Iraq

Philippine has lifted ban from travelling to Iraq. (renewed passport and restriction is no longer there)

Amendment and reference should be made. 220.255.1.152 (talk) 17:26, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Turkey

Philippine passport holders are now eligible to apply for an E-Visa to Turkey, which is a fast and easy way to get a visa.

It is only conditional, if holding an OECD visa.--Twofortnights (talk) 09:59, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Traveling With Green Card

There are a variety of nations in the world that allow Filipinos in with a valid US Green Card. Should not these be listed as well?

Nations such as Canada, Mexico, China, and I know there are others... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.92.40 (talk) 02:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Taiwan???

I don't see Republic of China/Taiwan listed. I know that the People's Republic doesn't recognize Taiwan but that doesn't mean the wikipedia shouldn't.

Dominica

The webpage referenced as the source for there being no visa required for this country is the webpage for El Salvador. This can't be correct. Frenchmalawi (talk) 17:39, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

That is not true.--Twofortnights (talk) 18:27, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

St. Kitts and Nevis - Electronic Entry Visa?

User: Twofortnights says an electronic visa is available for St. Kitts. I followed the website linked and found no such thing. Quite the opposite, with one required to send off the passport and supporting docs to St. Kitts. If there is an EEV process, please provide a link / source to where the St. Kitts government confirms this. Source given does not provide this. Thanks. Frenchmalawi (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

For extra clarity, while KLM website refers to an "eVisa" for St. Kitts, it in turn refers reader to St. Kitts website [1]. It is there that I can find no evidence of an eVisa procedure, with a passport and supporting docs and cheque for the fee all required to be sent to St. Kitts. Frenchmalawi (talk) 00:50, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

So the information is that:

Visitors can obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) prior to arrival at https://evisa.gov.kn/evisa-prod/ . They must hold a printed copy of the Electronic Entry Visa (EEV) letter at the time of travel. The visitor must present the same passport as indicated on the EEV letter. Fee (paid on arrival): USD 100. Enquiries related to EEVs can be directed to the EEV Assistance Line at +1-869-465-8470 or by email at sknvisa@gov.kn . Additional information is available at http://www.stkittsnevis.org/visas.html.

I have no reason to doubt this information. If you do have reason to doubt it, please do not hesitate to share your evidence. But as it stands right now, SKN issues EEV.--Twofortnights (talk) 18:00, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

User: Twofortnights - in line with my earlier post, I had read the KLM information. I then proceeded to actually follow the links that they give. Have you done so? I have reason to doubt the accuracy of the information because I did not find any way to obtain a St. Kitts visa online. Specifically, you have referenced: [2] - this page; which does not provide access to submitting an electronic visa. Please follow the link and show me where I am wrong if you disagree. All it does is go to a web page that provides access to the visa form that you must fill out or another page that allows you to track the progress on your existing application. [3] is a page that provides certain info on St. Kitts visas. Without getting into a word for word description of its contents it deals with:

Visa-Exempt Nationalities Commonwealth Countries Organization of American States (OAS) Countries Other Countries Visa Application Instructions [NOTE: the link provided here on tihs topic is to a domain name that is for sale; no information is given pursuant to this link] Visa Form, fill-in form [Note: This is a link to a dead web-page] Visa Form [This links to filling in an old fashioned visa app. form that one fills out, prints off and sends off etc.] eVISA [This is a link back to the page I described above, i.e. [4]] In the circumstances, if St. Kitts & Nevis does offer eVisas, the "sources" provided in no way demonstrate that this is in fact the case. If St. Kitts & Nevis provides eVisas, proper sources need to be provided. Until then, it should not be listed as providing eVisas Frenchmalawi (talk) 18:31, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

You need to click on "request visa" and follow from there.--Twofortnights (talk) 16:33, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

I previously did so and indeed received a reference number for my application. Have you done that? In no way did that lead on to anything like being able to obtain a eVisa. One can simply fill out the form online and obtain the reference. The rest of the process is the same as it ever was. No eVisa. The sources provided for the suggestion that an eVisa can be obtained from SKN remain inadequate. You have not provided proper sources. Frenchmalawi (talk) 23:40, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I am sorry but you don't even understand the main source. It's not KLM, as the Dutch airline has nothing to do with this. It's the Timatic database of the International Air Transport Association and it's very credible. It doesn't mean that it contains no mistakes but it usually doesn't make things up and the _{Visitors can obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) prior to arrival at https://evisa.gov.kn/evisa-prod/ . They must hold a printed copy of the Electronic Entry Visa (EEV) letter at the time of travel. The visitor must present the same passport as indicated on the EEV letter.

