Article: If you're traveling from outside the Philippines and don't already have a current and valid passport, you will need to obtain one before being allowed into the Philippines. Check online or with your local post office about how to obtain a passport. It can take several weeks for your passport application to process after you send it in. Be sure to allow enough time between when you send your application in and when you leave for your trip. If you are planning to stay in the Philippines for longer than 30 days, you will need to apply for and obtain a visa. Visit the Philippine embassy website for more information: https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/consular/visa/important-visa-information/. If you're traveling from outside the Philippines, you will need to get to either Cebu City on the island of Cebu, or to Dumaguete which in the Negros Oriental region of Negros Island. Both cities have international airports. Alternatively, you can fly to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and take a smaller flight to either city. Due to its small size, Sumilon Island only has one hotel -- the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort. You can book a room there, or if you're planning to go to Sumilon Island on a day trip, you have the option of staying closer to Cebu City or Dumaguete instead. Search online for the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort or for hotels near Cebu City or Dumaguete.
