It’s important to note that the Philippines does not offer a general e‑visa system for international visitors. Visa‑free access is available to citizens of 157 countries—with stays ranging from 14 to 59 days, depending on nationality. For example, Indian passport holders may stay up to 14 days, or up to 30 days if holding a valid visa or residence permit from select countries. All visitors must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond their stay and a valid return or onward ticket. Others must apply for a Temporary Visitor Visa (9(a)) through a Philippine Embassy or Consulate.
