Securing a Visa

ACC participants are responsible themselves for obtaining a visa for the Philippines if they require one. Nationals from countries listed here who are traveling to the Philippines for business and tourism purposes are allowed to enter the Philippines without visas for a stay not exceeding twenty-one (21) days, provided they hold valid tickets for their return journey to port of origin or next port of destination and their passports valid for a period of at least six (6) months beyond the contemplated period of stay. However, Immigration Officers at ports of entry may exercise their discretion to admit holders of passports valid for at least sixty (60) days beyond the intended period of stay.
The following are the minimum requirements for applying a temporary visitor’s visa: • Passport/Travel Document Valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended period of stay in the Philippines; • Duly Accomplished Visa application forms; • Passport Photos (2 pieces); • Proof of bona fide status as tourist or businessman; • Confirmed tickets for return or onward journey to the next port of destination; and • Payment of Visa Fees
Applicants for temporary visitor's visa should apply at the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate from their place of residence. Philippine Embassies and Philippine consulate abroad are listed here.
