Philippines visa requirements for Sri Lankan citizens

Sri Lanka citizens need a visa to visit the Philippines for tourism or business purposes. The Philippines does not offer visa-free entry for Sri Lanka passport holders, so a visa must be obtained in advance through a Philippine Embassy or Consulate before departure. In addition to holding a valid visa, Sri Lanka citizens must complete the mandatory Philippines eTravel registration within 72 hours before arrival.

Philippines eTravel Registration: A mandatory digital arrival form that Sri Lanka citizens must submit online before traveling. It is not a visa, but it is required for entry alongside an approved embassy-issued visa. After submission, travelers receive a QR code required for airline check-in and immigration clearance.
