MANILA, Philippines — As borders ease for travel even amid the pandemic, many Filipinos planning to go abroad have had to go through the painstaking process of applying for visas in destinations that require them. 

 

Some of these countries include the US, Australia, the United Kingdom and other European countries, as well as Canada, China, and Japan. 

 

Countries may require foreign nationals to obtain a visa, an entry document needed to ensure that one is authorized to enter the destination country in the first place. There are also different kinds of non-immigrant visas issued depending on the purpose of travel.

Could it just be maybe that the Filipino has a worldwide reputation for overstay, illegal working, prostitution and other typs of immigration cheating?????  Several countries have tried to reduce / abolish visas for Filipinos and usually regret it.
