Notes and Precautions for Philippine Tourist Visa Processing

Q: What visa do you need to apply for to the Philippines? Is there a landing visa?

A: You need to apply for a Philippine personal tourist visa in advance. There is no landing visa.

Q: Philippine visa-free policy:

Answer: The Philippine government grants Chinese ordinary passport holders with valid visas from any country of Schengen, Australia, the United States, Canada or Japan to enter the Philippines visa-free for a stay of 7 days. As long as the conditions are met, they can enter the Philippines visa-free.

PS: At present, Beijing Customs and Shanghai Customs may not release Schengen, Australia, the United States, Canada or Japan. In order to ensure foolproof, it is recommended to apply for a visa to travel to the Philippines! (Hong Kong departure is OK, you can put a hundred hearts)

Matters needing attention (important) that must be seen!!

1. At present, there are direct flights to the Philippines [Cebu] in China. Friends who have bought direct flights to Cebu in China should remember to pay attention to whether the port of entry on their visa is Cebu, because most visas use Manila as the port of entry. If the port of entry for your visa is Manila and the air ticket is Cebu, the domestic customs may not release it!! When applying for a visa, you must ensure that the visa port of entry and the air ticket destination are the same place!!

2. The domestic departure must have the Philippine round-trip ticket itinerary, the domestic airport counter needs you to show the return itinerary to get you on the plane, so be sure to prepare the round-trip ticket itinerary before departure!
