What should be prepared before coming to the Philippines?

What should I do before coming to the Philippines?

A: Before coming to the Philippines, you should complete the relevant residence procedures and obtain the legal right of residence. Overstaying, incomplete residence procedures, and engaging in activities that do not match the type of visa are all violations of Philippine immigration law and may be arrested, fined and repatriated.

In recent years, the Philippine General Administration of Customs, the National Police, and the National Bureau of Investigation have launched joint law enforcement operations against the "One Road" small commodity market near Manila's Chinatown to investigate and deal with goods suspected of entering the Philippines through smuggling channels. Some Chinese traders were unable to produce customs clearance documents or purchase documents, the goods were seized and legal measures were taken. According to the relevant laws of the Philippines, it is illegal for foreign citizens to engage in retail trade in the Philippines. To this end, the Chinese Embassy specially reminds Chinese citizens in the Philippines or planning to come to the Philippines to abide by the relevant laws and regulations of the Philippines, do business in accordance with the law, and do not engage in activities inconsistent with the purpose of the visa.
