About Nilesh Korgaokar
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions regarding travel to the Philippines for both business and leisure. Anybody wanting to know the best beaches, archipelagos, coral reefs, dive sites, island resorts, including cheap flights etc. Please note that I DO NOT have any experience or expertise in setting up a business in the Philippines or what are the procedures that one needs to follow if you want to get married to a local Filipino. I also DO NOT have any information about how to apply for a visa. For such questions it is best that you approach the local Philippine Embassy in your own country and enquire there.

Experience
I travel often to the country on business and when here for longer periods never miss an opportunity to explore the country's hidden treasures - mostly the beaches and dive sites.
