\n<\/strong>For most nationalities the tourist visa is valid for 30 days (29 nights) and will be issued upon entry into the country, usually at the airport. If you stay longer you can apply for a visa in your home country before traveling to the Philippines. Please check with the Philippine embassy in your country for details if a visa is required or not.<\/p>\nMONEY (Currency Rates\/Exchange<\/a>)<\/strong>
\nPlease be aware that it is not possible to change money in some of our destinations. To get some cash in Philippine Pisos it is recommended you exchange some currency directly at the airport (before leaving the building). However, dive center bills can be paid in PHP, USD, EUR, CHF, AUD, or YEN. When accepted, all credit card payments will be converted into USD. When carrying US currency (highly recommended) make sure the bills are CRISP and CLEAN. No tears, folds, writing, marks of any kind or any other condition depicting non-new\/crisp state. Make sure you carry more than enough for terminal\/airport fees, visa, incidentals, meals, side trips, tips, souvenirs, rental equipment, dives, unforeseen circumstances, etc..<\/p>\nFlights

\nYou may schedule your flight into and out of Manila (MNL<\/span>) or into and out of Cebu City, (CEB<\/a>). Into and out of CEBU is definitely more convenient if heading from and directly back to the States. If flying into Manila, you may arrange for a regional flight to Cebu City (CEB<\/a>) from Manila. I use Philippine Airlines, (PAL) from Manila. PAL has almost hourly round trip between Manila (MNL) and Cebu City, (CEB<\/a>). You may of course make any arrangements to get to Cebu City (CEB<\/a>), CEBU Philippines.. Please arrange your flight to arrive no later than May 24, 2019. You may of course arrive earlier than Friday May 24, 2019. You will need to spend at least one night in the Philippines, preferably in Cebu before we embark on our journey May 25, 2019.<\/p>\nArriving Early<\/h5>\n
