Denn es wird erst wieder nächstes Jahr reguläre Touristen Visas geben!
Alleine der Prozess, durch den ich z.Zt. durchmache um nach meiner Reise wieder in die Philippinen zurückzukommen, ist bereits eine eigene Geschichte wert. Und trotzdem bin ich am Überlegen ob ich wirklich fliegen soll.
Hier die offizielle Information der Botschaft der Philippinen in Berlin? Weisst Du mehr? Oder meinst Du Einreisen aus China?
