Wife...(thai) and I US..want to do a 4 day tourist trip to Manila.

One site says no visa...one site says visa and must pay...$50 dollars and up...each.

A Fillipino friend that lives here says....walk in...no problem...maybe show return flight and hotel...

I know and can do the Digital arrival card...for there and 1 back for me.

Any help?

No VISA required, 30 days waiver on entry as often as you like.

You can stay 2 years without leaving.

They've never asked me for a return flight, or a hotel booking, but it is mentioned in the embassy site (below).

I've never had an advance booking, I always rocked up and walked around until I fould a place I liked the look of.

OK,

Thais need hotel booking and travel insurance.

But western people don't.

The $50 site sounds like a scam.

You just got hacked for $50. Say thank you!
