HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD ON A THIRD WORLD PASSPORT

I was born in a ‘third world country‘, the Philippines, and with the ‘power’ that my passport holds — which is low — I am no stranger to the fact that I can’t just travel on a whim.

....

Swedish people can go visa-free to over 174 countries whereas my Philippines passport can only go to 60 countries... I can’t just go to American or European countries at just about any time without going through rigorous + costly visa applications and strict immigration officers first.
...

» Prioritize visa-free entry or VOA (visa-on arrival) countries!

... don’t force yourself to go to Europe or USA especially if it would take you a while to prepare all your documents.
VisaMapper.com is a good resource for determining what countries you can enter into freely or not — this is as dependent on your passport of course;...research and verify things either by doing a quick search on Google or by inquiring with the appropriate embassy.

» Or when mixing it up…

...let’s say you really want to mix it up and visit one or several first world countries while you’re journeying to visa-free countries for years or several months. With that aim in mind... all visas that you need to acquire should be applied for beforehand. This is because most countries want you to apply for a visa in your home country...plan out your route beforehand and prepare everything in advance.

When it comes to the paperwork…
1.Accurate, complete, and genuine documents
2.True, strong, and reasonable purpose of entry/stay
3.Sufficient funds or support
4.Proof of NOT overstaying

» Accommodations and flights.
Find connections. Look up your friends, family, and members abroad...You’ll need to provide a proof of your relationship with your host, an invitation letter, and some other documentations that the embassy would need

Consider a cultural homestay... in exchange for 3-months’ worth of accommodation and food with a host family abroad, you will either share your skills with the family members or your native language for a certain amount of time in a week. A sample organization that arranges this is Cultural Homestay International and though they can only arrange 3-month trips at a time, if you want to travel for a year, they can definitely combine multiple destinations for you.

Secure a cheap short-term rental space...definitely better than booking numerous hotel details in a span of, let’s say, 3 months...if hotels or hostels will fit your travel plans better... Booking.com since payments are usually made after you check out of the establishment (so payment is not made upfront) and cancellations can even be done 24 hours prior to your booked date (just read through the hotel policies to be sure)

...For flights, make sure that your connecting flights’ time slots are not too close.

» Money. Money. Money..
What else, but save up!
Consider sponsorship. Ask your parents, a friend, or a relative that is employed or ‘well off’ to act as your sponsor on paper.

Self-employed people... If you’re planning on traveling the world for a looong time and you plan to work as a digital nomad, freelancer, or entrepreneur while you’re on the road (like I do), you will be classified as a self-employed individual...embassies will typically need a copy of your business registration/business permit, tax statements or income tax return for the past year, and bank statements or financial reports for the last 3 months. (If you’re employed remotely by a company as a freelancer, you can also show your certificate of employment)....register yourself or your business... as soon as you could...

Unemployed people...Some of the documents that could prove your solvency are: proof of investments or financial assets, copies of personal credit cards or bank statements in the last 3 months, or (like I mentioned previously) a sponsorship letter from your sponsor.

» Overstaying
it helps to show proof [that you will not overstay] such as:

1)Documents that mention an affair or event that would necessitate your return (job offer, start of your studies, wedding, etc.)
2) Proof of possession of real and personal property in your home country (real estate, car, etc.)
3) Or a letter from you or from people who know you, stating any other reason(s) why you won’t overstay abroad (your long-term plans in your residence country, etc.)

When you want a long-term stay in one destination…

Working. Au pair jobs: Very popular in Europe...check: .GreatAuPair.com, IAPA.org, Europa-Pages.com/au_pair/, or TransitionsAbroad.com

Teaching English:...: TIEOnline.com, SearchAssociates.com, ESLcafe.com, and GoAbroad.com/teach-abroad
Freelancing: Apparently, there are a couple of countries worldwide that offer a self-employment visa which allows you to stay in their country long-term as an artist, freelancer, digital nomad, etc. (So far I’ve learned that Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Dubai offer this type of visa so go and inquire with their respective embassies to know more info about this).

Working Holiday Visas. If you’re aged 18 to 35, you can try this special visa that serves as a residence permit. It allows you to stay in a another country for 1 to 2 years and you can either work or study during that time [check wikipedia]
