand Beach, also known as "Friday Beach". The sand here is the finest, which is the best place to watch the sunset in Boracay. You can take the "Sunset Sailing" in S1, S2 and S3. However, the setting sun waits for no one, and you can only rely on luck to experience the sunset sail at the best time. (I suggest that if you want to experience the best "sunset sail", it is best to stay in Boracay for a day or two, know the best time of sunset at that time, and experience it on the third or fourth day. ) Let's talk about the second online celebrity Beach, Puka Beach. Why online celebrity? Because of Fish Leong's wedding here. Compared with S1, there are very few people here, and it is very quiet. If you like to stay away from the noise, you can come to Puka Beach for a daze. It is recommended not to go to Puka Beach from 1 pm to 4 pm, preferably after 5 pm. Don't ask me why. If you are not afraid of the sun, I personally think any time is fine. ) Here are some photos of the most beautiful sunset in Boracay? ?

About Boracay's "Eating"

A: Still, there are many food strategies online. This is also the place where I have been to many islands with the most food and the most concentrated food. Or simply explain it with an icon? ?

That's all for now. Today, I mainly shared a small part of the online Boracay Raiders that was not mentioned, and I wrote this small part for nearly 3 hours? ? I hope my question and answer can help you. If you still have any questions about Boracay, you can trust me privately, and you will know everything and say everything.
