Philippines visa for India passport holders

You don't need a visa for a tourist visit, as long as you stay within the limit and meet the conditions below.

Since 8 June 2025, ordinary Indian tourists may enter for 14 days; the stay cannot be extended or converted. You need a passport valid for six months beyond the stay, a confirmed hotel booking, proof of funds, a return or onward ticket and no derogatory record with the Bureau of Immigration. Entry is possible at any Philippine port. This exemption excludes transit and long-term or non-tourist purposes. A separate 30-day option requires a qualifying third-country visa or residence.

Indian tourists holding a current valid visa or residence permit from the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, a Schengen state, Singapore or the United Kingdom may qualify for a separate 30-day visit, without extension or conversion. The passport must be valid for six months beyond the stay; carry a return or onward ticket and meet the BI record requirements. This route is available at Philippine ports of entry for tourism and does not provide a transit exemption. Without this qualifying foreign document, the ordinary exemption is 14 days.

Foreign tourists generally complete free eTravel arrival registration within 72 hours of arrival and save the QR code. Use the government portal. Registration does not replace a visa or guarantee admission.

DFA visa-free tourist rules require a return or onward ticket. Nationality-specific tourist concessions also specify it; special resident or Balikbayan arrangements need separate checks.

Travel insurance isn't required for foreign tourists, but it's recommended.

These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.

• The passport generally must be valid for six months beyond the contemplated stay. Visa applications accept machine-readable or electronic passports.
• Initial visa-free stays and exceptions vary by passport. Some routes restrict airports or require supporting visas and residence documents.
• Carry return or onward-travel evidence and read the passport-specific conditions before travelling.
