Getting there
Flying
Flying to Manila: Most international travelers will arrive at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL). Bonifacio Global City is approximately a 20–30 minute drive from the airport, depending on traffic.
We recommend using Grab (the local ride-share app) for easy transportation from the airport. Standard fare should be ₱400–₱700 PHP (~$7–$12 USD). If you’d prefer assistance arranging an airport transfer, please email mwcfwedding@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to help coordinate transportation.
Getting around
Bonifacio Global City is very walkable, with restaurants, shops, and wedding events located close together. For trips outside of BGC, we recommend using Grab, which is reliable and easy to use throughout Manila. Public transportation options are more limited and can be challenging for visitors, so ride-share services are generally the most convenient way to get around. Unless you are a professional driver, we recommend avoiding rental cars due to traffic, parking difficulties, and differences in driving etiquette.
Passports & Visas
All travelers should ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their date of entry into the Philippines.
Visa requirements vary by country of citizenship.
U.S. passport holders do not need a visa for short stays and are typically permitted to stay in the Philippines for up to 30 days for tourism.
Citizens of many other countries (including much of Europe, Australia, Canada, and parts of Asia) also enjoy visa-free entry for short tourist visits.
Some nationalities may require a visa in advance or have different length-of-stay limits.
Because entry requirements can change, we recommend checking with your local Philippine embassy or official government travel website to confirm the most up-to-date visa rules based on your passport.
If you have questions or would like help navigating documentation requirements, please feel free to reach out to us at mwcfwedding@gmail.com — we’re happy to help.
