Good news for Indian travellers! You can now visit Philippines without visa

Indian travelers can now explore the Philippines without a visa, thanks to two newly introduced visa-free entry options aimed at boosting tourism and strengthening bilateral ties.

1. 14-Day Visa-Free Entry:
All Indian passport holders can visit the Philippines for up to 14 days exclusively for tourism purposes. This entry is non-extendable and cannot be converted into another visa type. Requirements include a passport valid for at least six months beyond the stay, proof of accommodation, confirmed return or onward ticket, evidence of sufficient funds, and no derogatory immigration record.

2. 30-Day Visa-Free Entry for AJACSSUK Visa Holders:
Indian nationals holding valid visas or permanent residency from Australia, Japan, America, Canada, Schengen countries, Singapore, or the United Kingdom (collectively referred to as AJACSSUK) are eligible for a 30-day visa-free stay. This option is also non-extendable and solely for tourism. Travelers must present a valid AJACSSUK visa or residency permit, along with the standard documentation required for the 14-day entry. For those not qualifying under these categories, the Philippines continues to offer an e-visa system for a 30-day single-entry stay. These measures are expected to enhance travel convenience for Indian tourists and foster closer diplomatic and economic relations between the two nations
