Filipino visa policy for Indian citizens

Indian citizens generally need a visa to visit the Philippines. However, they may qualify for 14 days of visa-free entry for tourism if they hold valid visas of residence permits from certain countries (such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Schengen Area countries, Australian, Canada, of Japan) may be granted up to 30 days visa-free entry, depending on the conditions in force at the time of travel. Otherwise, they must apply for a suitable visa through the Philippine government.

iVisa offers one entry document for India travelers:

  • Philippines eTravel Registration: A mandatory digital arrival form that Indian citizens must submit online before traveling to the Philippines. It is not a visa, but it is required for entry approval and helps streamline immigration processing.

    General Philippines entry requirements for India travelers are:

  • India passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
  • Approved Philippines eTravel QR code
  • Proof of onward or return travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (if requested)
  • Supporting documents proving visa-free eligibility (if applicable, such as a valid US/UK/Schengen visa)
