What are the special requirements for minors to apply for a Philippine visa?

Minors are relatively young and may be a special group in the eyes of the embassy, so there will also be some special requirements. What are the special requirements for minors to apply for a Philippine visa?

First of all, there is the issue of visa materials. When applying for a Philippine visa, the embassy requires the applicant to provide their own ID cards in the materials. However, due to China's regulations that some minors cannot apply for ID cards, the Philippine embassy also learned about this special situation through understanding. Therefore, the embassy will require applicants under the age of 16 not to provide ID cards, but to provide birth certificates or birth medical certificates instead of ID cards.

If you are an applicant over the age of 16, you must provide an ID card. If you do not provide it, you will be rejected directly by the embassy, and there will be a large rejection rate for re-application.

Then, because the minors are young and will not protect themselves, the embassy will worry about the safety of the applicants after they arrive in their own country. Therefore, considering the safety of the applicants, the embassy will require applicants under the age of 16 to apply for a visa with their parents or one of them and to travel together, otherwise the embassy will not accept the applicant's materials.

Finally, all minors are not allowed to enter the country visa-free, because the Philippine Embassy is only visa-free for business passports, and minors are basically ordinary passports, so they must apply for a visa before they can enter the country smoothly.

Note:

1. The application must be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the embassy, especially minors, who must travel with their parents, otherwise they will not be able to obtain a visa smoothly.

2. The Philippine embassy does not have high requirements for the materials provided by the applicants, but the applicants should also carefully prepare the materials according to the requirements of the embassy to avoid inconvenience.
