PHILIPPINE VISA

Welcome

A Philippine Visa is an endorsement made on a travel document by a consular officer at a Philippine Embassy or Consulate abroad denoting that the visa application has been properly examined and that the bearer is permitted to proceed to the Philippines and request permission from the Philippine Immigration authorities at the ports of entries to enter the country.

The visa issued is not a guarantee for entry into the country, as entry to / exit from the Philippines is a function of the Bureau of Immigration. In this regard, foreign nationals are advised to bring with them the necessary documentary proof in connection with their purpose of entry into the Philippines, which may be required by immigration officials to be presented at the port of entry.

For clarification on the travel restriction and other information on the entry to the Philippines, which is a function of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI), kindly contact them at:
