What should Chinese citizens pay attention to when handling entry and exit formalities at Philippine airports?

In light of the recent situation encountered by Chinese citizens entering and leaving the Philippines, and after verification and confirmation with the Philippine entry and exit administration department, I would like to remind Chinese citizens coming to the Philippines to go through the entry and exit formalities at the airport as follows:

According to the usual practice and the requirements of the Philippine side, passengers coming to the Philippines must book a connecting ticket to return to the place of departure or to the next destination, otherwise they will be refused entry.

· The travel documents of visitors to the Philippines should be valid for more than half a year, otherwise entry will be affected.

· Self-help tourists (individual tourists) to the Philippines should apply for visas in advance and provide supporting materials for travel in the Philippines, such as air ticket orders to foreign islands, hotel accommodation orders, etc., otherwise they will be deemed to be detained or illegal work. Suspected and refused entry.

Passengers coming to the Philippines should be properly dressed and have the right amount of luggage. The purpose of coming to the Philippines should be consistent with the contents of the visa, otherwise they may be refused entry.

Before applying for a visa to the Philippines again, tourists who have come to the Philippines and have been refused entry should apply to the Philippine Immigration Bureau for re-examination of their qualifications according to the Philippine Immigration Law or check with the Philippine Embassy or Consulate in China for confirmation. Otherwise, even if they obtain a visa, they will still not be able to enter the country.

Passengers with high name repetition rate (including the same name and pinyin) may be affected by the fact that people with the same name and surname or pinyin are on the Philippine blacklist. Relevant passengers can check with the Philippine embassy or consulate in China for confirmation before coming to the Philippines.

Passengers who come to the Philippines with tourist visas and stay for less than 24 hours will be considered to have impure motives and will not be allowed to enter the Philippines (the Philippines calls such ID cards RUN VISA).

· The Philippine government has made great efforts to strengthen and improve the entry and exit management of the airport and create a clean image. Passengers should not provide tips to airport officials, otherwise they will be regarded as suspected of bribery and will be refused entry or even prosecuted.

· According to the cultural traditions and religious habits of the Philippines, visitors to the Philippines should be gentle, rational and restrained, and avoid loud and aggressive words. If there is friction and dispute with Philippine officials, they will be regarded as flouting Philippine laws and regulations and offending Philippine government officials and will be restricted from entering the country.

· In August 2017, the Philippine Immigration Bureau announced the implementation of landing visa for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports, but the specific measures are still being further improved. The relevant procedures still need to be completed before entering the country. Please consult the Philippine Immigration Bureau for details.
