Visa, Transportation & Accommodation

Visa

Citizens of many countries are allowed entry to the Philippines without visas for a period of less than thirty (30) days as long as they possess valid return tickets to their port of origin or next destination. For more information, kindly visit the link to the

Department of Foreign Affairs' guidelines for temporary visitors. 

Accommodation

Student participants are encouraged to stay at the UP NISMED (National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development) Hostel. This can be reached by a 10 minute walk from the school and workshop venue. For this, the organizers will facilitate the reservations.  

The accommodation of the invited lecturers and speakers will be announced soon.

Participants may opt to stay at inns and other hotels close to the venue.

Transportation

The most convenient way from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminals to UP Diliman campus or to the chosen accommodation is via a ride-hailing service such as Grab or Green GSM (Metered Taxi). You can download the Grab or Green GSM app to book a ride. A Grab ride from the NAIA to the UP Diliman Campus approximately costs from PhP 600.00 to PhP 900.00. On the other hand, a Green GSM taxi for the same distance would approximately cost between PhP 350.00 to PhP 450.00.
