REMINDERS
A visa is not a guarantee for entry into the country, as entry to / exit from the Philippines is a function of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI). In this regard, foreign nationals are advised to bring with them the necessary documentary proof in connection with their purpose of entry into the Philippines, which may be required by immigration officials to be presented at the port of entry.
