    Hello from the Philippines

    Welcome to the forum! There is no registration system for people walking on the Camino. You need to have an official "credencial" (pilgrim "passport") but you simply fill that in and get it stamped en route. A search on the forum for "schengen philippines" gives these results, which might help.

    Hello from the Philippines

    Heeeellllooo fellow pilgrims. Am Shiela from the Philippines and walking through Camino de Frances route this coming July. As I have to apply for Schengen Visa and one of the requirements is accommodation details, 30-35 days of pre-booking is quite taxing, so is there a registration website...

    Schengen Requirement to show €100 per day upon entry to Spain?

    Commonwealth SE Asian countries do enjoy more freedom of movement on short visits to Europe (not just the UK) so I think that was the historical connection. I used to think it was to do with the presence of terrorist groups but Malaysia enjoys a lot more visa privileges than the Philippines or...

    Visa for Thai person without prearranged accommodation

    Yes I get that. Just saying, that's what we had to do. I won't go into all the drama we have had with Thai family members trying to get Visa to visit us here in Australia. Just for a holiday! The Visa process can get extremely offensive, very unfair and totally disheartening. And this was...

    Schengen agreement clarification for US citizens

    I recommend that you get really good advice on this. What you write can be easily misunderstood. I had a look at the information on the website of the Consulate of Spain in Washington. What I read there only confirms what I knew already about visa requirements for the Schengen area. It all...

    Schengen Visa for Filipino to do Camino

    Hi there, I can't find that Philippine citizens need special visa for Schengen (Spain is part of it) area of the EU. Maybe I missed something and other might chime in but I would say that your GF doesn't need any. The other thing is Schengen rule for foreign citizen which means 90 days stay in...
