Visa to the Philippines

Citizens of a number of countries may enter the Philippines without a visa for short-term tourist stays of 14 to 59 days. However, nationals of many countries are required to apply for a visa in advance to visit the Philippines.

Citizens of many countries, including citizens of the US, EU, Canada, Australia and the UK, are authorized to enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days.

A Philippine visa is an authorization in the form of a stamp placed by a consular officer of a Philippine embassy or consulate abroad at the time of application. It confirms the processing of the visa application and entitles the holder to enter the Philippines, with subsequent request for authorization from Philippine immigration authorities upon entry.

The visa issued may be either a nonimmigrant visa or an immigrant visa. Non-immigrant visas grant the right to temporarily stay in the country for up to 59 days for the purpose of tourism, transit, business, study or employment. Immigrant visas, on the other hand, are for foreign nationals seeking to become permanent residents of the Philippines.

However, the visa issued does not guarantee automatic entry into the country as this decision is made by the immigration authorities at the port of entry when the tourist arrives.

You should contact the nearest Philippine embassy or consulate in advance to apply for a visa. You can also use our services to support you in the process of obtaining a Philippine visa. Our company constantly monitors changes in visa rules and procedures, which allows us to provide our clients with up-to-date information on new requirements and possible difficulties in obtaining a visa.
