Filipina's first time experience in India (Immigration,Observations, Requirements, and Tips)

[@nixonraj]

Thanks for visiting India. Next time around, try visiting other major destinations like Mumbai, Goa, Pondicherry, Munnar and more. Also, make some time to visit the North Eastern states. You will feel right at home there. 'Same Same' Thank you and God bless.

[@gelliregalado0408]

Hello! I went back for the 2nd time in India this March for a month, and I visited Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, Amritsar, Kashmir and Coimbatore. I was about to go to Munnar as well but my schedule didn't allow to me to. I definitely will on my 3rd visit coz I love India so much. Thank you and God bless too!

Thank you for this informative Video, i watched in full. Btw, how i can i book to Malaysian Airlines po? Can you share a link? Thanks

[@gemdecal5886]

Also, can i know if i could book from Philippines to Malaysia thru Malaysian Airlines, then Malaysia to New Delhi. Then going back is from New Delhi to Singapore then Singapore to Philippines? Is that ok with the immigration? How can i know the layover period from each airline?

Hello Ate new subscriber here! 🎉 I am first time solo traveller po and planning to go to Delhi during Holi next year. I have a question abt getting an eVisa po, when I applied they're asking for your flight dates and flight #, pero I haven't booked any ticket po. Do you need to book a real ticket before applying for a tourist Visa? Ksi very risky, what if your Visa won't be approved tas nabook mo na yung ticket mo. Can you make a video abt how you got your eVisa? Hope you'll be able to make one. Big thanks for sharing your experiences! 🥰🙏

[@gelliregalado0408]

Hello! Actually, yung e-visa po is just for formality sake. So you don’t need to worry po about getting denied since wala silang basis na i deny ka. Sa e-visa kasi, walang requirements na pinapasa unlike yung regular visa nila na may chance ma deny kasi you will need to pass account statements,bank certs,itr,etc. And lahat talaga ng 1st time travellers po going to India is e-visa lang requirement. At first medyo kabado rin po ako na baka ma deny but lahat naman po ng nababasa ko, lahat approved if e-visa lang.

hi, planning to travel in India by June. magkano kaya ang expenses for 1 week? and mas ok ba ang airbnb instead of hotel as solo traveler? eyeing Mumbai or Delhi. thanks

[@gelliregalado0408]

Hello! Yes po mas okay ang airbnb kasi malalaki yung rooms nila. If on a budget naman, super mura lang po sa booking.com ng hotels nila. Siguro kasya naman po 50k for a week pero depends pa rin sa inyo. Pwede na po max of 100k para sure na sure kasi mahirap pag wala extra money.
