Arrival & Adaptation in the Philippines

Tropical Asia Agency Service

Traveling or relocating to the Philippines is the beginning of a new, bright, and eventful life.
To make sure everything goes smoothly and without stress, it’s important to prepare in advance and plan every step.
Tropical Asia has developed a comprehensive “Arrival & Adaptation Program”, which helps travelers and new residents feel confident even before boarding the plane — and maintain that confidence throughout the first days after arrival.

✈️ Support Before Arrival

Many problems can be avoided with proper preparation.
The Tropical Asia team helps organize everything required for a successful entry into the country:

Booking accommodation for immigration entry.
We provide an official booking confirmation (hotel, apartment, or guesthouse), which is required during immigration checks. All options fully comply with government requirements and are accepted without issues.

Filling out the eTravel form.
We complete your eTravel online declaration for you — accurately and in full accordance with the latest updates and regulations of Philippine Immigration.
This ensures that you won’t face questions at the border, and the registration process will take just a few minutes.

From this moment on, you can relax: everything is prepared, documents are ready, and you are already expected upon arrival.

🛬 Airport Meet & Greet + Transfer

After a long flight, a Tropical Asia representative will meet you directly in the arrival area.
They will assist with your luggage, escort you to the vehicle, and arrange a comfortable transfer to your accommodation or temporary housing.
We monitor your flight time, adjust for delays, and provide guidance — especially important for first-time travelers.

From the very first minutes, you feel cared for and supported: everything is under control.

📱 SIM Card & App Setup

To ensure you can immediately contact loved ones, order transport, and use the internet, we prepare a local SIM card in advance and activate it on the spot.
A Tropical Asia specialist also installs and configures essential apps — navigation, payments, delivery services, translators, and messengers.
Within minutes after leaving the airport, you are fully ready for life in your new country.

🏠 Temporary Accommodation (1–2 Nights)

If you haven’t chosen long-term housing yet, Tropical Asia will select and reserve a temporary stay option.
We work only with trusted hotels and apartments, ensuring that you arrive at a safe and comfortable place fully prepared for your check-in.
This booking is done in advance and can also be used as proof of accommodation for entry.

💱 Currency Exchange Assistance

To help you avoid poor exchange rates or mistakes, we guide you on where to exchange money safely and how to use local e-wallets properly.
Tropical Asia’s support helps you avoid common pitfalls, especially during the first days after arrival.

🏘 Housing Search, Negotiations & Contract Signing

The Philippines has its own rental rules — deposits, utility policies, lease terms, and conditions.
We select housing options based on your requirements, negotiate with property owners, and help you sign an official agreement.
Legal transparency and client protection are fundamental principles at Tropical Asia.

💬 Support During the First Days of Adaptation

During the first days, you will be guided by a personal consultant.
They will help with everyday tasks — from buying a SIM card or insurance policy to opening a bank account or choosing a supermarket.
Tropical Asia staff stay in touch until you feel fully confident and independent.