Additional information is available at http://www.stkittsnevis.org/visas.html} is hardly a typo. They got this information from the SKN. Still, it could be wrong, but you need a verifiable reliable published source to refute it. Your personal experiences fall under WP:NOR and cannot be used.--Twofortnights (talk) 21:39, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

If eVisas are available, under Wikipedia rules you must provide an accurate source showing they are available. You have not done so. You suggest I am engaged in WP:NOR. This is not correct. I have simply followed the sources you provided and demonstrated they do not stack up. This is a relatively straightforward case. If eVisas are available, by the very nature of eVisas, you must be able to point us to a website where eVisas are available. I believe your insistence on listing SKN as providing eVisas is in breach of Wikipedia:Five pillars including Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. The Wiki Community has a guiding principle of accuracy. It appears that we have reached a dead-end and cannot agree. Perhaps we can discuss which wider forum we could bring this dispute to? I'd be interested in your suggestions. Frenchmalawi (talk) 13:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I have provided a source that states that they are available. And there is also a link to the website where you may obtain them. You keep saying that they are not available but that's only your story, do you have any verifiable published reliable sources backing up your claim? If you still have doubts you may contact IATA directly at timediting@iata.org where you can raise the issue. In case you were right they will remove the incorrect information and we will then edit the article. Thank you.--Twofortnights (talk) 14:41, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Visa requirements map

Can someone edit the visa requirements map? I believe Israel sould be highlighted in green color, because Filipinos can visit Israel without a visa. Thank you. Sephthegentleman (talk) 07:53, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Kuwait is must also be edited, because Filipinos are not eligible to obtain an e-visa. Sephthegentleman (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, what I mean is Bahrain, not Kuwait. Sephthegentleman (talk) 07:58, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the notification.--Twofortnights (talk) 11:14, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

I think Bahrain and Burundi should be updated in the article's visa requirements map. Because Filipinos are already eligible to apply for Bahrain visas online, while Burundi has resumed the visa on arrival policy for all visa-requuring foreigners. Thanks.-- Sephthegentleman (talk) 06:53, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Why is Oman shaded in green color? I think it should be in gray color, because Filipinos are still required to have a visa before travel to Oman.-- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sephthegentleman (talk • contribs) 12:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Visa requirements for Filipino citizens → Visa requirements for Philippine citizens – For the simple fact that the previous RM had no discussion or debate. A Filipino is not necessarily a Philippine citizen. "Filipino" can refer to the culture and ethnicity, while "Philippine" refers to the country, its citizens, the government, etc. In the same manner that Malays≠Malaysians. I believe it's necessary to make the distinction. Although, even the government's own page on citizenship law interchanges the terms, so I'm not sure which they consider as official.

• Support. Wikipedia's main title header for the country article is Philippines, therefore the header for this article should use the English form of the country's name in the manner depicted under Category:Visa requirements by nationality (if any non-standard examples are found there, those should also be submitted for revision). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 14:07, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Israeli stamps

Raykyogrou0 TonyBallioni Genealogizer @BushelCandle +Twofortnights, the problem with the Israeli stamps us that them seem to target specific type of countries: East Asian/West Pacific [China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea (South), Philippines, San Marino, and Thailand], major historically-Catholic countries [Andorra, Brazil, France, Hungary, Mexico, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, and Spain], and some random set of countries [Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Norway, and Serbia]. It explicitly excludes most Anglophone countries except Australia and New Zealand, African countries, Carribean countries, and certain large countries such as India, Italy, and Russia. There seem to be an intrinsic reason why the editor is intent on forewarning people from these countries. That and the statement reamins unsourced which may equate to vandalism. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 20:00, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

One of the problems with remote, non-face-to-face written communication is that it lacks both verbal clues and cues in the tone of voice and expression. Let's assume good faith here by all editors and not rush to think that there is some subtle and secret conspiracy to discourage international travel by holders of particular passports.

I suspect that the omissions are due to the sheer toil and labour of adding the various non-visa restrictions to some of our articles and then keeping them up-to-date and relevant.

to make this task easier (and to allay your fears, I hope?) I have started inserting this template: Template:N-VR into some of the articles you mention above and I will now go and use the same template on this article... BushelCandle (talk) 15:58, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Armenia

As per their governments website there is no allowance of 'visa on arrival'. It is eVisa only. My edit was reverted even though the only ref. given was the very same page I went to check.

"Citizens of the selected country with ORDINARY passports are REQUIRED to hold a visa when travelling to the Republic of Armenia.

Citizens of the selected country holding ORDINARY passports are ELIGIBLE to obtain the visa upon arrival in Armenia (at the border) or apply for E-VISA.

To obtain the visa it is necessary to present passport, photo, fill the application form, pay a non-refundable visa application fee and present other non-mandatory supporting documents (air ticket, hotel reservation, invitation and etc.) depending on the purpose of travel to the Republic of Armenia.

The passport needs to be valid during the whole period of stay in the Republic of Armenia.

It is recommended to apply for E-VISA.

The typical wait time for processing the visa is up to 3 working days when applying by E-VISA system.

Twofortnights .. why did you revert my edit?

Dava4444 (talk) 06:26, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

eVisa only applies to Filipinos with valid other visas or residence permits. Not for typical Filipinos who don't have those... please edit it .

This goes out to other countries like Turkey and other European nations. DavaoDude (talk) 17:00, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
