How Bissau-Guinean citizens enter Philippines
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Plan a trip of 30 days or fewer. Beyond that, Philippines needs a different permission and this page does not cover it.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to western and central Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago, and against all but essential travel to the rest of Mindanao, excluding Camiguin, Dinagat, and Siargao islands. Around 20 typhoons reach the Philippines each year, mostly between June and November. Large demonstrations are expected in Metro Manila and elsewhere, and these can disrupt travel.
