Is the Philippine tourist visa the same as the business visa? Which is better?

Tourism and business are the two major visas in the Philippines, and they are also the two most applied visas. Therefore, it can be seen that there will be more tourists traveling abroad and participating in business. Recently, someone asked: Which is better, Philippine tourist visa or business visa?

The only difference between the above two visas is the visa materials. The materials for tourist visas are much less than those for business visas, so tourist visas are easier to handle. Details are as follows:

Tourist Visa:

The embassy's requirements for such visas are relatively low. The materials that need to be provided are only some basic materials: ID cards, photos, passports, and application forms. It is also relatively easy for applicants to prepare materials. As long as the materials are true and complete, they can basically apply for approval.

Business Visa:

In addition to submitting some basic materials, this kind of visa also needs to provide: work certificate, deposit certificate, certificate of the inviting party, used Philippine business visa page, round-trip ticket reservation form, front page of the passport of the legal representative of the inviting company, invitation letter, etc. The more materials provided, the more requirements will be required, and the less chance of obtaining a visa will be.

However, applicants need to be reminded that they cannot apply for which visa because of which one is better. They need to choose a visa that suits them. If the visa you apply for does not conform to your own purpose, the embassy will directly refuse the visa even if the materials are complete. There is no choice.

If the applicant wants to get the visa smoothly but is worried about being refused, he can ask us to handle it. We will help the applicant to revise the materials. If there is no problem, we will help the applicant to submit the materials to the embassy for acceptance and increase the visa issuing rate.
