Marcus Jeffries

My fiancee is from the philippines, I am from the U.S. I have met her and her family in the philippines twice before, but we
want to meet again in another country while we await her K-1 to be approved. Does anyone have any experience or information
on which countries do not require a visa for her to go? She has a passport..

She doesn't need a visa to go to Hong Kong...at least that how it used to
be.
Why can't she get a visa to other countries in the world? Any issues with
her record?

If I were you, since you don't have a visa problem, I'd go to the
Philippines instead and learn more about the people's culture and your
fiancée real well before you decide to marry her. Twice meeting her is
hardly enough to know about her and her culture.

Hardly a US immigration question this...might have more luck posting else where, or looking at the countries your interested in...

You can go to Hongkong, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and she will not need a Visa... In China she will need but an agent can take care of that even if shes in hongkong already she can ride a train going to china and .comt pay something for one day visa to enter china.

Goodluck

Most Consulates web sites allow you to enter your Nationality and Visit purpose and advise on the visa requirements.

I used to live in Singapore and I'm pretty sure that Filipinas need to have a visa to enter the country. There are *thousands* of FDWs (Foreign Domestic Workers) aka maids from the Philippines working in Singapore (and for that matter, Hong Kong, the UAE eg. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Cyprus) and certainly in Singapore they are very strict about admitting Filipinas - they don't want them working illegally. All maids there have to have a pregnancy test every six months too.

I would double-check for Hong Kong admittance too. I don't think that many countries would allow Filipinas (especially single women of working age) admittance without a visa to be honest.

Thailand -- visa free for 30 day entry
http://www.mfa.go.th/web/2482.php?id=2490

Hong Kong -- visa free for 14 day entry
http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_4.htm

Singapore -- apparently visa free

OP: google the name of the country and the words "visa requirements" and you should be able to find the info you are looking for. Many countries are not like the US in terms of difficulty of getting a visa, so even if she had to obtain a visitor's visa in order to enter a certain country, it could be simply a matter of filling out a form and paying a fee (and in some cases, simply paying a fee on arrival in the foreign country). Why not pick a few countries you are interested in visiting together and then look into the visa requirements.

If your intend visit to Singapore is more than their allowed visit you will need a VISA ... if your GF will book with an agent they will take care of it... Been there I didnt have a problem... Been to Hongkong too... I never applied for a Visa too... Been to China... My agent did the booking as well as the Visa requirement, tried getting the Visa when I get there had no problem too.

I think not all Filipinas whos visiting or travelling Asian countries or even other countries are Maids? And even they are atleast they are hard worker.

I started travelling when I was 20 going Asian countries and I was single having no problem and I have alot of friends who did the same ... I am Filipina by the way.

Anyway, going to other Asian countries will be good though there are alot of good place to visit in the Philippines...

Goodluck. .

Believe it or not, the Philippines is one of the major sources of illegal
aliens and immigration violators anywhere in the world.
With that kind of record it is not unreasonable for other countries,
especially the developed ones, to require visas and restrict Filipino
travels to their countries.

Just Jenney

But that would require the OP to ... **GASP!** ... do some research on his own!!! Why on earth would he do that when he would rather have people look it up for him??

I see Finalizer... so what about Mexico? China? Cuba? Japan? UK? They are not? How about other countries? You mean Filipinos are more here in the US than Mexicana nd Cuban? Well atleast Filipinos come here on the plane not .comt crossing the boarder. meaning we have Visa when we come here and some get a working permit after who knows what else...Why are you generalizing Filipinos anyways? Isn't it before the US was found all the people here .comt came in from other countries? All is immigrant?

Anyway, I wont argue about it If thats what you think... Peace to you...

You need to learn how to comprehend English words logically!. Who said there
are MORE Filipinos here than other nationalities of the countries you have
mentioned above? Read my post again, will you? I didn't say either that
Filipinos are the only violators!
I said, "... the Philippines is ONE of the MAJOR sources of illegal aliens
and immigration violators anywhere in the world." I meant that to be not
just in the US but in every developed countries in the world where you see
Filipinos!
You can't seem to distinguish the difference between being "a major source"
and "the largest source" by your bringing up the skewed idea that I made the
claim that there are "MORE" Filipino violators than anyone else.
Why do you think it's generally so hard for a Filipino to get a visa for
travel into the US? Do you think it's just an arbitrary decision on the US
government part to restrict Filipinos? NO, the US has very good reasons and
it has something to do with the significant history of Filipinos to overstay
their visas once they're given the opportunity to enter the US. There have
been various documented fraud and violations of Filipinos as far as
immigration and it's an understatement to not call it major.
Most Filipinos know about TNTs--tago nang tago in your dialect, meaning they
are here in the US illegally and they are constantly hiding from the
authorities because they know they have violated their status and they don't
want to be deported. I bet there's even a greater odd that you know of one,
a friend or somebody, if not a relative of yours, who is here in the US
illegally or entered in the past illegally. I could tell you specific tricks
used in the Philippines but that would take a long time to enumerate
everything here.

Having worked in a Federal agency dealing with immigrations from the
Philippines, you would need more than just emotional outburst to convinced
me that it's not risky to include the Philippines among the VWP countries!

I can understand that you are not too aware of it. You're not attached to
the UK immigration ministry or any of its agencies, are you?
