not really, flor. this means we can go to the immigration counter directly upon arrival to have our passports stamped where it will also indicate the maximum days we can stay in their country. these range from 14-30 days depending on the country you visit. anything more than this would need a visa. i don't know the exact title but it's a courtesy visit permit given by asean countries (except myanmar) + hk & macau to philippine citizens as per existing diplomatic agreements.

for us, there is no extra step re: applying for a visa at the airport/border itself, giving id photos, and paying for it in a separate booth before going through immigration. or if it's in the immigration counter itself you'd need to pay your visa fee there. this is the procedure for visa on arrival that i know of which are in place in some asean countries for non-asean citizens. i think the visa on arrival procedure for macau would be pretty much the same.
