Traveling with a Philippine passport often means navigating a maze of visa requirements. But here’s some good news: if you hold a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa, you can access several countries that would otherwise require a visa—sometimes visa-free, sometimes with visa-on-arrival or e-visa options.

In line with the theme of my blog, firsthandpassport, I’m only sharing destinations I’ve personally visited using my Philippine passport and one of these powerful visas. This list is based entirely on my own travel experiences—no secondhand info here!

As of this writing, I’ve traveled to 44 countries. I currently hold a valid US visa (until 2034) and a multiple-entry Schengen visa (valid until May 2026).
