Travelling Tips for the Philippines

Travelling Around

The Philippines consists of over 7,000 islands, so domestic flights, ferries, and boats are common for getting around. In cities, jeepneys, taxis, and tricycles are popular forms of transportation, while ridesharing apps like Grab are available in bigger cities.

Visa Requirements

New Zealand passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay and that you have a return or onward ticket. For longer stays, a visa extension can be arranged at immigration offices across the country.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to visit the Philippines is between November and April when the weather is generally dry, sunny, and perfect for island-hopping. The wet season, from June to October, can bring heavy rains and typhoons, especially in the northern regions.

Currency & ATMs

The local currency is the Philippine Peso (PHP). Major cities and tourist areas have plenty of ATMs but be sure to carry cash when visiting remote islands or rural areas as ATMs can be scarce.  Visa, Mastercard, and other major cards are widely accepted in urban areas.
