Visa:
You will get a stamp in you passport, when you enter the country, that allow you to stay 21 days.
If you extend your stay, while you are in the country, you just need to go to the Immigration, and they will give you a stamp, valid for 2 month, - something you can do for max. 1 year.
If you stay a few days to long, - you can choose to pay the fee on your way out, or visit the Immigration before leaving.
Good idea, is to call the Philippine Embassy or Consulate in your home country, and get the visa before you go, if you are not sure for how long, you plan to stay.
Travel Precautions: Medical
Many first-time visitors to this island nation often harbor fears of a wide variety of debilitating – or even deadly – diseases which may befall them during their visit. In the Philippines such fears of disease-borne calamity are generally unwarranted.
However, as the Philippines does cover many widely diverse and tropical regions, certain common-sense precautions and pre-arrival vaccinations are always advisable particularly for the following diseases:
|
Typhoid Fever As this disease is quite common to tropical Asian regions, a valid pre-emptive vaccination is strongly recommended. Typhoid Fever is typically contracted from tainted food or water.
|
|
Hepatitis B. As Southeast Asia remains the "homeland" of this dreadful malaise, a Hepatitis vaccination is highly recommended. Hepatitis B is transmitted in much the same way as AIDS.
|
|
Tetanus. When visiting any underdeveloped tropical region or country, an updated Tetanus vaccination is always advisable. |
|
Cholera While rare, Cholera may occur during the rainy season months. Opinions vary regarding the value of a Cholera vaccination so we would recommend consulting with your personal health care provider.
|
|
Malaria Malaria has never been a concern on Coral bay or throughout the surrounding areas. In other locations around the Philippines however, contracting Malaria could be a rare possibility. While a number of vaccines to prevent the onset of Malaria remain in clinical trials, those already infected can be treated by a number of orally-administered antimalarial drugs.
|
|
Dengue Fever This is a serious mosquito-transmitted infection with symptoms that include high fever, a bright-red rash and severe head and muscle pains. While, at this writing, there is no vaccination or treatment for Dengue, the infection does abate over time and typically without serious medical treatment.
