NOTE:
- A must to have a valid passport, at least with 6months validity, plane ticket, and extra money for your tour

- Some countries will grant visa on arrival for a fee and other requirements such as proof of funds, etc.


- Some requires to secure a transit visa (this is different from a visit pass or tourist visa) when visiting some of the countries. Take the case of the countries in the Pacific Islands, where you will pass through either New Zealand or Australia, to get to the aforementioned, thus you need to secure a New Zealand transit visa or Australia transit visa. Another example, you may need to secure a US transit visa en route to South American countries. Because as far as I know, there are no direct flights from Manila to Bolivia or Manila to Ecuador. Yes, transit visa might be the biggest challenge for a Pinoy travelling to the countries listed above
 
- Transit visa may be required when you're not on a direct flight

- Immigration laws / procedures may change some times so it is best to double-check the immigration rules of the country you’re planning to visit before making a trip
