Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a visa for Bohol?
- Most nationalities enter the Philippines visa-free for 30 days, extendable to 59. A few need a visa in advance. Confirm on bi.gov.ph. The same rules apply whether you're entering through Manila, Cebu, or Panglao Airport.
- What should I sort before I fly?
- Visa and onward ticket, a cash plan (ATMs thin outside Tagbilaran and Alona Beach), an airport SIM, ferry booking if you're arriving via Cebu, and your dates against the season. The 'Before you go' guides cover each in one place.
- Is Bohol good for a longer stay?
- Yes — Tagbilaran is a small, walkable city with a functioning expat layer. Panglao suits long-term dive training or digital nomad stays. Neither has the infrastructure of Cebu City, which is an asset or a drawback depending on what you're after. The expat and diving-certification guides cover the practical detail.
