Simple and fast application for your visa for the Philippines
 

A visa for the Philippines is an important document for travelers who want to visit this amazing island state. Before entering the country, it is important that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with the visa regulations, which depend on the purpose and duration of your visit.

It is important that all travelers must apply for an electronic travel declaration ( eTravel One-Stop). This is a mandatory requirement imposed by the Philippine government to ensure the safety and effective control of tourist flows.

Citizens of many countries, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, have the privilege of entering the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days. This greatly simplifies the planning of a tourist trip and makes the Philippines a particularly attractive destination for European travelers.

Philippine visas are divided into the categories of Non-Immigrant and Immigrant. Non-immigrant visas are intended for a temporary stay of up to 59 days for various purposes such as tourism, transit, business, study, or work. Immigrant visas are issued to foreign nationals planning a long-term or permanent stay in the Philippines.

Keep in mind that a visa does not automatically guarantee entry into the country. The final decision will be made by the immigration authorities at the port of entry upon arrival. Therefore, it is extremely important that you carry all the necessary documents that confirm the purpose of your visit and your ability to pay.

For those who have decided to extend their stay in the Philippines, there is the option to extend their visa in the country. This is especially important for travelers who want to stay longer than originally planned.

Extra caution should be taken when traveling with children. A child entering the Philippines may need additional documents confirming the parentage and permission to exit from the parents or legal guardians.

Differences between Immigration, Non-Immigration, and Special Visas

There are different types of visas required depending on the purpose and duration of your stay in a country. Immigration visas and non-immigration visas are the two main categories of visas.

Immigration Visas

Immigration visas allow a person to immigrate to a country and live and work there permanently. These visas usually require a job offer, family reunification, or some other form of permanent ties to the country. An example of an immigration visa is the Green Card system in the USA.

Non-Immigration Visas

Non-immigration visas, on the other hand, allow a person to visit a country for a limited period and for a specific purpose, such as vacation, business trips, or study. These visas do not allow the holder to live and work permanently in the country. An example of a non-immigration visa is the tourist visa, available for the Philippines.

Special Visas

Special visas are visas issued for specific purposes or groups of people. These may include work visas for specific professional groups, religious visas, athlete and artist visas, transit visas, and many others. An example of a special visa is the work visa available for the Philippines, which requires the applicant to provide a job contract and approval from the Philippine Department of Labor.

Immigration visas
  • Number of entries: multiple entries
  • Duration of stay: permanent residence
  • Period of visa validity: unlimited
Non-immigration visas
  • Frequency of entry: single or multiple entry, depending on the type of visa
  • Duration of stay: varies from a few days to several years, usually between 30 days and 3 years
  • Validity of visa: varies from 90 days to several years. Some visas can be extended.

A standard tourist visa is usually issued for a stay of up to 30 days. For longer stays, it is possible to obtain a visa for 59 days or to extend an existing visa.

Business visas can be issued for up to three months and student visas for the entire duration of the studies, but not longer than one year with the possibility of extension.

The Special Resident Retiree Visa (SRRV) allows permanent residence in the country.

Immigration visas for spouses and minor children of Filipino citizens, as well as for former Filipinos and their families, are processed within two weeks of submission of all required documents.
