Is it difficult to get a business visa in the Philippines?

To travel to different countries, you need to choose different visa types according to the purpose of entry. However, different countries and different types of visas are different in difficulty. Some people want to know, is it difficult to process a business visa in the Philippines?

People who go to the Philippines to engage in business activities can apply for sticker visas by preparing paper materials, or they can apply for visas on arrival after arriving in the Philippines. For applicants, the difficulty of obtaining a visa is related to the purpose of entry and the materials provided.

Generally speaking, people applying for Philippine sticker visa must prepare corresponding visa materials according to their entry purpose. Business visa applicants need to prepare passports: personal passports, photos, complete visa form, photocopy of ID card, photocopy of business license (notarized), unit dispatch letter, original air ticket, Philippine invitation letter, Philippine company business license, photocopy of the first page of the inviter's passport, etc.

The materials provided by the applicant must meet the requirements of the embassy, so that the visa will generally be issued smoothly. It should be noted that visas are also a reflection of the relationship between countries. If the applicant has recently been to a country that has a bad relationship with the visa applicant country, it will also affect the visa issue.

For example, the Philippine consulate in Guangzhou has issued a notice that it will no longer accept passports that have recently been to Cambodia for Philippine visas, and if passports that have been rejected by other consulates such as Macao, they will not be able to apply for visas at the Guangzhou consulate. It can be seen that the entry and exit records on the applicant's passport will also affect the visa issue.

Similarly, people who apply for landing visa should also pay attention to the issue of entry and exit records on their passports. In addition, not all "people engaged in business activities" can apply for landing visa. Only business people guaranteed by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce, a national chamber of commerce or a national government, or representatives who need to enter the Philippines to participate in activities or businessmen participating in competitions.

Therefore, those who want to apply for landing visa must first determine whether they meet the requirements before they can bring the relevant documents to apply after arrival, otherwise they can only apply for sticker visas in China in advance.
