Let me tell you the story of how this idea started.

Ever figured out your visa requirements from five different sources at midnight?

​

Yeah. Same.

​

I have dreamt of visiting all the countries in the world at a young age, and for me, if you want something so bad, you'll always find a way to get it. However, it dawned on me that not everything goes your way, especially when traveling.

 

Especially when we have a passport that the world didn't exactly design its doors for.

 

As a Filipino traveler, you don't just pack your bags and go. You research, you second-guess, you over-prepare. You piece together visa requirements from Reddit threads, Facebook groups, and expired blog posts written for someone else's passport. You stand at immigration, heart racing, running through a mental checklist of everything you might have forgotten.
 

Nobody hands you a guide. Nobody tells you exactly what the officer will ask, what bank statement amount is enough, or whether your hotel booking needs to be refundable or not. You figure it out yourself.

​

So I did what I always do. I figured it out myself.

 

And now, I am trying to build a place so you don't have to.

​

Alpasan is for every Filipino who has ever googled "Schengen visa requirements Philippines," "how to get an Indian e-visa," "Japan visa rejection reasons," or "pwede ba mag-travel ng walang ITR" at midnight and felt the overwhelm hit before even finishing the search.

 

For every traveler piecing together requirements from five different sources.

For every person who has ever felt like the world wasn't built for their passport.

​

It was.

 

We're just making it easier to get there.

​

Tara na, kaya mo.

PS.

Alpasan comes from the Filipino word alpas, meaning to break free, to finally get loose, to escape what was holding you back. I named it that because that's exactly what travel feels like when you stop letting the process intimidate you. You're not just booking a flight. You're breaking free! And the logo is inspired by... guess what? The Philippine eagle ;) 

About_Mongolia_Jezze.jpeg

Mongolia, with temperatures reaching  -40 degrees in winter, is visa-free for Filipinos for 21 days.

About_Tajikistan_Jezze.jpeg

Tajikistan, with pristine lakes (such as the Iskanderkul) and landscapes, is visa-free for Filipinos for 30 days. However, if you intend to stay longer than 10 days, you need to register at the Office of Visas and Registrations with a fee.

About_Kyrgyzstan_Jezze.jpg

Kyrgyzstan, known for it's nomadic culture with mountainous landscape, is a 30-day e-visa/visa-on-arrival that costs 3600 som (roughly 3300PHP). Note that land borders do not offer a visa-on-arrival, and it is easier to get one via flight as you just need to pay once you land. But for e-visa, there are chances of getting rejected (like me!) so I had to book a flight to go.
